Ironman

Went to watch Ironman on Monday at TGV in Jaya Jusco, Kinta City. This movie tells the tale of “Tony Stark a.k.a Merchant of Death (Robert Downey Jr.) the CEO of Stark Industries which produces advance weapon systems for the U.S. military.

Tony’s father started the company after WWII, and after his father's death Tony inherited the company which worth billions. Tony lives the life as a hard drinking, rich playboy ladies man, but he is also a genius who has invented many high-tech items for the company.

Tony flies to Afghanistan to demonstrate a new weapon test, his latest rocket creation, the "Jericho" missile to the US Millitary. On his way back, his convoy is attacked by terrorists, and Tony is wounded by a Stark Industries missile.

Tony is captured and held hostage in a cave with Raza (Faran Tahir), a doctor who saves his life. The terrorists force Tony and Raza to reproduce the Jericho missile. Instead, Tony decides to build a suit of armor with Razas help. The suit gives Tony the strength and protection to be able to escape the terrorists.

Back in America, Tony builds a masterpiece of a stunningly flashy suit of armor that's got jet-packs on the feet, rockets in the arms, pulse laser thingies in the hands, and the world's smartest computer in the helmet. With the help of his personal assistant cum lover Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Jim Rhodes cum Enemy (Terrence Howard), Tony vows to protect the world as Iron Man.”

Watch it before it's too late.. a must watch movie, two thumbs up and a five star rating..
