Iron Man is the classic superhero movie bringing the rich billionaire to life with the help of Robert Downey Jr. The perfect candidate for Stark. The movie plays perfectly with the classic bad guy wanting to usurp the hero and Jeff Bridges makes a fantastic bad guy too. My only problem with the film was that it was mildly inopropriate with all the women Tony was bedding, but I suppose it was part of his character. So other than that I lived it and can't wait for the sequel.

All round a great movie, the casting was fantastic and the cast had some good chemistry on screen, as if they had been these characters for a long time. At this point I've seen some good movies but this still holds up as one of the best

Great movie that really launched the Marvel series. A must-see!

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!
