Review of Iron Man (1951) by Matt G — 02 Oct 2017
Better action sequences and a better villain would've made me rate this film higher. As it is, the action sequences are just alright and Obadiah is a pretty weak villain. The ending fight between Tony and Obadiah was meh.
There's some cheesy product placement thanks to Burger King that really detracts from a big moment in the movie when Tony Stark returns to the U.S. and announces he's going to stop making weapons for sale.
As usual, there is a black sidekick for the white lead character.
On the other hand, Tony and Yinsen's final scene together was unexpectedly moving and I also liked that Tony Stark's transformation from weapons-dealing playboy to hero was actually believable given what happened to him in the movie.
