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)

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.
