Iron Man. If you haven't seen this, here a quick plot synopsis that shouldn't ruin it for you:
Self-absorbed playboy Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), is an engineering genius. He can build almost anything he can imagine. His technology company, Stark Enterprises, builds weapons capable of previously unimaginable destruction. But a turn of events forces him to reassess his life’s work and lifestyle, after which he wants only to protect the people his company has put in harm’s way. His quest, however, proves very complicated. Available this September on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
Many of my friends saw this movie. Most liked it. While I found a few things about it disappointing, I will just mention something that stood out to me. Tony Stark, through his talent, nearly unlimited resources, and engineer prowess, is able to dole out justice, nearly on demand, with impunity. As he stepped in and saved innocent lives, I felt a rush. "Man, it's a good thing I can't do that," I thought. But it made me think about justice in this world. The truth is, I wish I had one of those suits. Maybe next time baby.
Were you left with any thought after this movie?

I loved the movie, one of those that caught me by surprise, since I am not a big fan of superhero movies. I think the thing that stuck with me is the idea that anyone can change, even those who don't seem to have any desire to. When God changes our hearts, it's an amazing thing, because we aren't TRYING to change, He does it. Then the peace comes that doesn't come any other way. It's not that your circumstance changes, you just have peace in the middle of whatever. That's my favorite.
