We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
It was an anomaly at the time, too. Really it's the only good pre-Avengers MCU movie and it's still a top 5 now.

For having so little action iron man action in it, it’s still near top tier marvel and a million miles away from where they are just how. Pretty much spot on casting and an engaging story that worked well with an almost indie budget. (Well compared to pretty much every other Marvel movie)
To think, there were concerns this wouldn’t do well. Think what the world would be like if the mcu started with the eternals, the Marvel’s or anyone of the recent train wrecks they call an ‘event movie’ these days

The Iron Man suit from it is still the best. They actually used a real suit in many scenes.

Had no idea they used a real suit. They should fire everyone and go back to just making good movies.

Figures Stan Winston. Man is a god. Thanks for sharing. That was really cool.
Iron woman is a command, not a superhero.

But how would we know what neon coloured hair they'd have with that helmet on.

Probably would have been the best superhero movie of any other year than the one The Dark Knight came out in. It's a really good example of efficient storytelling, with an extremely tight script that doesn't have a load of fat hanging off it, coupled with an astoundingly good performance from RDJ. It really was the perfect way to start the MCU, and is still top 5 in the whole damn thing.
It's a movie that would never get made today.

They didn't have a finished script when the filming started:

I was very suprised to hear that.
Iron Man Had a Major Production Issue - And It Scared Jeff Bridges
2008's Iron Man is iconic in the genre, but the production was far from perfect. In fact, it even startled a veteran actor like Jeff Bridges.

Speaking of Captain America
Winter soldier, another actual marvel masterpiece. I so miss those days
They actually made you want to go see them on opening. (and not worry about missing some barely connected story that goes nowhere. Or are a character you know nothing about, but seems ‘special’ in some unearned way)
