Review
A sharp, self-contained origin story with style, heart, and laughs to spare. Robert Downey Jr. reinvents Tony Stark for the screen in a way that makes him inseparable from the role. A remarkable film, despite a few moldy pop culture references.
This movie is part of our complete MCU retrospective.
