Get ready for Tony Starks to hit the big stage in a few months, May 2nd. It looks to be a pretty good movie with the Robert Downey Junior as Ironman (Tony Starks), Terrance Howard as Lt. Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes (War Machine from the comics), and they even have my Sam Jackson playing Nick Furry. The comic book “experts” out there will probably have a problem with Samuel L. playing Nick Furry because in the comics he is white and you probably have noticed Sam isn’t.

Plot (from Wikipedia):

Weapons designer Tony Stark is in Afghanistan to introduce his new missile design to the Air Force until the unit he is traveling with is attacked and Stark is taken hostage. Injured by shrapnel embedded near his heart, his captors order him to assemble a missile for them, giving him access to a workshop. He puts his creativity to use by assembling a bulletproof set of power armor, complete with pacemaker and flamethrowers, and uses it to free himself. Back at home, he becomes Iron Man, developing a flying suit with the red and gold scheme and advanced weapon capabilities. Stark faces the Iron Monger.
