Superb ground break for the Marvel Universe

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2019)

Marvel got it oh, so, ever right when they cast Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. His character set the tone for all the wit and humour that is now the colour of the Marvel Universe. Gwyneth Paltrow plays his perfect match. Superb in every sense - tone, performances, action, CGI, tension in the plot and the establishment of the Avenger/ S.H.I.E.L.D relationship. Even in this second viewing, 11 years after its release, it hasn't lost a beat. I give this film a 9 (superb) out of 10. {Superhero Action Adventure}
