“Kill power” **shuts down arc reactor**

Still probably some of the best CGI in any film, still looks incredibly real 14 years later

This suit-up scene can still give goosebumps to any real Iron Man fan. Plus the rock music doubled the enjoyment here.

Between 1:19 and 1:20 if you slow down the video, you can actually see that UI marks the wall of tunnel with red warning sign as collision point, and Tony indeed scratches that wall on his way out of the building. It's so fast that it's hardly even noticeable, but it's still there. Amazing attention to details.

"Tony Stark was able to build the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a cave! With a box of scraps!" ~ Obadiah Stane.

Jarvis: “Sir, I’ve made a safety brief for you to ignore.”

14 years later. That walk-around reveal still gives me goosebumps.

1:18 and 3:06 makes you feel happy that it was a success. it's like he's a kid on those scenes and i am glad he is happy genuinely and not worrying too much about aliens or his ptsd or the consequences of the avengers and the latter's collateral damage on the world.

The most unbelievable part is that his freshly-written OS loads successfully and does not have bugs on the very first run.

Tony and J.A.R.V.I.S relationship is underrated. Friday is decent but no one replaces J.A.R.V.I.S

So it's 2009. Showing my mum this movie for the first time. "I am Iron Man" My mum smiles, looks at me and asks: "Know why he said that?" "No?" "It's so they can make a sequel" She had no idea, just how right she was.

In a few years time we'll all know just how important this film was for our generations. Not kidding, my 1st year of Btech and I talked to a lot of freshers about why they chose engineering. All answered they wanted to build something like the Iron Man suit a reality. This movie single-handedly created an entire generation of engineers. That aside, its still one of the best superhero movies for me.

The ice building up before he got to space was the universe saying "you aren't ready for what's out there."

3:07 That laugh is liberating. It's like finding out as a kid that you nailed a math test you thought you failed, or finding out as an adult that your insurance is actually going to fully cover the cost of something.

Man I still get major goosebumps during this scene. Builds up when you see the armor breathing of life. Intensifies when the HUD activates. Excitement drives home the serious precautions of flight travel and air weather estimates. And when Tony launches he's voicing the audience were we're in his... armor. What time to be seated in a theater. Thanks Favreau.

I kind of miss the heavy, mechanical movements of the older armors. And I loved how there were a lot of moving parts.

The expressions of Tony in the helmet while experiencing flying for the first time here, is probably the most child-like, happiest, geek-out in his entire time in the MCU.

The three film introduction of ironman with rdj is what made avengers. The cgi was better then than last 4/5 marvel 'blockbusters'. It felt so much more real with strongly developed and well cast characters.

(alternate universe) "Tony Stark was found deceased this morning on the Peddington 54th street highway, apparently having succumbed to his injuries after impacting on the causeway in what appears to a be some sort of powered suit that he was testing at extreme altitudes. It is not exactly clear what failed at this time, and Stark Industries has refused all comments until further notice."

1:52 That kid was the first person to ever see Iron-Man, grew up hearing about his acts of heroism, probably got snapped away by Thanos by the time he was 18 just graduating high school, then came back only for Iron Man to have died an hour later. What a story.

I remember watching this on DVD back in like 2009 and when he fell through the floor me and my mom died laughing, such a cool scene too.

Over 14 years, and I JUST NOW noticed you can see Tony's eyes behind the mask at 2:34. I love this movie.

3:06 Insane acting... I can feel that excitement too👏👏

TONY : "sometimes you gotta run before you can walk" J.A.R.V.I.S : sir that absolutely makes no sense. TONY: exactly.

"How'd you fix the freezing problem?" "Freezing problem?"

Tony’s face when he recovers and that exclamation cracks me up. “YEEEEEEUUHHHHAHAHAAA”

That last scene kills me to this day. 😂

3:07 when you write 200 lines of code, compile them without testing, and it all runs smoothly on the first try.

Jarvis in Iron Man : *saves Tony Jarvis in Civil War : *shoots Rhodey

The joy that Robert and Jon had in making this is just so evident in the excellent quality of the movie. The first time I watched this was with my son, 14 years ago, and every time I see it now I'm taken right back to that time sitting next to him. The best memories, thank you Jon & Robert 🙏❤

Words cannot express how i miss him.

