I forgot how great the first MCU film was as part of the grand story and as an origin story. I can clearly understand why Robert Downey Jr's portrayal as Tony Stark has become iconic since he carries most of the movie. The plot of the film seems to be the only one in the MCU that connects to a real world issue which I can respect of this debut film in a massive sci-fi franchise (not saying that the other films don't connect to real world issues it's just that this film doesn't present the issue in an allegorical way). The villian being the opposite of the protagonist is obviously cliche and overdone, but it was done competently in this film being the first of the franchise. Even though it has its faults and is quite outdated, I am glad I rewatched it.
