My list:
1- Iron Man 2. Underrated gem. I loved the story-arc about Tony, his path of discovery toward his father and the "secret element". Terrific aerial battle/fight at the end. Rourke was genuinely menacing. I loved everything about it. Brilliant movie.
2- Iron Man 1. One of the best superhero origins ever depicted on screen. First half was superior to second half, even. Just a great movie, overall speaking. A modern "classic".
3- Iron Man 3. They destroyed Iron Man and focused on Tony Stark. Bad move. (Unjustified) deconstructionism all over the place. It's a good movie, but it's not Iron Man anymore. To me, the real third chapter is "Avengers 1". This is Iron Man 3.5.
