Iron Man - Back when the MCU was in diapers. Holds up pretty well. Still, it all comes down to two guys in metal suits hitting each other. 8/10
Iron Man! Part Deux - Pretty underrated but the climax is uninspired to have our heroes fight a villain in another big suit of armor. Sam Rockwell gets most of the best lines, especially one about Canada.
The Iron Man Part III - Still not sure how I feel about the plot twist. The Mandarin, in his broadcasts, comes off as a terrifying threat, only to have the real Mandarin be Edmund Exley. Still, I like it going in a different direction. Plus, the scene where Stark rescues a bunch of people falling from Air Force One is pretty cool.
Overall - 7.5/10

First one is great. Nice balance of comedy, action and drama. Some genuine tension too. Oh, and a decent villain courtesy of Jeff Bridges.
Second one felt more like an extended trailer for The Avengers with an Iron Man villain and subplot squeezed in as an aside. Terrible follow-up.
Third one showed promise, but they ruined The Mandarin and went so overboard with the suits and all that CGI that they ended up making it feel like a live-action cartoon.
I would like to add that I think Robert Downey Jr. absolutely rules as Iron Man and deserved a higher calibre movie trilogy than he actually got. As it stands, only the 2008 film did his character justice.

The first one remains my favorite MCU film followed by the Avengers (2012). Iron Man 2 has a lot of the same issues that BVS later did. It's probably my least favorite Marvel film but it's still entertaining; 6/10. Iron Man 3 was shaping up to be an excellent sequel until the Mandarin twist happened. It's fine but man what a wasted opportunity; even they owned up to it with that one-shot saying the real Mandarin is still out there.

Never really liked Iron Man.
I liked Iron Man 2 a lot more.
