This is the origin of Iron Man, the playboy billionaire turned superhero. I really do enjoy origin stories, but even though I enjoy it, and I love watching RDJ on screen, Iron Man is not on my list of favorites. But it is a good watch and it is part of the MCU and that’s what makes it worth watching. You have to know where Tony starts in order to see his evolution, and this is his beginnings.
It’s too bad we have to blow him up first in order to get him put back together.
It’s not very easy to identify the villain of this movie, but they do a great job of dropping little hints and nuggets until the movie just flat out shoves it in your face.
This is a weapons race. A race to see who has the biggest stick in the end, and well, as this is an older movie we all know who ends winning the arms race this time.
