Stuff to be aware of:

Grossness - There is a brief scene where Tony has surgery done on him to keep him alive. This is done in flashes as if Tony is coming in and out of conscience. Tony has an electromagnet put into his chest which looks gross. One character has a recently burnt spot on his face.

Sexual - Tony makes a joke about going 12 for 12 with calendar girls. He flirts with a female soldier. Tony flirts with a girl and she then goes home with him. They make out briefly. His shirt is unbuttoned and she is in her underwear. They roll off the bed and she is seen wrapped in a sheet in the morning and walks through the house in a long shirt with no pants on.

On a plane ride some ladies in midriffs dance around near a pole, but they don’t pole dance. Tony checks out several women and almost kisses a woman, but they move away at the last minute.

Scary - Ironman falls from a very high place when his armor freezes. Ironman must fight off a bigger armors person in the end. There is a remote that causes people to have paralisis. When this is used on them their veins turn a different color.

Violence - A military convoy is attacked and several soldiers die. One dies on the front of the car where his death is seen. Tony gets blown up and thrown into the air. There is some blood. There is a brief scene where Tony is waterboarded. A terrorist almost burns a man with a hot coal, but Tony stops convinces them not to hurt him.

Multiple terrorists get knocked out by the Mark 1 armor. A character is shot off screen but dies on screen sharing a final few words with Tony. His clothes are bloody as he takes his last few breaths. There are a few people that catch on fire and trip over things. They are seen very briefly. The terrorists are seen killing people in a village and taking hostages. One man is kicked on the ground multiple times. Ironman kills multiple guys at once with very small rounds.

A lot of terrorists are held hostage and then shot off screen.

The ending of the movie is a huge fight between Ironman and Ironmonger that is pretty intense. A man in a big suit of armor falls into a giant A.R.C. reactor and it explodes. He is also seen convulsing before hand as if being electrocuted.

Other - There is a scene in a casino where Tony gambles. There are multiple scenes with drinking.

Overall:

The movie and characters that started the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tony, Pepper, Rhodey, Jarvis, the personalities that lead us to the Avengers and multiple movies over multiple years. Robert Downey Jr. is Ironman and Tony Stark is RDJ. A great way to start off an entire superhero franchise. You likely don’t need my opinion on this one. I wrote this article to fill in a backlog of movies parents may want to read about before watching with their kids.
