Robert Downey Jr. in movie form

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2019)

Iron Man marks the start of the MCU and it does so with perfection. This movie deserves all the praise it has been given. The movie has great pacing, funny aspects, and exposes the audience to something they had never seen before. The biggest part of the movie is obviously Robert Downey Jr. He is in his absolute element here: He virtually plays himself. The character is written beautifully and exactly how you would expect Tony Stark to be. Without him this movie would be virtually nothing, but with him it becomes a great origin story to a character we will inevitably come to love even more than we do here.