Tony Stark, the only person who could destroy a grand piano and a classic Shelby and only be annoyed because of the fire suppression system.

Still the best MCU movie, hands down.

I kind of wish they'd had Vision interact with Tony more. Yes, he was only part Jarvis, but his personality was most informed by the part that was Jarvis, and his memories were likely of Jarvis to some extent. It would've been nice to see the two interact with the dynamic they had here shifted a bit and seeing them adjust to that. Imagine a scene where Tony is warning Vision against something, in a friendly but concerned way, and Vision just looks at him and says "Sometimes you have to run before you can walk".

This scene just makes you feel happy, like you can achieve anything 😊

What I love about this scene is one; It's a true accumulation of all that hard work, paying off. two; It still presents its own problems, meaning there's room for improvement, and allowing for further growth on the matter and three; This sums up nicely a solution to the final fight (the icing issue). Something that could easily have just been a mild problem for him to address actually is a chekov's shotgun.

still don't believe this 11 years ago i miss jarvis...

Nobody: Tony Stark: trying to beat a world record with a prototype...

Still the most badass introduction of a super hero. Watched it in 2008-2009. Got chills that time and still today. RDJ played Tony and Iron man to the absolute best. I knew it was start of something special from Marvel.

I miss the old days of Ironman. These suits were awesome

Years later, that kid comes back for revenge on Tony Stark for making him drop his ice cream.

I love this armor much more than the later "nanotec" versions.

Perhaps one of the most iconic scenes in movie history!

This science gets me everytime. Literally my most favourite scene in the entire iron man trilogy or any of his suit ups. The way he finally reached the border of the atmosphere and he is about to fall because he didn't calculate for the "icing problem" It represents the balance between scientific drive and discovery as well as potential danger and destruction and it all comes together as he nearly hits the ground. Love it so much. All in 4 minutes no less.

This movie had what a lot of later MCU films just lacked: a sense of wonder of the hero discovering their abilities like when Tobey Maguire learned to swing. Captain America becomes buff and immediately chases a guy down. Strange does nothing with his weird powers in his film. Really wish they brought some of this Magic back

If you know the price of the piano and the car he broke when he fell, you will feel the pain more.

When JARVIS said "perhaps we should improve the exoskeleton in case we visit another planet" it was a foreshadow for tony in end game when he got stranded in the benetar..

the fire extinguisher machine was waiting his entire life for that very moment 3:33

Iron man was definitely one of the coolest characters in the MCU

3:07 In that laughter there is everything. Freedom, delight and joy like boy first time in his life finds out he is really alive and has everything in his hands. Love that moment! And this flight scene is worth most of movies from MCU.

Tony’s reaction just does it for me 3:06 I think we can all say we’ve had the same reaction knowing that when you build something with your hands especially by yourself and it works there’s no better feeling.

I always can't help picturing Stan sitting at the premier (as I assume he did) That he lived to see so many of these beloved characters brought to live in such an epic and HUGELY successful way makes me so happy.

Anyone feel that when Tony said, "Cut power," JARVIS cut _all_ power including any suspension/mobility aids to be a smartass?

Wow.. when Tony first started out testing how high his suit can fly and later freezing up due to the cold temperatures and falling back to Earth. Now, in Infinity War, he managed to go hypersonic to chase the "flying donut" that held Strange in order to save him - he went to space!!! He's come a long waaaaaay.

Silver armor with blue light color inside is the most underrated ironman design of all time. Its set the spark on many ironman lovers.

Those sounds at 3:12 gives me goosebumps!!! Nostalgic

Iron man suit up scene is the most satisfying thing in the world

this is a film that made Marvel rise from bankruptcy

Give me the heavy armor any time. I have no hate for the nanotech. It's cool that Tony is always evolving the armor. But this suit is the best. ♥

This movie will always be one of the best movies ever.

Man his reaction in the entire flight feels so genuine… Like when you remember flying is one of the most known dreams out there, and it just becomes a reality

The shots of Tony flying up and aiming straight for the moon have a subtle poetry to them now. It's like subconsciously, primally, he knew he had unlocked not just a new destiny for himself, but an entirely new tier of destiny for humanity. What's so great about Phase 1 of the MCU is how it captures the human element. Aside from Thor, and arguably Cap's shield material, every superhero is born from nothing but humanity's own ingenuity and willpower, their creativity and soul. Cap's heart, Tony's mind, Banner's willpower, Black Widow and Hawkeye's skills, Nick Fury's foresight: each first human Avenger represents and contributes the peak offerings of the Human race, which makes their collective first victory against an alien invasion so much more satisfying. Like seeing the first man on the moon in the real world, it's scenes like this (even in fiction) that inspire young minds to chase our greatest potential. Iron Man deserves to be remembered as a masterpiece, if for nothing else than for what it represents.

