"When Jim Stark, billionaire, genius and top dog of the war industry, is kidnapped by terrorists who want him to build a missile, he builds an armoured suit to help him escape. The experience convinces him to stop supporting war terror and start fighting it. This action blockbuster, first to be entirely financed by Marvel studios, is not only admirable for its special effects, but also because of clear distinguishing factors like wit and humour tied in with a pacifist message for the future that feels rarely genuine in a comic book hero films."
