IRON MAN (2008) 🦾 First Time Watching 🎬 Movie Reaction

🌟 Hey everyone! I appreciate all the love and support you've shown me over the years 🥰 Many of you have asked how you can help with my dream of having a small farm/ranch with the goal of helping animals in need. I'm excited to share that I've set up a GoFundMe to help make my dream a reality hopefully a wee bit sooner. If you'd like to contribute, please check out the link below-every little bit helps!

[@dolf370]

I think it's tied with "I cculd be surgeon, I have a stady hand, I'm just not smart enough."

[@technofilejr3401]

When Nick Fury said "Avenger Initiative" a lot of the crowd in the theater went wild. Prior to this movie, most practically all superhero movies had a single hero fighting alone. Some folks were like "What is the that". With those two words, old school fans knew that we would be seeing Iron Man fighting alongside Captain America, Thor, Hulk and the other Avengers. The rest is history.

[@inwoker]

At the time I missed post credits scene in this movie. I didn't know to wait for it

TBH, this is not only RDJ becoming Tony Stark/Iron Man, but his performance kickstarting the whole MCU. The right casting choice at the right time with the right script and crew.

[@wyrmshadow4374]

What script? Most of it was improvisation

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

Tony Stark becoming RDJ. Actor redefining the role? or was he just building up into that character? I was never an ironman fan enough before this movie to know the difference. I leave it to more knowledgeable comic fans to argue that.

[@harveylee51]

@Flamebeard0815 It's all the more impressive when you realize how far RDJ has come along in recovering from addiction to become IRON MAN ! I must confess to having dealt with problems like that myself now grateful to be sober and grateful for DAWN'S reactions ! Happy Christmas Holidays !! 🎄 Blessings 🙏

[@NativeNewMexican]

@@wyrmshadow4374 practically none of Iron Man's script was improvisation. A script is more than dialogue, which definitely had a lot of improvisation. RDJ didn't improvise flying the suit over the cars w/o any damage and then falling through the ceiling at the end. Nobody improvised stark riding in the convoy, being captured, building the suit, befriending the scientist prisoner guy, feeling guilt for his part in instigating war, and so on. All of that stuff was in the script, not improv. Give the script writers the credit they deserve and ALSO give the amazing actors that did improv SOME LINES the comparably smaller amount of credit they deserve.

[@Valandar2]

@@wyrmshadow4374 THIS. And even better, Bridges is not great at improv, and would have RDJ coach him on what to say if he needed to get the scene back on track.

Dawn : "what parent would name theyre child Pepper?" guess you didnt know Gweneth Paltrow actually named her child " Apple"

[@mariorossi9300]

Which is not surprising, considering she advises people to stuff jade eggs up their poonanies, for "wellness" reasons...

[@canaisyoung3601]

Plus, there was a cartoon series in the 1990s called "Pepper Ann," about the trials and tribulations of a neurotic seventh grade girl, so naming a kid Pepper is not as weird as naming them Apple.

[@avantegarde7797]

I thought exactly that when Dawn said it.

[@jasondolph2785]

I had a high school teacher named pepper.

[@robertanderson6929]

Something people tend to forget is that Iron Man was not a popular comic book character. Marvel Comics had sold the rights to their _popular_ characters i.e. Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, The X-men and The Hulk to actual movie studios. So, when Marvel was looking to get into the movie business they had to use their B-List superheroes. And nobody expected this movie to be the success that it became. Robert Downey, Jr? He was basically a failed actor due to substance abuse. Nobody expected him to make a comeback or to give such a charismatic performance that it would launch the most profitable IP in history with sequels spanning a decade. This movie was truly lightning in a bottle on the order of _Star Wars._

[@GeryonM]

Hence the line in IM2. ". .never has a greater phoenix metaphor been personified in human history."

Phil Coulson, Agent of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division, or S.H.I.E.L.D. And yes, Stan Lee does make cameo appearances in all of the Marvel movies, up to his passing. He actually passed just before "Avengers: Endgame" was released, but had pre-taped his cameo for that. He also was shown an advanced copy of the movie before he passed.

[@TSIRKLAND]

24:38 - "If you're selling the same weapons to both sides... It would just be a constant war, forever."

[@dunringill1747]

Before this movie, Iron Man was a "C List" character for Marvel. They were in financial problems in the 1990's and had to sell the movie rights to their top tier characters to other movie studios. In the mid 1990's, Marvel knew that movies were their big ticket item and focused everything on developing the MCU. At the time, Making this movie was a huge all or nothing gamble for Marvel, as was hiring Robert Downy Jr. to play Tony Stark. Marvel had the MCU main plot mapped out in pre-production for phases 1, 2, & 3 by the time they sold Marvel to Disney Studios at the end of 2009.

[@sparky6086]

I wouldn't say C list. At least B. After all, they did have a popular Iron Man TV cartoon in the 1960's. I don't think a C lister would have had an animated cartoon. Iron Man was popular through the 1970's. Tony Stark was actually portrayed as an alcoholic for awhile in the comics. He even slept off alcoholic benders & claimed he was getting his batteries which kept his heart going, recharged. The movie was fairly faithful to the comic book which began in 1962, but Vietnam was the War setting, not the Middle East. In 1962, the US had some "advisors" in Vietnam, but it wasn't really a household word in the US yet, so it's quite the coincidence that Stan Lee chose it as the setting a few years before it was a big deal. I think of Iron Man as A list, but concede, that many probably think of him as B list.

[@riveraharper8166]

I would say barely known. Same for Thor. While everyone knew Spider-man and The Hulk.

[@sparky6086]

@riveraharper8166 Thor & Iron Man both were well known in the 1960's & had animated TV shows. I guess it's an age gap thing? Milleneals & Zoomers weren't familiar with them. Younger Boomers like me, & older Gen X'ers are familiar with them both & likey financed the Marvel Universe, so that's why they seemingly re-emerged.

[@riveraharper8166]

The first Iron Man movie has one of the best movie endings ever after Tony Stark admits he is Iron Man to the press and then it immediately plays the song Iron Man by Black Sabbath as the credits start then it's followed by the Nick Fury reveal and mention of the Avengers , when I watched this in 2008 it was so obvious that this was going to be massive and so many people were excited to see where it would go but I didn't expect it to be the biggest most epic film franchise ever which it became.
