RDJ saved more than lives

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2020)

This movie had a lot to prove. With a bad run of superhero movies, Marvel had to pull something out of the bag. And they did with Iron Man. This movie is great, there is absolutely no doubt about that. Marvel would simply not be where it is without Iron Man.
The story is engaging and creative. Characters have been well developed and there are moments of genuine humour. However, for an action movie, I would like some more action. There are large sections of the film completely devoid of action.
Robert Downey Jr. is a great choice for a movie like this. However, some of the acting in Iron Man is a little hit and miss. Some lines just felt unnatural and over expositional and the delivery of the dialogue felt stilted. To be clear, this was just in select scenes.
This is a strong start to the MCU and I am excited to continue.
