One Of The Best Movies Of All-Time

I really think most people know in their hearts that no franchise based off any graphic novel character has done it better than Iron Man and what RDJ has brought to the table. Those trying to say otherwise are more than likely not being honest with themselves.

I was watching TV yesterday and Iron Man was on as was Raiders of the Lost Ark on another channel. I went back and forth between the two. It dawned on me how perfect both films are and not just for their genre. Intelligent, fun, smart with PERFECT casting. Knowing what has come after Iron Man (Avengers, Captain America, Agents of SHIELD, etc.) it makes that film mean even more. As a film fan, I realized that it just doesn't get any better and I was enjoying two of the top 40 films ever made. YES... regardless of genre and in the history of motion pictures, Iron Man is one of the best things ever put to film.

People call Avengers The Raiders or Star Wars of this generation and a lot of that has to do with Tony Stark as Iron Man.

After the release of this original film, I couldn't wait for the sequel to come out. Being a fan of the comic books, my expectations for the sequel were very high. IM2 didn't let me down, matching most of the expectations I had for it. It did exactly what the original film did, but also set up Avengers nicely. Now, IM3 adds to the legend by actually topping IM2. Fight scenes were larger and more was added to the mix. Overall, any film fan will be pleased with this entire trilogy, now all we gotta do is wait for IM4.

There have not been 40 movies made total that are better than this film. So, it's top 40 for sure.

Not top 40, but better than Raiders of the Lost Ark, definitely.
