Iron Man

Zach Closs

The best of the Marvel movies; maybe the only good one. Downey Jr. is terrific in the lead, and the film is patient enough to give him time to develop and shine.

I actually only saw this for the first time recently, but it cements my feeling that of the films in the Avengers series that I have seen (Iron Man, Capt. Am., Thor) are well done for what they are, but far from great. A solid 3/5, but not quite as good as Captain American for me.

Boring and all-around shitty climax. Very funny and fun for the most part. The line about the cheeseburger was my favorite.

It's accurate to the character of Iron Man but as a comic book film, it's quite average due to Jon Favreau's direction and the main villain is relatively weak.

Could someone explain to me why this film is repeatedly described as one of "the best superhero films" ever? I mean it´s not that bad but...come on...really?

Robert Downey jr. is perfectly cast as playboy entertainer and inventor Tony Stark turned into superhero Iron Man. Phenomenal flying effects. Hilariously funny at times. Great commentary on the weapon industry. Jeff Bridges actually make a good villain.

Excellent film! Un des rares films de superhéros qui obtient la note de passage! Jouant une espèce de copie d'un Elon Musk téméraire et encore plus excentrique, Robert Downey est vraiment PARFAIT! Histoire simple, mais quand même intéressante, trouvant le moyen de critiquer le patriotisme et l'industrie de l'armement des USA (ah oui, vos armes se retrouvent dans les mains des Talibans?). Un film super fun.

RDJ brings real verve to his portrayal, the supporting cast are excellent and the setup is contemporary and clever. Favreau keeps things moving nicely and the entire piece balances well the tension between comedy, drama and thrills. Starts the Marvel party with a real bang, let down only slightly by the rather underwhelming metal man clash finale.
