Iron Man

Okay, I think I should get a round of applause for my restraint on putting a bunch of superhero movies on this little blog of mine.

Because I love them. Good or bad. I love them.

Thank you, thank you.

That being said, restraint is now gone.

I recently re-watched one of my all-time favorites: Iron Man.

I'm talking about this movie out of all of the superhero films not only for the fact that it started a multi-movie blockbuster franchise by itself and with the Avengers, but also for the fact that I really think this movie rewrote what Superheroes were supposed to be about.

There was solid characterization and a very engaging plot, but this movie made superheroes fun again. Tony Stark is a great, multifaceted character with a whole lot of depth, but he's also a partier and keeps living his life along with the fact he's a superhero.

I found the character to be engaging and believable in a way I never thought of him before and to this day it is one of my favorites of all time.
