What´s the plot?
Marvel’s latest comic book epic, ‘Iron Man’ hits our big screens this summer.
After being captured whilst demonstrating one of his new inventions to the US military, Tony Stark, dubbed ‘Lord of War’ for the press, begins to realise that everything he has created is not for the good of a nation but to hurt and kill innocent civilians. ‘Iron Man’ is created to help those who he put into harm's way.
‘Iron Man’ is the story of Tony Stark, the enigmatic heir to the Stark Enterprises fortune. A driven inventor and executive who seems to have it all. Though he commands his empire by day, by night he secretly becomes ‘Iron Man’, the living embodiment of decades of defence spending and innovation. Strapping on billions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art armour and weaponry each night to fight crime, terrorism and corporate espionage, Tony begins to crack under the strain of his fractured lifestyle and must ultimately confront the one enemy he can never beat -- himself.
Featuring an all star cast including Robert Downey Jr (Chaplin), Terrence Howard (Crash), Gwyneth Paltrow (Sliding Doors) and Jeff Bridges (Tron). The stunning visual effects, witty dialogue and dramatic sequences will keep you strapped to your seat.
If you loved ‘Spiderman’ and ‘X-Men’ you’ll love ‘Iron Man’.

This was brilliant! I really enjoyed it!
I reluctantly took my 9 year old to see this film! I LOVED IT!
From start to finish I loved every minute of it! Robert Downey Jr played an excellent part, as did the other characters.
You were able to lose yourself in the film, a good storyline with lots of thrills, spills, action and humour. Can't wait for the next one! Keep the same actors for the main characters and you're onto another winner!
This film will appeal to all age groups, (my opinion as a middle-aged mum!)
