Don't let the flood of great reviews fool you, this might as well be a coaster!

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2017)

Positives: the suit looked great! He flies once or twice. He fires once or twice!
Cons: 1. The origin of Iron Man should have been adapted more to movies rather than keeping the same comics version. Sometimes, it's great to stick with the origin. This is not one of them. Mainstream audiences knew nothing about it and it's very bad; that's when you do away with an origin. Tony Stark is supposed to be an electrical-mechanical genius, not a medical one. He'd have to be a medical genius as well to pull off what he accomplished. Parts of the suit keep him alive and that's medical and knowing how to merge the 3 technologies almost perfectly is what he'd have to know how to do! In my opinion, they should have allowed Stark to be shot close to his heart or have an explosion where shrapnel gets into his heart maybe 20-30 years later than the 2008 date where medical science has made monumental leaps forward. They put an electronic/mechanic device in his heart that is typical with his injury. Then, he builds upon that to create Iron Man. 2. The things he whipped up in the movie where just plain silly! Iron Man's metal inorganic suit is supposed to act like Spiderman's symbiote(a living organism or entity)! That's why I never liked Transformers at all! Metal does things that no inorganic thing can and you certainly can't do it mentally as Stark was able to. 3. Iron Man does very little as a superhero. A flying scene(or possibly 2) and a blast scene(possibly 2). He does lift a heavy car. 4. The villain was super awful and the fight was worse. 5. The plot was boring! The acting was bad, too!
I honestly don't know what can make you give this garbage even a 5! I used to read Iron Man when I was younger and liked it then. I bought this movie, but trashed it! That bad!
