Picking up on the interest on the Heroes Reborn period, leaving again shortly after the Heroes Return section, Iron Man picks up much of the "less" on finding another superhero to follow who doesn't swingline through the city wearing red and blue webs.
The run up to Onslaught, jumping back with a teen Tony Stark in the suit, well, it never made stick in the first place. That was a start to reading up and were the wane returns later in the aforementioned Heroes Reborn experiment making the pages something to look at.
Comics to movies, here we go again. Only this time, with stock to purchase. Iron Man starring Charlie Chaplin and The Dude.
Robert Downey, Jr. fits well inside the Iron Man suit. With the charisma and stride of Tony Stark, that arrogant, brilliant mind of an industrial arms power-broker. Casual air of non-consequence, leading the visceral charge that the film takes itself on even portions of earnestness and a laid back attitude.
Fantastic special effects no doubt, and plenty to marvel at in terms of watching metal make a man. Design, smooth and svelte, the Iron Man suit is a gorgeous sculpt. Wonderful to watch it play with and not over the rest of the cast. Even the monster bulk of the Mark I has a certain charm plodding about and testing its mettle.
Terrence Howard as Rhodey talks with a higher register than the voice in the head reading him in the comics or watching him on the static cartoon hour. There's something just short of this, and the villainous streak of Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane takes up the slack.
Buffing it up, the sheen is too apparent to miss. Interesting and simply fun to watch.
