#2 Iron Man When I saw the trailer for Iron Man, right away I knew this film plus popcorn would equal a good time at the movies. I soon found out I was wrong; it equaled an awesome time at the movies. Much like Christopher Reeve, Robert Downey Jr. is another example of perfect casting. Iron Man is not only a great superhero movie; it’s a great movie all around. I've had conversations with people who don’t always care for superhero films, yet even they agree that Iron Man delivers. Sometimes origin films can be a little tiresome, but the well crafted story and great pacing by John Favreau makes Iron Man a film that’s pleasing to even the most critical fan. Best Scene: Tony Stark developing the Iron Man armor. And number #1 superhero movie is…a tie!
