Iron Man is very shallow. TA isnt. It doesnt really do much for you if you dedicate a lot of time to your character... to say little. Iron Man was mostly RDJ being great and having great chemistry with Pepper. The movie itself was nice, but nothing special. Captain had no third act that hel d istelf. Nice movie, but very messy at the end. Thor, i liked too, but the psychology and drama was quite simple and it needed development in all areas. Just my opinion, mind you; i know Iron Man is held in high regard here... i just disagree. No biggie.
TA plays in another laegue; its far more nuanced, detailed and organic that any marvel movie i have seen. And far better characcerized.
Indy by the way doesnt change much, but there is a lot going on there. A dual father/son relationship between the deceased Ravenwood and the dark side Bellocq. For a long time, Indy is in the grey area between a scavenger and an archeologist. When Belocq tells him that "a little push and you would be like me" he is not wrong. There is a lot of fighting to proove he is one of the good one; fighting the nazis and finding the ark is more of a morel quarry and a search od purpose and identity than it looks in the surface.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is not Persona, or a Dreyer movie. BUt its not just fun fun action, being it also very fun and having allmost nonstop action itself, there is quite a lot of meat there. Just as with TA.
