StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

daviesana Iron Man works because of two reasons- The storyline flows smoothly, and the powerhouse performance of Robert Downey Jr. as the titular Iron Man/ Tony Stark. The charisma of Downey Jr. coupled with a great emphasis on character development makes Iron Man one of the best Superhero avatars of all time. The non-suited human element of a superhero film should be interesting in someway be it his sorrow or travails or in his embodiment of a larger than life, cool figure, and this is a fact many films do not foresee, or even realize. Jon Favreau has crafted a great movie and Robert Downey Jr. is so good you cannot picture anyone else play him. The film is fun in a charming way and the action pieces are embedded to flow the story, and not as a stopover for special effect show-off. The side parts are played well by everyone involved from Gwyneth Paltrow to Terrence Howard. Its been ten years since Iron Man was released and so much has happened both in his journey and the ascent of superhero movies but the first film remains a pinnacle.

lawrencestevens-58369 Love this movie, probably my favourite of all the MCU movies, perhaps not the best, I think that goes to winter soldier but this movie holds a special place in our hearts as it started the MCU and RDJ is iconic. I think the cgi and suit of iron man is actually much better than what it looks now in 2018 (IW), 10 years later!!!! If you're wondering where to start in the MCU, there is no better place

celestialbaby23 When I first saw this movie, I was speechless! I could not believe how amazing it was! Robert Downey Jr really found his purpose as an actor (my opinion) when he got the role of Iron Man. It's like he was made to play it and Iron Man was created for him to play it! Hope that makes sense. Wonderful cast, awesome storyline and AMAZING ACTION! Not to mention the humor!

Smoreni Zmaj Tony Stark was like - if Bruce Wayne can do it, I can do it too. And inspired by Robocop and Transformers he did it, and he did it better. In my opinion, Iron Man is not a superhero. He has no super-powers, but only huge amounts of money put into weapon development and high education in technology. His personality is more of an anti-hero rather than super-hero. But it doesn't make him any less interesting. On the contrary, this is one of my favorite Marvel films. Action SF thriller with excellent pace and well-measured balance of action, drama and humor, which will hold your attention from the beginning to the end, without oscillation in quality. The story is nicely developed, with well-written dialogues and witty remarks, great acting, and fantastic effects. Robert Downey Jr. gave a good performance as the Iron Man, perfect as Tony Stark, he has good chemistry with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges don't even need to be commented on, and it is unfortunate that his character isn't better developed. And after the great movie, end credits are followed by the song of the same name, by legendary Black Sabbath. Delight :D8/10
