I AM IRON MAN

    Tony Stark is the perfect hero to exist in today's internet age.  In a world where virtually everyone is connected to tech and computers it would seem he was taylored to fit today's society. Tony Stark is a man with a huge ego dependent on his machines to make sense of the chaotic world. Has he lost his humanity? This is explored in Iron Man 3. What exactly is Tony the man capable of? What does the man that has everything truly value?
      On his journery he encounters some who have discarded their humanity in the name of profit and power. Their worlds collide and destruction and carnage follow. Along the way he encounters deception and misdirection trying to foil his mission to stop evil once again. Tony Starks seems a different man since all of the extraordinary happenings around the globe that has occured after he first put on the suit. This go around captures Mr. Stark dealing with that in this excellent comic book movie adventure.
     I was very satisfied with the movie. Well done. A nice balance of action and meaningful dialogue that explores what I stated above. So if you hated it because its variance from the books you should look at the movie universe with its own cannon and history. The books are the inspiration, not a to-be-followed exactly blueprint.
