Both of these movies star Robert Downing Jr. as Iron Man. The first is in our home library, and the second on instant Netflix.
These movies turn my on deep down. There is just something about Iron Man when he has his mask on, and when he lands after turning off his rockets, with that big thud, that is just cool. Actually Tony turned me on to this story, and now that I have watched these movies, I am ready to see The Avengers. The second video does a better job of introducing some of the Avenger characters.
I prefer the second movie, because the bad guy is so much more bad. Jeff Bridges portrays the bad guy in t he first movie, being Tony Stark's business partner, but also trying to kill him. He is able to compromise Tony's design, and make his own suit, but it doesn't work out for him in the end, as he doesn't have the experience.
On the other hand, Mickey Rourke portrays the son of the original designer of the small reactorr, who is seeking revenge for his father. He makes his own suit with powers, and is a worthy opponent. Although defeated early, Stark's busy competitor rescues him, and gives space to work his revenge. He turns on the business partner, and takes control of the robots he made, which wreak havoc attempting to kill Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow is great as the love interest, and Scarlett Johanssen as the lady from the Avengers. Fun ride.
