Iron Man Movie Review

        Over the weekend, I saw Iron Man for another time and decided that it was an interesting film to write a review on. This movie is about a man named Tony Stark who is the CEO of a weapons manufacturing company that dominates in the advancement of weaponization. Tony is captured by a group of terrorists and is forced to create a "Jericho missile" which is one of the most recent and potent creations of Stark Industry. He secretly builds a suit of armor that he uses to break out of the terrorist encampment and make it back to his house. He then begins to develop the iron man suit and enhance its original design. News of the suit reaches one of his associates Obadiah Stane who wishes to take over the company. It turns out that Obadiah was the person who hired the terrorists to capture and kill Tony Stark and goes on to create a copy  of his original suit and battles Tony in his Iron Man suit at the very end. Tony comes away victorious and announces to the media that he is Iron Man.
        The plot line provides a very unique sequence of events but is only slightly more important than the character development. The character of Tony Stark and the life he leads are very interesting and provide almost as much importance as the story line. The story being about high-tech weapons and electronics added to make it a memorable film. The variety of far shots and close shots caused the film to feel more real and made the viewer feel immersed in the movie. The one scene where Pepper Potts and some others go to arrest Obadiah presents the feeling of being scared by providing a dark atmosphere that allows Obadiah to scare the audience by appearing out of the darkness. Overall, I feel that the film was incredibly well created and there is nothing to large that took away from the experience.
