Better than I remembered

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2018)

For whatever reason I remembered really disliking Iron Man but just re watched it because I'm trying to get caught up on the MCU. This was not a great movie to me and it's kinda surprising this basically launched the biggest franchise in the world. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad movie but nothing ground breaking to me. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) creates the best weapons in the world and doesn't care who it hurts. That is until he's kidnapped and made to create weapons for "the bad guys" in Afghanistan. Then he basically reforms his ways and decides not to make weapons for evil anymore. He's betrayed by someone in his company twice and has to defeat him even though the guy used his own technology and made his own suit. He had help from his assistant Pepper and was able to get it done. Just kinda generic to me and I think a lot of why people liked it is Robert Downey Juniors charm but I think he's been better in other stuff.
