Iron Man 1 is ultimately a decent movie containing a really great performance. Thinking about it only lessens the movie (spoils)

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Sep 11 '14, 09:14

Jeff Bridges villain is really not a strong villain; he wants power, he manages to make the same basic suit as Tony and that's the actual villainous arc.

This movie actually puts that same scenario on the table as the B-side villain (with the Winter Soldier). The A-side villain is the entire splintered SHIELD/HYDRA and the bigger question of what is freedom and security?

Both Iron Man and Avengers could be more entertaining than Cap 2, but as a meaningful movie, Cap 2 is leaps ahead, imo.

Cap 2 spoils inside in case anyone hasn't seen it. -- nm - Shaun Sep 11, 09:25
Best movie of that year. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:15 8
- Iron Man? or Avengers? - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:16 7
  - Iron Man. It's a masterpiece of character development. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:17 6
    - It's not even the best comic movie of the summer of 2008. Dark Knight is far ahead of it. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:20 5
      - Part of the strength of Iron Man is the journey of it. - Spawn Sep 11, 09:25 1
        
        Oh, I get the character, and I get Downey is brilliant... - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:28
      - The Dark Knight's third act is a mess. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:23 2
        
        I agree with David on this one. Best movie of 2008. TDK is wildly overrated IMO as a whole. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 09:25
        
        The Dark Knight Returns third act is a mess....TDK is brilliant still. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:24
