The movie "Iron Man" (2008) marked the beginning of the MCU. Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of the relatable Tony Stark, the groundbreaking VFX of the time, and the thrilling storyline have been highly praised by critics and audiences alike. This film transcended the boundaries of a typical superhero movie, setting the direction for superhero films in the 2010s. The Iron Man suit, realized through advanced technology, captivated audiences as a "serious superhero costume." The fusion of universal themes and entertainment value continues to attract people to this day.

I watched it thinking that since it was based on an American comic book, I would have to have some knowledge of the story to understand it. I wanted to know a little about the story since it is based on an American comic book. However, that was not the case, and it was delightful even for first-time viewers. After the staff roll, a cut hints at a sequel, so I am looking forward to the sequel.

It may seem long until Captain America is born. Still, that is good because it is carefully produced so that people who do not know Captain America can enjoy it.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to enjoy a flashy film. I was worried that the main characters from different movies would unify the film's worldview, but they did, and I could get into the story without any problems!
