The number one movie right now is Iron Man ~ I was thinking I might go see it but I like to preview the story before deciding if it will be of interest to me - not just based on the fact it is number one ~ What I have heard about the story line does intrigue me ~

I know that the character of Iron Man comes from the comic book character - although I have read the movie brings his character to life in a more realistic light and apparently slightly changes the story line from the original comic book version ~

Iron Man is a rich philanthropist named Tony Stark ..He is also a brilliant inventor and invents an indestructible iron man suit to fight evil forces ~

But the part of the movie plot that intrigued me was he once used his intelligence to create weapons of destruction for worldly war games ...but finds the strength to break away from the destructive war powers and turns against the evil war conspiracies, with the aid of his iron man suit of armor, fighting against the dark forces that conspire to rule the world ~

Here is a synopsis of the movie from Moviefone -

"From Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures comes Iron Man, an action-packed take on the tale of wealthy philanthropist Tony Stark, who develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil. In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When Stark is kidnapped and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free, Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and save the world. Jon Favreau directs."
