Many people go into a comic book movie with a great deal of trepidation and Iron Man was no exception, could this classic comic book character be tarnished by an adaptation to the big screen? The involvement of Robert Downey Jnr was also a concern, but all those worries were laid to rest as the movie began. Stunning visual effects were evident, but did not distract away of what was an engaging story of the origins of Iron Man. This proved to revitalise Downey’s career as he soared with his charismatic performance as Tony Stark and Gwenth Paltro surprised as her portrayal as the vulnerable Pepper Potts and they both showed terrific chemistry together as their relationship develops. Jon Favreau successfully adapted this film to the big screen creating dynamic layered characters and a sense of adrenalin as the story explores Tony Stark’s transformation into Iron Man as he is betrayed by Obadiah Stane played by Jeff Bridges. Humor is also injected into the film providing comic relief adding to the movie’s sense of fun. The film’s wide appeal has given people unfamiliar with Iron Man a chance to discover and enjoy this comic book icon and giving dedicated fans the satisfaction that Iron Man has been successfully conveyed to the big screen.
