If there was one superhero movie that fans will say revolutionized the genre, it'd be 2008's "Iron Man"- the movie that gave birth to the idea of a shared universe for multiple comic franchises... The MCU itself.
Billionaire Tony Stark is young, cocky, and arrogant- earning billions off the weapons he designs. But a chilling encounter with a terrorist group being supplied with weapons his company makes leads him to become more than he was... to become... "Iron Man"...
This is a great origin story- not just for Iron Man, but for the MCU. It's in keeping with the style you'd find in comics throughout the ages, while being fresh and invigorating. A nice solid cornerstone on which to build the juggernaut that would become the MCU.
I really enjoyed the characters. Tony, Happy, Pepper, Rhodey are engaging and entertaining. They have the comic book style of humor, while also containing depth and complexity. Unfortunately, the villain- in the form of Obadiah was a little flat, one note, and weak. He just wasn't as interesting or compelling as the others.
Super kudos to the performers. They really brought life and energy to their roles. Robert Downey, Jr. is simply amazing- bringing, wit, charm, and a subtle insecurity to the arrogant Tony. Terrence Howard was good, but his more dramatic style felt a little off in regards to the rest of the movie's tone and style. I also really enjoyed Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper. She played off against Downey's Tony beautifully. Jeff Bridges is always great to watch, but sadly, the character of Obadiah just didn't seem to give him much to work with. Finally, I liked Jon Favreau as Happy.
The visual style of this movie is great as well. Great colour palettes used, great visual effects- especially on the moving parts of the armour. There are some moments where you can sort of tell that the CGI didn't line up perfectly, but those were brief and few.
By the end of it, "Iron Man" was a worthy start to the Marvel Cinematic Universe- and gets a "Good" from me.
