Iron Man 1 film review

Iron man 1 released back in 2008 and it was the start of the marvel universe we know today. The plot revolves around billionaire tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) having to build a suit to try and stop all the terrorism that has happened due to his work being stolen. Robert Downey Jr was a risky choice to play the part of Tony due to the previous things he has played but now, you couldn’t think of anyone better at the roll of him. I would say that this plot is easy to follow but if you looked away from the screen for a couple minuets, you might miss something, and it would make it a tiny bit hard to follow along.

From the film, I expected high amounts of action. Whilst the film did bring, I would say that it could use a bit more. but I guess this was kept to a minimal because he only brought out his suits when needed.

I would say I really enjoyed this film. I liked the roll Robert Downey Jr played. I thought he was the perfect choice for Tony Stark. He brought the comedy and the attitude that the character has. Even Robert said himself that if it wasn’t for this film, he would be done for.

My favorite scene from the film is where he was able to make his first suit in a cave, he was trapped in for 3 months. This scene was my favorite because it was it was really awesome to see how he was able to make a fully armored suit in a cave with very limited equipment. It also showed the fully geniuses in tony Stark.

I would recommend this film to anyone who would want to get into the Marvel cinematic universe. Mainly because it was the first film that started off the story that EndGame has recently finished/ended.
