So, it’s
been a while since I did a theme month in November, but here’s one
It’s Marvel
Month
So, for this
month I’ll be covering all the Marvel movies in the MCU that I haven’t already
covered. Iron Man 3, Age of Ultron and Civil War have already been done, so I’m
not doing them again. I also won’t be doing Spider-man Homecoming since that’s
still a Sony product, just in the MCU (plus I don’t have any space for it)
Logan and Deadpool I’ll try and cover sometime next year. Also, because since
most Marvel movies haven’t been critically slammed and I don’t dislike them
personally, this will be entirely mini reviews.
So, with
that said, let’s get to where it all started with Iron Man.
2008 was
when Marvel struck it lucky with the beginning of their cinematic universe,
with a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes it remains one of their most critically
acclaimed movies but not their most successful, it made $585m on a $140m
budget, which was a good enough starting brick for the towering behemoth the Marvel
Cinematic Universe would come to be. Does it hold up nearly 10 years later? Let’s
take a look. And spoilers for a 9-year old movie will follow
