the thing is Iron Man 1 is an absolutely amazing film but Iron Man 2/3 are pretty terrible (especially 3, what the hell was the scriptwriter thinking, is like the absense of a real plot with Tony walking around for half of the film contemplating shit)

first of all Iron Man 3 is awesome.  A character study with one of the best twists in blockbusters in years.  Hell even if you hated it, it dispels the myth that Marvel movies are formulaic or predictable.  I mean when was the last time a movie had a completely shocking twist that actually fed the narrative and fit the story perfectly and was not revealed or hinted at in trailers?  The only serious knock I have on it is Guy Pearce making people not like the twist because he sucked as the main villain and was just god awful when saying "I am the mandarin!"  Operation House Party is one of the coolest moments I've ever had at the theater.  Like everyone I watch it with the first time has the same reaction.  They try to predict which Iron Man suit is coming then like 40 show up and jaws hit the floor and fist pumping nerdgasms commence

Iron Man 2 is awful

Sequels don't effect the greatness of a singular film.  If so the Dark Knight Rises ruins Dark Knight's legacy and Spider-Man 3 ruins Spider-Man 2's legacy which I don't believe is true

Also Iron Man appeared in Avengers, Age of Ultron, and Civil War in fairly significant parts.  So I would factor those into his role as well.  All these films explore his character and how it evolved.  In Avengers 1 he disproves steve's claim about not being the guy to lay on the wire at the end when he flies the nuke into the hole.  In Ultron he and Banner unwittingly cause disaster then make up for it with Vision.  In Civil War he makes Cap look like the bad guy (appearances are not deceiving in this instance) in his own film.



I am Iron Man

1989 Batman

If most people here were adults at that time, they would have been very appreciative of this movie. It really paved the way for comic book movies to really be taken seriously.



It is near the end of the end....

Batman Begins

If that were true we wouldn't have had to deal with Batman Forever & Batman and Robin. I think Blade paved the way for comic book movies to be taken seriously. Then we got X-men and then Spider-man.



i think the superhero movies work along a lot of genres and there have been a bunch of great movies, for me the best ones ever are:

Superman (1978), Spiderman 2 from Sam Raimi, the Batman from Chris Nolan, iron man (2008), Captain America the winter soldier, the incredibles from pixar and maybe i am missing one or two.



To be honest it's between Iron Man, Avengers, and Civil War. Oh look they all involve me. Guess we know what the formula is (other than Iron Man 2 which I was still great in and had some genuine father son moments)

To be honest, out of all of the movies, Civil War seemed to be the perfect comic book movie. It rewards you for knowing the heroes from like 12 previous movies and introduces new ones that we can't wait to see more of.  Plus it leads up to Infinity War, which will be the biggest comic book movie anyone has ever seen.



So, so many good choices. But if I have to pick just one, then it would have to be the one that never gets old to me. The one that I still enjoy even after seeing it half a dozen times:

The Avengers.
