One of the greatest Marvel films to date. Downey is absolutely awesome in the role, and carries this and the sequels, despite the poor sequels to follow up this awesome movie.

This movie successfully kicked off the MCU. It's a charming, humorous, action-packed From the beginning, Robert Downey Jr. was perfect for the Iron Man/Tony Stark role. One of my favorite superhero origin films.

Solid acting, great action sequences and overall a pretty great origin story, the villain is underwhelming though

A great showcase for the talents of Downey Jnr that only lets itself down due to it's less than impressive final act. It's still extremely fun though.

Rewrites the usual stories of people losing someone and then deciding to become a superhero. This time Tony Stark loses his complete integrity. A great performance from Robert Downey Jr captivates the film.

One of the good MCU movies. Manages to be thoroughly entertaining, with very few boring moments.

The first superhero movie imo that created and paved its way to good and entertaining character building and not that cheesy bull **** Iron Man started it all and RDJ is Tony Stark

This is one of the best superhero origin movies. The story is surprisingly very grounded in reality, with high-octane action sequences, allowing even non-comics fans to appreciate.

Robert Downey really embodies Tony Stark. Spectacular, funny, refreshing, and excellently crafted!

This is how you do a character justice. It's honestly mind blowing that this and that awful Incredible Hulk movie are in the same universe.

Even ten years later Iron Man still stands as one of the best films in the MCU.

Great film made even better by the arc Tony takes through the whole MCU. The villain is the only down point

The Incredible Hulk isn't very Incredible.
Edward Norton gives a good performance but the concept of Hulk itself just seems tired. There is no new outlook on the hero just simply a repeatedly mediocre take on a very one dimensiona

La película de presentación de superhéroes por excelencia con un Robert Downey Jr. descomunal.

A great movie with an interesting main character and good side characters that gets dragged down by its underwhelming villain and thematically and emotionally barren 3rd act that sacrifices its intrigue for an average action sequence.

The birth of the MCU. A fascinating character against a cliché villain. Nostalgic feels could have increased my rating.

This is not the best Ironman movie in my opinion. But it is a great origin story.

Good movie. I'll admit that I don't really like superhero action movies, but there were some thrilling scenes (like RDJ taking his Iron Man outfit out for a test drive). All the male actors are great. Paltrow is "meh."

An entertaining film that feels too much like all the other superhero movies before it. Fairly funny, good acting, and cool effects throughout make this a fun night at the movies.

Do the words secret identity mean anything in this movie? It was pretty good but could have been much better if they had taken the time to tell us how Tony Stark became a hapless playboy. At least with Bruce Wayne we knew his was a facade.

Robert Downey Jr. was great, but I found everyone else irritating. A solid enough action movie, but it seemed a bit over-hyped for me.

Plenty of funny lines almost made this a comedy. Robert Downy Jr's delivery of these lines is totally spot on. The plot is cartoonish, as you would expect, but not so much that it ruins the experience.

Needed more action scenes, but altogether a sound movie. The trailers really gave up too much of what the movie was about. By the way, stay after the movie credits are over, there's more secret footage.

Not what I expected. Some very very obvious product placement and not enough storyline but a decent film overall.

One of the best action films I've ever seen. Excellent acting and a gripping story with a well done script. I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies though and it didn't quite feel like a classic.

Is anyone else out there getting sick of good actors taking paydays by getting dressed up in superhero costumes? Are we really facing a generation that has the maturity level of a 12 year old boy? In any case, I thought the movie was entertaining.

A pretty good movie, with some obvious product placement, and some unrealistic CGI. What I cannot see though, is how IMDB managed to place Ironman in its top 250 movies of all time.

It was ok - I expected more. The whole cave scene was silly - of all the things he could of done - why build a suit? The ending was boring and confusing. The film was entertaining but shallow in development and had some big holes in it.

The action and humor is amazingly strong and unnecessary to prove the movie that its worth more than the others; in the end, "Iron Man" is just a decent summer blockbuster.

One of the better Marvel films with good acting and great villain, Iron Man is awesome though Stark is less likeable.

I think Iron Man is the gatekeeper for comic book films. It's good, not great, but it established a bar that modern comic book films have to match. It's a solid movie but people do tend to overrate it.

Iron Man is the real deal.
With great action sequences, Iron Man is not only entertaining, but also intriguing. A deep look into an unpopular hero with wonderful character development and a decent plot.

iron man is a decent film and has decent action scenes but it is not the best film as some scenes can be boring , still a decent marvel film for comic book lovers .

A fresh start for what later become an bloated cinematic universe, but doesn't take anything away from the movie instead it add something more to it that the later entry in the franchise is missing.

Solid origin story to kickstart the mcu. Everything in the first half of the movie is incredible. Unfortunately, a bad villain and mediocre final battle keeps it from being at the top of the mcu.

The first third of the movie is so bad: so much arrogance, US propaganda and unrealistic. Later on it gets better, because the things mentioned above are reduced drastically and the nice action and visual effects take over.

I just like some of super-heroes movies because of this. This is to boring to be a super-hero. I don't even watch the 2nd and 3rd movie, and I don't wanna. Just for the visual effects I give it a 6

This movie was very enjoyable. It had great character development, and glorious performance by Robert Downey, but is held back by a poor villain, and it jumping back and forth to take care of loose strings.
