Great start to a franchise!

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2017)

I would give this a 9.5/10, but unfortunately that's not an option. Robert Downey Jr. is the perfect casting choice for this role. He essentially plays himself. Jeff Bridges is okay in the movie. He was kinda forgettable, but that's a curse a lot of marvel movies have. This is the movie back when I didn't mind Pepper's character. Hmm. Anyway, Gwyneth Paltrow is good. Terrence Howard played Rhody with enthusiasm. This movie is a redemption story for Tony Stark. It was an interesting story that always kept me wanting to watch more. There's some AC/DC music in the movie, and that's great. There's Black Sabbath at the end. The effects were fantastic in the film. The part that I didn't like was that villain twist at the end. Because it wasn't a twist. We all saw it coming that Obadiah Stane was a bad guy. The third act was kind of dumb, but once the fight was brought to the Stark HQ, it got better. Good movie, but not perfect.
