2 will always hold a little piece of my heart because of the absolute batshitness of Mickey Rourke (and I almost typed Mickey Rooney which would've been a whole other level of batshit but I kind of want to see that now). That said, it is clearly the lesser of the Iron Men. I generally give it a 1,3,2 just because 1 was so much unexpected fun, but it's close.

Iron Man 2 always makes me think of Mickey Rourke and his bird. Which makes me laugh.
I give it 3, 2, 1, because the Rhodey recast + Black Widow trumps 1 by a hair. I mean, 1 is objectively better, but I find 2 easier to watch.
I mean, it's really 3, 2/1.
You ship 2 and 1?
Ant Man was SO good. Enjoyed the heck out of it!
Ftr, I'm Iron Man 1,2,3.

How IS the weather in Wrongdonia?
Iron Man 3, 1, 2 here. But it's close. I loved what they did with Tony's character in 3, and I don't give a crap about the Mandarin (except for how gleefully I cackled in the theater over the utter inversion and inside-out-ening of expectations. So much better than going with the stupid predictable boring original. Your childhood, let me ruin it).
I may be 1 3 2. I’m forgetting now.
I'm 132, but 2 was on when I was stuck in the hospital last year and it was much more enjoyable than I had remembered.
Tony Stark at loose in a Home Depot-type store and single-handedly attacking a terrorist compound is wonderful. I love all the fanfics where people say "But he doesn't have his armor!" and the Avengers are all "He's going to meet us already on his way back, and the bad guys are going to be in a floating prison he just invented." And the common thread of "They pissed him off and then put him in a lab? Boy, are they stupid."
