    This is a great start to the MCU, Robert Downey Jr.'s performance is great and the witty dialog he spouts out, makes his entire existence on screen a pleasant experience. The sharp crime drama and terrorist related storyline also adds. This is also sets up the amazing message throughout the entire MCU that secret identities that NOBODY can figure out are passe and outdated. It's defined by the movies ending line of "I am Iron Man". This also gives birth to marvel post-credit scenes truly meaning something and starting up the recruitment process for the Avengers. The only thing I can really knock points off of, is that the third act is a bit less impactful than the first two thirds of the movie due to the uninspired villain fight, but luckily the stakes were high enough to nullify any determent. Still one of the best superhero films out there.

      Editing … This movie is hardly more than a thinly veiled post 9/11 capitalistic, hedonistic power fantasy / propaganda trash that caters to the white, bored, male caucasian middle class. I'd only recommend Marvel's movies to someone who simply doesn't give a fuck about silly concepts like narrative integrity and believeable character development. In case you just want to turn off your brain and have a good time, go for it.

      Editing … On a completely unrelated note: I had fun once and it was awful.

      Editing … It could have been a lot better if the third act wasn't completely undercut by the super boring antagonist.

      Editing … If you're going to accuse a Marvel film of being American propaganda you should probably take aim at #Captain America: The First Avenger. Iron Man's a Robert Downey Jr star vehicle with a really cool gadget, don't read too much into it.

    It may have been overshadowed by that other superhero movie this year, but pound-for-metal-alloy-clad-pound, 'Iron Man' is 2008's most unequivocal cinematic triumph. While 'The Dark Knight' probed the bleaker realms of the superhero psyche, Robert Downey Jr.'s captivating turn as Tony Stark kicked off a stunning career comeback for the once-troubled actor and proved that heroes can be complex and edgy without taking themselves too seriously. Put simply, 'Iron Man' is golden. --
