I didn't know about Iron Man or Marvel when this movie was released. I finished all the chores on a weekend, and thought, sure, I'd see an action movie. I went to a third-run theater with a small screen. Turned out I really enjoy the movie. Very compact plot, good dialogues, great action.
Re-watched in 2026 after all these years of following Marvel movies. Now I knew this was the movie that started Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man was still one of the best Marvel movies.
