The start of a new era.

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2020)

You can say what you want about Iron Man but you'll have to agree that this marvel film was the turn of the century for the superhero genre. Aesthetically speaking the portrayal of Tony Stark by RDJ is something that should be noticed by people who are influencers or those in power to an extent, e.g. he has arrogance which is expected by people in power but he shows sympathy when it's needed unlike some people. This is just one of the reasons why he is a popular character, its just not that obvious to spot. The film also sparked CGI and SFX unlike the prior superhero movies, even if superhero movies before Iron Man had good CGI it was overruled by terrible scripts and boring plots. Overall, the reason why the film was so admirable, was because the benefits that reaped from it, which includes a new age and platform for the superhero genre, which is now probably the most prevalent movie genres today.
