I must confess that I was never very comic. Nothing against it, but, except for the characters created by Mauricio de Souza, did not acquire the habit of reading these stories. As a result, had little knowledge of the superheroes of Marvel and DC to recent film adaptations. This also applies to the Iron Man character on which he knew, if anything, the costume.

For starters, they have an exceptional understanding of who is Tony Stark and his motivations, sifting through all its phases and drawing from it to the relevant plot of origin only what is most interesting and keeping other important moments for the inevitable (and desirable, of course!) continued. The billionaire defense industry is not a hero in the conventional sense of the word - was never (at least when working well). It acts as a hero seeking recognition, satiating the vanity, not altruism, as a Superman. The film hit that point on the fly.

On the other hand, Iron Man loses enough quality in his last thirty minutes. Until then, the film had not submitted any villain itself, preferring to make Stark use his invention to correct their mistakes.

Personal Comment:

As a final result, Iron Man is a good action movie and an interesting first step for the series - and the final sentence of Tony Stark already gives the perfect hook for the sequel. It has its host of problems, but the approach of Jon Favreau and talent and charisma of Robert Downey Jr. easily guarantees the recommendation. And of course, to hear the classic riff of Black Sabbath also does no harm.
