Iron Man, 2008

Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark, an eccentric millionaire inventor who decides to fight the "bad guys" in the body armor he invents. Gwyneth Paltrow plays his assistant, Pepper Potts, the low-self-esteem nerdy assistant who lets down her hair, takes off her glasses and becomes a sex symbol. It isn't hard to notice that the only female characters in this movie are either sex symbols or victims. A good portion of the movie is spent showing Stark working on his inventions or driving his cars. Some cool CGI stuff.

Iron Man (2008)

If you are a comic book fan, you probably already saw the movie twice. But for everyone else, you can probably find a better use of 126 minutes.
Directed by Jon Favreau.
