Iron Man

Pros: -Robert Downey Jr. is possibly the best comic-to-screen casting ever -The acting in general was great  -The effects look great to this day  -Most of the characters are fun and likable -A bold risk that paid off exponentially  -One of the few “pre-MCU surge” comic book movies that wasn’t ashamed to be based off a comic book -Avoids the typical origin story problem: once the origin is done, the movie is almost over and you don’t get a lot of time with the title character suiting up -a lot of “hell yeah” moments -Phil Coulson  -Samuel L. Jackson  •THE best comic-to-screen casting Cons: -The villain sucked major donkey doo doo  •No shame to Jeff Bridges  •This started a cliche that the MCU still faces to this day Overall Iron Man: Is pretty awesome sauce for a first entry in a franchise
