As an action fan, I knew it was very unlikely that I would dislike this movie, and I was right :) There were several parts that I would've been MUCH more pleased with it if they had left out, (eg. making the main character be quite the womanizer...) and there was some language, but other than that it was REALLY good! The action was realistic yet not gratuitously gory, and the storyline was impressive. There were a few parts of the movie that were almost overdone, where the first reaction was to say "that's SO impossible!" but hey, it was still pretty cool. Mr. Stark is a high-tech weapon designer, but he gets captured by terrorists wanting to force him to build them high-tech weapons. However, he goes under their noses and builds a special suit for himself, using a special arc-reactor that kept his heart beating since it had been damaged when he was captured, he built a powered suit that was bulletproof, and gave him lots of strength. However, after he got away the suit malfunctioned and pretty much got destroyed. After that though, Mr. Stark realized that the enemy could capture his technology, and he decided to temporarily shut down weapons manufacture, and secretly build himself a much better suit in the basement of his huge, high-tech house in California. Soon, he got involved in some major anti-terrorist battles, and ended up fighting people he had thought were his best friends.
The movie was not particularly child-friendly because of the language, and some violence, but for teens and up it was great! Probably one of my favorite action movies I've seen so far. It is more of a "guy thing" movie though, so girls may get bored by it. However, I loved it, and suggest you try it out, if you're a fan of superhero stuff, or action movies, you will like this a lot.
Because of the language, sexual content, and mild violence, I can't approve this as a full 10 point, family-friendly movie, but it gets 9 points.
