A powerful blow to the guts of all films about super heroes. That's probably how you can characterize this film. If you remember, almost not a single film about a lone hero from Marvel was complete without a river of tears and snot, which was smeared across the canvas of the poor viewer who came to watch a film about a killer guy who breaks everything and at the same time manages to save everyone. Hulk, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Tear head Human Spider was completely turned into a snotty, instructive melodrama; Blade alone partially escaped the fate of becoming a whiny drama about how hard it is to be a superhero, but if you soberly assess things, Blade had to cry.
Only one, always drunk, cracking jokes one after another, unaware of such a thing as conscience, sleeping exclusively with the most gorgeous girls, insanely rich, never tired and, of course, incredibly smart and inventive, Tony Stark didn’t give a damn about the worries of the poor student and the eternal loser Parker, the former FBI agent Frank, who lost his family, is blind and incredibly sensitive and kind hearted Matt's lawyer, super-cool biker Johnny, who, in his stupidity, entered into a contract with Satan because of family problems, the downtrodden scientist Bruce, who is having trouble personal life, and at times, due to severe stress, he turns into an uncontrollable and unkillable green giant who loves to destroy and scream, and is not used to thinking. All these losers in life remain in the shadow of the successful inventor and rich man Tony.
The film also has very, very good trait, which other directors who are going to film simple comics from Marvel should take note of: the action here is diluted with humor, and not with thoughts about the lofty and thoughts about the difficult lot of the hero. This, of course, is all wonderful, flexing your brain can also be very useful, but, in my opinion, this is not the kind of film you should do, not this kind. While the long-suffering spider is thinking about how to pay for the apartment, Tony is driving an Audi R8, when Sue and Reed are dreaming of a calm wedding, Stark and his friend are pouring sake on themselves in a private plane, surrounded by model-looking flight attendants dancing to deafening music.
The plot is outrageously simple. And nowhere and in no way does it remind you of its fellow films. The graphics are impeccable, the humor and action are dosed top level, you can see where 140 million American presidents went. It’s immediately obvious that Marvel themselves monitored the work; if it had been the same, during the production of previous film adaptations of this wonderful studio’s comics, old mistakes would not have been made, and the monster Raimi would not have been allowed to spoil poor Venom like that. Music is another aspect that I want to praise over and over again. The compositions are so chicly matched to the action taking place on the screen that you want to stand up and clap at the end of the film. The directing is as impeccable as everything else. To be honest, I didn’t expect this from Favreau, he was just a good guy, he gave slaps to all sorts of Raimi, Tim Story, and Ang Lee and Mark Steven Johnson.
The actors performed simply brilliantly; I have never watched with such pleasure the actions of actors on the screen while watching a film adaptation from Marvel. Downey just said The truth is I am Iron Man. outshone the entire fraternity of superheroes who appeared before him. Everyone from Affleck and Maguire to Cage and Griffith as the Rubber Man were instantly dwarfed by Robert's incredible talent.
Paltrow did the same with other superhero girls. Terrence Howard alone didn’t do anything new, as usual he played who he usually played before, nothing new, as always, the same mask on his face, of course, with Tony all the characters change, but without Stark Jim was left would be the same kind fellow that Terrence played before in other films.
What happens in the end? A killer picture in all respects about an incredibly smart brawler with a huge wallet who lives in cool house, drives extremely cool cars and sleeps with the same exclusively cool women was caught in an explosion by a super-grenade he had created, after which he stopped making guns and, having escaped from the captivity of the evil Afghans with the help of an unremarkable old inventor, made himself an incredibly cool suit. Which, by the way, looks so cool that Parker with his rags has rolled out his lip so much that it can be used to dig holes, and in which there are so many useful electronic gadgets that Batman from the DC comics universe has worn himself out and smokes in the corner of his hole when Tony drinks the most the best drinks in his huge dom on the ocean shore in California, waiting for his incredibly smart friend, talking computer, will paint the miracle suit.
