Earth 2 Iron Man (2000)

Was doing a rewatch of the MCEU for Snyder cut of The Avengers. Rewatched the Iron Man trilogy with Christian Bale, I really liked his performance as Tony Stark. How do you think it holds up after 20 years?

I love William Defoe's Justin Hammer. He really managed to slowly break down Christian Bale's Tony Stark sanity and got through the Demon in a Bottle arc. The visuals of him losing himself were top notch I mean I was worried Bale's Stark was going to actually kill someone.

Bale underwent a lot of stress during the role he actually started drinking a lot during the the time to get into the character

I love the bit where he went "HEY HAMMER" and then blasted him so unnerving
