Tony Stark is the epitome of "come-the-revolution…" capitalism, a morally ambiguous playboy billionaire who's built his wealth on mankind's incessant need to slaughter his fellows, but, after showing off one of his latest weapons to the military, Stark endures an experience that will leave him, both physically and mentally, a changed man. Stark is now an individual with a conscience, a burning desire to see justice done and the limitless cash to make it a reality… the building of a ‘superhero' has begun. 'Iron Man' is a cracking comic book adaptation helped considerably by the presence of an actor as good as Downey in the central role, but also by a relatively intelligent, often witty script, and gee… that CGI sure do look priddy.
