It's in a weird spot. It came out a little before smart phones, so it is kind of hilarious to see Tony build a super suit, but still use a flip phone (Even if it was a LG VX9400) :lol

It's a decent flick. It hasn't been the MCU "Gold standard" since The Winter Soldier (For the more plot heavy fans) or Guardians (For those more into quirky protagonists), though.

I was always kind of in the camp that preferred The First Avenger and Thor over Iron Man.
To this day, I'm still baffled as to why Thor ends up so low on so many lists for MCU films. I mean, yeah, Thor 2 was kind of crap, but Thor 1 was a solid mix of action, character, and humor. I loved it.

I still haven't seen either of the Thor movies, mostly because I've heard enough bad things that it's scared me away from doing so.

Those and the 2008 Hulk are the only MCU films I still need to see...really should get around to it, especially since those are all on Netflix now...

To make up for this they had Tony turn a flip phone into a smart phone in the sequel by merely being in the presence of the phone

I never thought Thor ended on the low end spectrum, kinda thought that the first Captain America film held that spot.

Of the Phase 1 stuff, Thor is my favorite while Iron Man 2 is my least favorite.

On the other hand, I think Thor 2 is the worst of the Phase 2 movies.

Yep. The only saving grace for Iron Man 2 was this.

Actually, that's one positive thing I can say about all three Iron Man movies is that at least the action sequences will keep you entertained.

HAVE AT THEE!!!

That looks surprisingly awesome actually. Simple but really, really fun.

I get a GotG-kinda vibe from it.

Okay. That's it. I'm done. I AM SO WATCHING THIS.
