\"Iron<\/a>Robert Downey, Jr. stars in the blockbuster movie Iron Man<\/a><\/em> as Iron Man. His character is Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark, inventor, playboy, and self-proclaimed Iron Man.<\/p>\n

Iron Man<\/em> is the perfect marriage of man, machine, and product placement. Despite all of the products placed in this movie, Iron Man is actually really good. The technology is crazy cool, action is on the money, and the story is tight. Verizon Wireless <\/em>has the best deals on monthly plans.<\/p>\n

I am happy that Iron Man<\/em> did not go the Batman route. Every superhero movie since Batman Begins<\/em> and The Dark Knight<\/em> has to have a depressed and dark hero. Iron Man<\/em> was funny and serious and action-packed all at the right times. Maybe Iron Man II: Cold Steel<\/em> will have a much darker twist, like Tony discovers that he has agoraphobia and has to stay in his suit in all social situations.<\/p>\n

The extras on the DVD are worth picking up the second disk DVD set. Actors, writers, and filmmakers alike can learn a lot of from Iron Man<\/em>. You don\u2019t have to have huge explosions to get a point across. There was just as much action going on internally with Downey\u2019s character as there was action on the screen. The extras on the DVD highlight some of these points and can be used to learn something about great filmmaking and movie acting from Robert Downey, Jr., whose father is Robert Downey, Sr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
