Never Gets Old!

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2020)

I'm writing this review twelve years late but my feelings remain the same. I remember watching this movie when it was released and saying "That is so cool". I still stand by my words.
This movie is so much more than just your usual superhero flick with a box office collection of more than five hundred million dollars. For one, it is the base for the Avengers film series and subsequent intersecting characters and story lines , which would eventually be called the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the MCU. Not to forget Iron Man gave Robert Downey Jr a new chance to prove that he's one of the most talented actors out there. Kudos to director Jon Favreau for brilliant casting and depicting the origin story of probably the coolest superhero.
Talking about the movie itself, Robert Downey Jr does a fantastic job portraying a genius billionaire turned self made superhero. Iron Man is proof that you don't need to have to go through an extra terrestrial or supernatural or magical event to gain superpowers. But if you're smart and hardworking and (being a little rich wouldn't hurt), you could develop a bullet proof armored suit that can fly ,shoot energy beams and missiles. Not bad for a human, huh? With the perfect amount of humor, high flying action, and a conventional yet interesting story line, Iron Man is an ageless film and if you've watched the Infinity Saga, watching this again will definitely be a different feeling!