Do you want to take a break from business, relax in your chair, laugh and enjoy a pleasant picture, wonderful special effects and brilliant acting? “Iron man” is the first thing I can recommend to you. I have not experienced such delight from a completely entertaining film for a long time, and probably never from a Marvel film adaptation.
Thanks to Marvel for good control over the filming process and a great character, Favreau for the wonderful director, the composer for the wonderful soundtrack, the designers for the mind-blowing effects, the actors for the colorful characters, and especially Robert Downey Jr. for the most gorgeous and unique portrayal of a super hero on the screen , now that Depp has secured his brilliant pirate Jack Sparrow, iron Man/Tony Stark is just Downey Jr. and no one else.
(Iron Man) his real name Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark - fictional character, a superhero who appears in the Marvel Comics universe.
Biography
The son of a wealthy industrialist, Tony Stark was a brilliant inventor and mechanic. He took over his father's business at the age of 21, turning the company into one of the leading arms manufacturers. Stark was wounded in the chest by shrapnel in Asia during a field test of the suitability of combat armor, which was supposed to give soldiers combat capabilities. Stark was captured by the weapons baron Wong-Chu, forcing him to create weapons of mass destruction - only then would he receive the surgery needed to save his life.
Together with his comrade and former prisoner Ho Yinsen, laureate Nobel Prize in physics, Stark began working on a modified exoskeleton equipped with heavy weapons. Secret even from Stark, Yinsen designed a protective chest plate to support the inventor's early heart. Stark put on the suit to try to escape captivity, but Professor Yinsen himself was killed in the decisive battle. He gave his life so Iron Man could live.
Having extorted the arms baron, Stark returned to America and redesigned the suit. Having made up a story that Iron Man was his guard, Stark entered into double life as a billionaire inventor and costumed adventurer. Early enemies infiltrated spies and foreign agents, intent on stealing Stark's armor and military secrets. Over time, Stark stopped protecting only his personal interests. He also became involved in issues of national and international security. Iron Man even helped find the Avengers and became their team's sponsor.
Despite his enormous wealth, Stark's life is not perfect. When starting his career, he was forced to wear a chest plate at all times to protect his heart. Stark is also a former alcoholic, and his personal life is a complete mess. In many ways, Iron Man is the release and the shell he wears to hold the world aside.
Iron Man's enemies took various shapes, from conquerors with ambitions for world domination and corporate competitors, to super-criminals and foreign agents seeking to surpass or steal his technology.
Stark grew up feeling an increasing responsibility to use his technology around the world. Stark Enterprises broke ties with the government to focus on technologies that would improve people's lives.
Taught at a young age to pay those who helped him live such a comfortable life, Stark founded many charitable foundations and institutions. With an increasing sense of responsibility, he reached a new level of maturation. Comparing his secret to debt rather than personal possessions, Stark chose to reveal to the world that he was Iron Man. With the weight of a double life on his shoulders, Stark found himself in unfamiliar territory as one of the few publicly known heroes.
Capabilities
Previously, he had no abilities, but being critically wounded during a battle with Mallin from the Extremis dimension, Stark introduced an altered techno-organic virus into his nervous system to save his life. This fused Stark's armor to his body, and allowed him to store the inner (bottom) layer of Iron Man's armor inside the body in the voids of his bones, and also control this inner layer through direct brain impulses. Tony is also able to connect to external communications systems such as satellites, cell phones and computers all over the world. Since the armor operating system is now linked directly to nervous system Stark, her response time noticeably accelerated. The Extremis armor provided him with accelerated reaction capabilities and a healing factor, allowing him to re-grow even entire organs. Iron Man was also able to stop and then restart the heart of the Crimson Dynamo.
In addition, Anthony Stark has a genius-level intellect, which allowed him to create complex inventions, including Iron Man's exoskeleton armor. Stark also has a forward-thinking business mindset.
It’s not worth putting him on a par with other superheroes - the ability is artificially created, and even military-robotic.
