One of the few good Marvel solo movies. Robert Downey made Tony Stark in this film, to the point it's hard to imagine Stark being played by other actors. As one of the first superhero movies, Iron Man's origin story still comes of as fresh; even after other origin stories, Iron Man 1 still manages to give us a fresh take on superhero movie as it explores Stark's feat as an engineer, and a less cartoony portrayal of the villain, Obadiah Stane. Marvel has always stepped into the pitfall to making its villains as cartoon villains with childish motives and unbelievable actions; Stane stands out as one among them as his motives seems to be more grounded in reality (motivated by arms race). It is only when Stane resorted to killing Stark that it becomes a bit cartoony, but it's still a good Marvel movie in general.
