An Iron Man origin story that sadly lacks a good villain, a factor that could've been easily compensated for by elevating the conflict between Tony and his limitations, or between his conscience and his past, but unfortunately neither of those things are given enough attention. Most of the time it really doesn't matter because Robert Downey Jr is simply amazing as the arrogant, billionaire playboy with the silver tongue and well-groomed facial hair. He makes the film more than the sum of its parts. Without him, it would be just another superhero film.

I liked the villain outside of the suit. Much more villainous that way with betrayal and murder as opposed to in the suit which has the less impressive crimes of IP theft and property damage.
