IRON MAN

• Very entertaining
• These days, the origin story is played out. But hey, if you're starting a franchise, it's a given. And this was a fine origin story
• It's been said countless times before, but Robert Downey Jr. has charisma for days
• Pepper Potts is a dumb name. Naming your child Pepper Potts is almost as bad as naming your company Goop
• The goodness of a Jeff Bridges character is directly related to his amount of hair. Iron Man: bald douchebag; The Big Lebowski: coolest dude in the world; Surf's Up: penguin. I rest my case
• Bye, Terrence Howard. It's been fun
• Am I wrong, or does the Iron Man mask have a lil frowny face on it? :(
• We almost forgot to watch the post-credits sequence! I mean, we all know where this is going, but the fanboys must've been screaming back in 2008!

MARK'S MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE REVIEWS

Hello, and welcome! Full disclosure, I'm actually writing this post on April 18th of 2021, but we're going to backdate all the Marvel reviews to reflect when I first posted them on Facebook.

In March of 2019, there had already been 21 movies released in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At that point, I had seen 6 of them. So, my girlfriend, Ashley, and I decided to embark on a watching project, and I decided I'd write little reviews of each movie throughout. I had never written movie reviews before, but I've long loved talking about and reading about the movies I watch, so it seemed like as good a time as any to give it a go.

The reviews started out pretty casual and short, and they stayed pretty casual, but you may notice that I started to go more and more in-depth. Enjoy!
