A successful marriage of realism, drama, action and fantasy - Iron Man is ascends to the top of this list. Wonderfully scripted and flawlessly acted Iron man takes viewer through the carefree life of Tony Stark. He has the inheritance, brains, good looks and availability that makes him irresistible except to one woman, Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow). His world is shaken when he finds himself fighting for survival in an isolated desert surrounded by the weapons he created to destroy. A life defining moment creates an Epiphany about his role in the sales of mass arms. Iron man sets to out to level the playing Field but not without a fight.
A must see film. Certainly a first that I hope will persuade younger audiences on involving themselves with science, engineering and math.
