Iron Man(2008) Not-Review
Here is the first not-review of my MCU rewatch.
Iron Man(2008)
My ranking
The first Iron Man movie is my #1 in all MCU movies.
My favourite quote
I am Iron Man. -Tony Stark
The most terryfiing moment
When Tony Stark wakes up in a cave and for the first time sees an electromagnet in his chest.
The most exhilarating moment
The first flight in Mark II.
My thoughts during rewatch (they are little all over the place, sorry)
A few words at the end
Iron Man was the very first movie in MCU. Without sucess of this movie we´d have never celebrated the 10th anniversary of MCU. The creators took a risk but I think that they chose the right superhero to start with. Tony Stark is an imperfect man whose only superpower is his intelect. That makes him somewhat believable. It´s easier to believe that genius creates a flighting armour than that you gain superpowers from spider bite.

- I forget how raw and terryfiing this movie could be. Especialy during scenes in Afghanistan.
- I had tears in my eyes when Tony steps out of the plane after his return to States.
- I love the imperfection of Mark I. It really looks like it´s built in a cave.
- I don´t know if it´s just me but Tony before Afghanistan looks way younger than Tony during and after his capture.
- I love Tony´s interaction with Pepper. You could see he is already head over heels in love with her.
- How comes that Tony hasn´t scars on his chest? He had an open-heart surgery in Afghan cave!
- I prefer Don Cheadle´s portrayal of Rhody.
- It´s interesting to compare Tony´s attemps to master flight in his lab for the first time with his mastery of it during his capture in Iron Man 3 where he is perfectly balanced while using just one booth and flight stabilizer.
- How did Tony survive the fall in Mark I?
- RDJ´s acting in this movie is absolutely superb!
- The mask of the Iron Man suit has always the same expression but after Tony destroys the tank in Gulmira he looks ominous.
- I have never before noticed that Tony is wearing MIT´s alumni ring.
