Iron Man is the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It sets the stage for all the other Marvel movies to come, and it does a pretty kick ass job of doing so. Robert Downy Jr. stars as billionaire weapons designer Tony Stark, or as you may know him as Iron Man.
The Plot for the majority of the movie is the Origin of the Iron Crime Fighter. Tony is kidnapped by a gang in Iraq and is forced to create a weapon or be killed. Tony then creates a new weapon, a robotic suit of Armor, and defeats the gang and makes it back to America. Little does he know, this new suit could grab the attention of a greedy manager in his own company.
Iron Man is a great movie. Unlike most super hero movies, this one doesn't rely on explosions every scene. It manages to mix human drama and adventure into a great action movie. Iron Man is a must see.
