This is a great movie. It has great acting. It also has great story line. It is very fast past. It has a lot action. It has great special effects. Iron man 2 is better. The Avengers is also better. But still this a great movie.

When I first saw this movie, I was speechless! I could not believe how amazing it was! Robert Downey Jr really found his purpose as an actor (my opinion) when he got the role of Iron Man. It's like he was made to play it and Iron Man was created for him to play it! Hope that makes sense. Wonderful cast, awesome storyline and AMAZING ACTION! Not to mention the humor!

For whatever reason I remembered really disliking Iron Man but just re watched it because I'm trying to get caught up on the MCU. This was not a great movie to me and it's kinda surprising this basically launched the biggest franchise in the world. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad movie but nothing ground breaking to me. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) creates the best weapons in the world and doesn't care who it hurts. That is until he's kidnapped and made to create weapons for "the bad guys" in Afghanistan. Then he basically reforms his ways and decides not to make weapons for evil anymore. He's betrayed by someone in his company twice and has to defeat him even though the guy used his own technology and made his own suit. He had help from his assistant Pepper and was able to get it done. Just kinda generic to me and I think a lot of why people liked it is Robert Downey Juniors charm but I think he's been better in other stuff.

Iron Man was the first MCU movie made and it really set the bar for the following instalments. Robert Downey Jr. really shines in his role as Tony. Gwyneth Paltrow and Terence Howard add something special to the film as well. Iron Man is more than an average superhero movie (like most DC movies) and RDJ couldn't be more perfect for the role. Rating: 8.5/10