We went from this moment, this pivotal character buildup, to the soul-crushing emptiness of Secret Invasion. How do the mighty fall, don't they?

0:32 still one of the best moments in the whole MCU, when they cared about making it fun and right, not about pushing an agenda. This is what we want MARVEL!!

"Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk".............very rise words he should have told that to spiderman

Absolutely love the attention to detail in the HUD.

Iron Man 1 was so good, I remember going to watch it with my friends, I was in 7th grade at the time, we had no idea what to expect, the movie was absolutely amazing, Robert Downey Jr. was born to play Tony Stark, the post credits scene with Nick Fury talking about the Avengers initiative blew me away! now to look back at this movie, and what it started feels surreal man! The beginning of the MCU 👏👏👏👏

I'm part of the generation that's inspired to become engineers through movies like this.

0:32 watched this scene 50 times, still cool.

Minecraft players when they get an elytra for the first time

This scene is honestly better in slightly lower resolution. The reduced graphics help the CGI glitches blend into the surroundings, which overall makes it look more real.

2023, and the scene is still awesome 👏🔥

This “outdated” armor still looks beautiful

Man, I remember watching this as a little kid and loving it. Watching it now as an engineer, I'm actually inspired and appreciate it even more. Unlike many things, these movies really do get better with age

We went from this masterpiece to ms Marvel 😢

This scene looks great in 1080p with 60hz. It seems to move much more fluidly and smoother than when you watch it on DVD. This is one of several reasons why I now buy my media on blu-ray. It may be pricier, but it is so worth it when you get better resolution and frame rate, plus depending on the distributor and/or edition of the movie, you get better special features and, more than often, an alternate cut or two.

Imagine his suit didn’t come back online and just pile drived into the earth. 😂 Had to be one of the many futures Strange saw lmao

3:33 Love when the extinguisher robot does that.

Incredible. Especially from 14 years.

The score, the visuals, the emotions, makes the whole flying with iron man experience

1:18 there's a beautiful detail watch it in .25 x the detail is iron man actually hit the wall and his suit warned him with a red signal

I still prefer how real the suits felt back then, I wish they didn’t go 100% CGI

I remember being in theaters watching this scene with my family. We were all excited. It was amazing. We even wanted to fly up like him. To then laugh when he falls and scream or onto his cars

I love the Mark 2. It's perfect, yet...not perfect. It's 90% of the way there, but it's plagued with small oversights like the ice problem, trivial issues that inevitably happen with any new and unproven design. In a way, Mark 2 and Obadiah's Iron Monger suit are the same, despite being fundamentally very different by design. But Obadiah never actually worked out the kinks with his armor, never even bothered to push it to its limits and find those amateur design flaws, and it was part of his undoing.

0:31 the real theme is born.

“Jarvis, sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.” Why isn’t anybody talking about this quote?

Cinematic masterpiece

This bgm when checking control systems is one of favorites 😍

We went from this, to a nanobot suit that could be any parts he wanted at will, Stark is amazing

Saw this in the theatre and is still one of my most favorite moments in any Marvel film.

This is by far the coolest looking Iron Man suit.

Thousands of movie scenes but nothing is as cool as Iron man Movies , specially this scene 😍

Meanwhile Heimdall was watching and enjoying this scene from Asgard

2:58 damn that sound when his suit reboots

The rocket-like “fwoookkkkhhhshhhh” of the boot jets just reverberates in your head. In theaters, it was even more magical.

The control surfaces check might be the sexiest CGI I've ever seen in my life.

Fun fact J.A.R.V.I.S. stands for: just a rather very intelligent system. And F.R.I.D.A.Y. stands for: Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth.

The MCU's first movie is full of iconic scenes and they still look amazing today.

I still remember how the entire audience laughed when the robot hit him with the extinguisher😂

These older suits looks so much cooler and better than the new ones
