This film reminds you how Marvel started off as something in the quasi real world. The technology, the plot, the characters, although far fetched, aren't too far fetched for you to imagine they are real.
It feels almost as if you yourself could step into an Iron Man suit. It almost feels as though if you were to drive to Southern California, you just might find Tony Stark driving around in one of his fancy cars. It almost feels as though Stark Industries is a real company and you could buy their stock today if you wanted to.
I'm in the minority here, but I don't like what Marvel became. It turned into a world of complete fantasy with no clear rules and no limitations. But Iron Man reminds us of where it started. It is perhaps the greatest superhero movie ever made and, in my humble opinion, easily the greatest Marvel movie of them all.
Favreau is a genius.
