The only MCU movie worth watching.
This one was actually smart and the humour suited it.
shareAll the MCU movies are worth watching.
shareIt's a lot better than a lot of the others. After Iron Man's popularity, I feel like they just started copying the Iron Man formula of action + quips and that's the very short version of how we got to the MCU we know and accept as inevitable boredom today.
I don't think it's the only one worth watching, though. I like The Avengers and, to a lesser extent, Age of Ultron. I've heard good things about the new Spider-man films.
One of the better ones, but they're all pretty good.
"Iron Man" stood out as being scripted and directed and acted like a serious movie. They didn't go straight to the action and the costumes and capes. It was a real origin story, like Batman Begins (another of my favorites.)
IT IS ONE OF THE BEST MCU FILMS...BUT IN MY HOUSE THEY ARE ALL GREAT.
shareDefinitely was a downward slope after this and The First Avenger, the colours really popped and they had filmmakers focused on the cinematic. Bringing in televisual floor managers like Whedon and the Russos was what they needed to turn the films into homogeneous, unionized, standard coverage meme sitcoms though, it was all about outreach.
shareI think this was the only film that truly cared about story. They developed the Tony Stark character for the first 40 minutes. Once the Marvel Universe first started expanding, Marvel movies fell flat.
