The one that started it all, the franchise craze and it's great!

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2017)

Iron Man is about wealthy weapons maker Tony Stark. When he gets captured by terrorists, he sees the errors of his ways and he changes his company and creates himself into a superhero: Iron Man. This movie started the MCU and made all the companies want a cinematic universe, all because of this movie. Iron Man is a fun movie that was so good, it started a universe. First of all, the characters, they are great. Robert Downey Jr. is perfect as Tony and his character's arc is very good. All the other characters are great, from Obadiah Stane to Pepper to Rhodes. But the characters aren't the only good thing about this movie. The plot is also really good and the script is really funny and the dialog is amazing. The action is sparse but when it's there it's spectacular. As for the flaws, there are some, like the third act is kind of slow and the final fight is a bit drawn out. Also the Obadiah kind of goes mad for no reason just because the movie needed a villain. But overall, Iron Man is a great start to the MCU and I give it an 8/10
