I went back for this in an attempt to refresh my memory about the 10 Rings in anticipation of the Shang Chi screener. So much of the origin story just doesn’t work for me now. Building the arc reactor and the first suit covertly whilst in captivity is so absurd. It’s dumb. But who cares?
What redeems it is the performances of Robert, Jeff and dare I add Gwyneth? As much as I loath goop, she’s good in this. The others are on point too. Robert is so good as Stark.
The cgi effects were revolutionary at the time but are TV rate now. The superhero fights were great.
It’s the creation story for all of the MCU and a lot of the nascent formula is apparent.
I was mindlessly entertained for two hours.
I don’t know anything more about the 10 rings than before - they are evil terrorists. Got it. They use a similar flag in this as we see in the Shang Chi trailer.
I might watch the other 2 too. Well, maybe one of them tomorrow, prolly IM3 because that was the one with the Mandarin, right?
