This weekend marks the debut of one of the most highly-anticipated films of 2008 Iron Man. Sure, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Batman all have new films set to debut over the summer. But this weekend belongs to Iron Man, and it rocks!
Iron Man features Robert Downey Jr., back in the lime light playing the role of Stark, a media man and money machine in terms of the weapons industry.
Stark goes to the Middle East to show off the company’s latest weapon, but it does not go well. Insurgent fighters capture Stark, who decides to use his own Iron Man battle suit to try and escape. Stark finds himself in the middle of a war zone that his company built.
Iron Man has a hype that few films have had in recent memory, with Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow both returning to the big screen in a big way.
All reviews point to Iron Man being a AAA film which will likely be part of a trilogy over the coming years. With the visual flair, action, and more, Iron Man is poised to absolutely rock the box office this weekend.
