Hindsight is 20/20

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2019)

It has been over 10 years since Iron Man came out, kickstarting the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is about to come to a conclusion with Spiderman: Far From Home. I wanted to review this movie to see if it holds up.
I'm glad to say that it has.definitely lived up to its reputation, though upon reevaluation, I have dropped my score from a 9/10 to an 8/10. As a standalone movie, it is excellent. It's also quite possibly the best superhero origin story I have ever seen.
While the film has become dated somewhat since its release. The effects are not as great as they are in later films, and there are some glaring issues with the story when taken as part of a larger saga.
As a standalone, however, it's excellent. Robert Downey Junior and Gweneth Paltrow are excellent in their roles, and have excellent chemistry. Terrence Howard also plays Rhodey, and Jeff Bridges oozes evil and charm as Obadiah Stane.
This is not one to miss.
