This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Iron Man works because of two reasons- The storyline flows smoothly, and the powerhouse performance of Robert Downey Jr. as the titular Iron Man/ Tony Stark. The charisma of Downey Jr. coupled with a great emphasis on character development makes Iron Man one of the best Superhero avatars of all time. The non-suited human element of a superhero film should be interesting in someway be it his sorrow or travails or in his embodiment of a larger than life, cool figure, and this is a fact many films do not foresee, or even realize. Jon Favreau has crafted a great movie and Robert Downey Jr. is so good you cannot picture anyone else play him. The film is fun in a charming way and the action pieces are embedded to flow the story, and not as a stopover for special effect show-off. The side parts are played well by everyone involved from Gwyneth Paltrow to Terrence Howard. Its been ten years since Iron Man was released and so much has happened both in his journey and the ascent of superhero movies but the first film remains a pinnacle.
This movie shows the hate terrorists have for us and what President Donald J Trump, Andrew Scheer and Premier Ford have to do. But the purity of The United States of America forces is shown as diluted. Sad, very sad. terrorists have strapped on hateful bombs and are after us and only our might will stop them. MAGA
Love this movie, probably my favourite of all the MCU movies, perhaps not the best, I think that goes to winter soldier but this movie holds a special place in our hearts as it started the MCU and RDJ is iconic. I think the cgi and suit of iron man is actually much better than what it looks now in 2018 (IW), 10 years later!!!! If you're wondering where to start in the MCU, there is no better place
This movie takes almost all of the themes and major elements present in the original origin for Iron Man in the sixties and updates them for modern audiences without losing any of the appeal or meaning! Robert Downey is just perfect as Iron Man/Tony Stark, and after playing this character for more than ten years now, it seems he indeed was the perfect casting since, him and the character have basically become synonymous! The supporting cast does also a great job and some have played their respective characters for that same long period. The movie flows very naturally and has a great pace to it. Action is fast and furious and supported by a thundering soundtrack! It's funny and serious in all the right places and does not suffer from any tonal shifts. It's hard to believe that this was Marvel Studios' first movie!
