"Aaaaw!! Its good to be back!! "exclaims Robert Downey Jr as he flags off this movie even as Hollywood is searching for an excuse for not providing some good summer entertainment. Jon Favreau finally seems to have found that and he manages to bring back Marvel's ambassador Iron man back to the big screen.

The movie does guarantee a decent package. Special effects, dialogues, a super-villain and a huge budget!! But the plot suffers due to lack anything new in it and of course the screenplay lacks the enigma.All said and done, most of it would not have come half as good as it seems, if it was not for the casting... and simply nothing would be same if it was not for Robert downey coming back again to play the titular character!!

The man has everything for the movie and that in turn proves to be something for everyone. Every movie goer. His overflowing energy and constant, eccentric childishness keeps you wanting to like a lot more than ever.

Tony Stark(Robert downey) is the middle of all controversies ever since he revealed that he is iron man. He is further dealt with physical and psychological blows after he finds out that the Arc reactor that keeps him alive is poisoning his blood and he has very little time left. Beyond all this he is targeted by a deranged Russian scientist's son(Mickey Rourke) who wants to exact revenge on the Iron man for reasons no one knows. In all chaos and confusion It is his personal companion pepper potts(Gyneth Paltrow) and his trusted friend Rhodes(Don cheadle) who help him through.

In the middle of all this enter the sexy Natalie(a very hot Scarlett Johansson) as Pepper's second in command and one Mr.Justin Hammer(Sam Rockwell) a self-styled arms genius. And.. you have your bag full. :-)

The Iron man crosses each hurdle-one at a time and finally ends it as it should. The cast have blended well with the movie and provide a good show with a lot of light moments and less violence. the director keeps running them around the movie so that you don't tired. The stunt scenes have been choreographed keeping in mind audiences of all age groups, and though it takes off the bite in the scenes, a menacing Mickey Rourke as Whiplash makes up for it. The race track sequence is a good proof for the importance that hollywood gives its bad guys. However Samuel Jackson has been royally wasted. The special effects are quite good and as expected, Hollywood always stays one step ahead in that area.

So, Now we have the coolest playboy-styled super hero with a heart of gold dealing with his demons inside as well as outside and a proper super villain as well as an industrial Rival trying to get ahead of him. Not bad I'd say. Though the movie has nothing really special or new, watch it for the entertainment quotient. This pop-corn muncher should end your summer movie hunt.

3/5
