Rated Iron Man 8/10

It's funny to hear Obadiah Stane growl "Just because you had an idea doesn't mean it belongs to you," telegraphing that Feige and Favreau saw themselves as subversive artists within the machine rather than the machine itself. Fast forward 17 years and now they're the ones parasitically draining the life force out of new film talent and lumbering along with a shambolic husk that isn't nimble enough to withstand the heights of their ambitions. Poetic, really. Minus half a star for what they do with Christie the Journalist. That subplot just keeps aging worse and worse.
