Just went to see Iron Man the movie at the local cinema with my wife and baby Maeve – and we really enjoyed it. Iron man has always been my favourite super-hero. Unlike spiderman, the fantastic four, or the Hulk, Tony Stark has no “super powers” granted by genetics or some experimental accident; Tony Stark only becomes a Super-Hero when he don’s the armoured suit an becomes Iron-Man; An Armoured suit I may hasten to add that is the product of his genius and whose design evolves over time.

One thing I like about Iron Man is the thought (however improbable) that “I could be Iron Man” – if I was a genius and a multi-billionaire that is. Tony Stark in comic history was revolutionary in its time in showing the “downside” or human nature of hero’s – for example Tony Stark is an Alcoholic, an affliction shared by many millions of people on earth.

I won’t spoil your enjoyment of the movie except we thoroughly enjoyed it, and I will be going to see it again next monday. One thing to mention though, if you go to the movie please stay to after the credits since there is another scene.
