AFI Awards, USA
YearResultAwardCategory/Recipient(s)
2009 Won AFI Award Movie of the Year
Kevin Feige
Avi Arad
IRON MAN smashes through the cinematic stratosphere to take its rightful place among the leading superhero sagas in American film. Witty and bold, this dynamic film is a shining example of summer entertainment that can both entertain and enlighten. Jon Favreau's dynamic direction delights in the medium, using visual effects with a light touch and in perfect service to the story. Robert Downey, Jr.'s inspired interpretation lifts the title role off the pages of a comic book with great respect - and his own indelible quirkiness - launching it into the future as audiences cheer both a hero and their own humanity.
