   “I am Iron Man.”

   Who doesn’t want to be able to say that?

   Not me, honestly…but I’m a middle class person with anxiety. So I’m not going around inventing robotic suits to fight terrorist organizations.

   But we’ve made it. Finally. The beginning of the Infinity Saga. The start of the official MCU. I kind of felt like we were never going to get here, honestly, up until we started it. Even though we only spent two months watching the MCU last year it feels like a year long journey.

   And Iron Man is a good movie. It’s a really good movie. There’s a reason it spawned an entire multi franchise saga. The soundtrack is fantastic. The casting is superb. The balance between comedy and drama is perfect.

   When people want to start a superhero franchise, this is the movie they should look to.

   I have no criticism. I have nothing to say that millions haven’t said before.

   This is a good movie.
