Dir. Jon Favreau (2008)
Rated PG-13 So, uh.. is this everyone's favorite? Does everyone like Iron Man the most? It just seems like it, because everyone was like "you MUST watch this one first!!" I didn't, oops. And to be honest, this one was probably my least favorite. Sorry!!! It was really boring to me. I don't know why everyone loves Iron Man so much, probably because Robert Downey Jr. is literally just sarcastic the entire time. It's funny, but he didn't really act at all. And Iron Man himself is really not that great of a person. He makes the suit and is super smart, but he is kind of awful to Pepper. He bosses her around and she does everything for him, and she still is totally okay with it and falls for him just because he's funny. He even forgets her birthday! And ditches her on the balcony during that party! And makes her do the super gross thing when she fixes his metal heart or whatever (even though that was kind of nice) but what does she get in return? I don't know, I just don't get it. You can totally tell they're going to be together by the end, but their relationship just seems kinda like a fraud to me. He's also completely selfish. I mean, all of the superheroes are self-centered (because how could they not be?) but at least they kept their identity concealed for the most part. The Hulk actually hates and is embarrassed that he turns into a huge green guy when he's angry. Not Iron Man! He tells the whole world that he is in fact Iron Man and he gets a ton of recognition. I KIND OF understand why, because he made that entire suit two times himself with his own knowledge and skill, when the other superheroes didn't do that much work themselves. He also was held captive in that cave for a really long time and escaped with that suit. Don't get me wrong, I admire him for that. Still, he just doesn't sit well with me. I skipped the second one, because I heard that not much happens (sorry, ok??). I DID like the love interest better in this one, or at least better than I liked Jane from Thor, but Peggy is the best by far. So overall, there's not much else I have to say. I didn't love it, but I'm glad I watched it so I know what's going on for the rest of the movies. It was long and kind of just boring. Probably my least favorite one for now.
