The Iron Man – The Hero with a Heart


After watching this movie on the big screen last Saturday, I realized that another movie is well worth its ticket price. I like the acting of Robert Downey Jr. being the famous Tony Sparks here. He reminds me of the funny side of Johnny Depp. For me, he also has the same features, actually a combination of the face of the famous actors Hugh Jackman and Sylvester Stallone. And I like the name of Gwyneth Paltrow in the film, she played as Pepper Potts.

Basically, The Iron Man is Rated PG-13 simply because of some intense sequence and violence in some parts of the film but more than that, it is definitely a great movie. The tagline, “Heroes aren’t born. They’re built.” gives a reasonable idea why Iron Man can also be called as hero. The big thing why Iron Man is different from other well-known characters is that he has the heart. Take note, his heart is one of a kind. He is the only man with that extraordinary glowing heart made with wires and other electrical components that actually give life to his own built armored suit. He was forced to become the Iron Man after he rescued himself from the custody of the terrorists who were unfortunately, his loyal customers. Yes, Tony Sparks is a well-recognized maker of powerful weapons but after that life-threatening incident, he eventually realized what he’s worth and decides to use technology through his own inventions to fight against evil.

All in all, I will rate this movie as 4 out of 5. It is really a very good movie. From the fight scenes to the graphics and also for the humor that the main character portrays, I think that this is definitely one of the best movies for this year!
