Iron Man | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Karl French Financial Times Still, if the film is ultimately disappointing it is in part because it begins so well, and there is a lot to enjoy before the over-the-top final act. Oct 7, 2018 Full Review Iron Man | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Deborah Ross The Spectator I like Downey Jr, usually, with his dark wounded eyes, but here his performance veers between going though the motions and a look which seems to say, "Hey, what film am I doing again?" Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Iron Man | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Craig Outhier Orange County Register Led by Downey's career-resurrecting performance as billionaire weapons peddler Tony Stark, it proves just as indispensable to the movie's giddy escapist appeal as the seamless CGI effects and eye-popping pyrotechnics. Rated: A- Jun 15, 2015 Full Review Iron Man | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) Everything is owed to Iron Man, a film that launched a moment and set a standard that hasn’t always been reached. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Iron Man | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joseph Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast An exceptionally well-made debut for Marvel Studios. Fun, engaging and bolstered by a tour-de-force lead turn by Robert Downey Jr. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Iron Man | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Nicolás Delgadillo Discussing Film When all is said and done, this is, without a doubt, the Robert Downey Jr. show from start to finish.
