I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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.

Iron Man was the first MCU movie made and it really set the bar for the following instalments. Robert Downey Jr. really shines in his role as Tony. Gwyneth Paltrow and Terence Howard add something special to the film as well. Iron Man is more than an average superhero movie (like most DC movies) and RDJ couldn't be more perfect for the role. Rating: 8.5/10

With a twisted story, fast-paced storytelling, breathtaking visual effects, and winning performances from Robert Downey Jr., this sensational superhero origin still thrills me ten years after the release. It reminds me of James Cameron's Sci-Fi classic "The Terminator". In fact, "Iron Man" was the reason why Marvel Cinematic Universe has been successful for the last ten years, as it set an extremely high bar for the Marvel films after it, though no Marvel films have ever come close to it. Also, this film is the reason why "Iron Man" has become the most popular fictional character originated from comic books, even more popular than iconic figures like Superman, Batman or Spider-man. Robert Downey Jr. should have had won the Best Actor Award for his performance in the film if it were not a blockbuster.
