The rebirth of Robert Downey Jr.

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2018)

Iron Man is a great superhero movie and sadly the reason there was an explosion of superhero films back then which never seems to end. As a standalone this is a great film about Tony Stark and his origins. Played superbly by Robert Downey Jr. and ably assisted by Jon Favreau Iron Man seems like a derelict of the past when viewed through the lens of 2018. But this straightforward no nonsense tale about a wisecracking billionaire tech genius will keep you enthralled.
