The beginning of something great

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2018)

The first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was such a fantastic beginning.
Here we have a B-list superhero, being played by a B-list actor who transforms the character into a A-list superhero making Robert Downey Jr. now a A-list actor. It's actually quite amazing.
The best part about this film, is the fact that it is a standalone superhero film, while also being the beginning of a cultural icon. We didn't know that the MCU was gonna be a thing, but it didn't matter anyways, because this film was still great on its on.
The only thing that I didn't care for was the villain. Obadiah Stone as the Iron Monger was just a jealous man, in a bigger suit than Iron Man's, that ends up losing. It wasn't anything special and it's the biggest thing that most people will criticize Marvel for in their Phase 1 of movies.
However, "Iron Man" did so many great things, that it's only flaw really doesn't matter that much.
If you love Superheros and haven't seen "Iron Man," I don't know what you're waiting for. Additionally, if you love movies and haven't seen "Iron Man," there's still something great for you here.
