Um, no.
1. He wasn't chubby in any way, shape, or form.
2. He actually made Superman likable to me, a feat only STAS and JLU achieved besides him.
3. He looks almost exactly like comic book Superman.

Well, the thing about Iron Man, is that it was modernized. This thread asks for movies that stay true to the comics, Iron Man did not.
It stayed extremely true to the comic, taking numerous moments and plot points from numerous Iron Man comics.
Tony Stark was wounded by shrapnel in Vietnam
So? That's the only real argument you have, but even that stayed true o the comic book, despite changing the war. The events that happened in the wake of Tony's capture was almost spot on.
and was taken prisoner by The Mandarin.
Um, no he wasn't.
That never happened in the movie. Something around those lines did though, so although it wasn't exactly true to the comics it did pay an homage to it.
No homage. Adaption.

This is true. It was very, very close. I think because it was directed by an actual comic book fan who enjoys the medium. The way all comic book movies should be made, just as long as it doesn't turn all fanboy-like.

What argument? There is no argument, it's a fact Iron Man wasn't 100% accurate, very, very close to it though, heck yeah.

You're right, it was random terrorists, I was mixed up with the Iron Man cartoon from back in the day that had the Mandarin capture him.

I see it as a homage, but I guess it is an adaption. It differed only slightly, but payed great respects to the comic.
Only sin city is a extremely faithful comic adaptation. Even not 300, whon is very faithful but not enterly faithful, is totally loyal to the comics.
But movies like dick tracy or the first two superman movies were very loyal to the comics spirit, even the first conan was. And off course the first two batman movies by chris nolan, specially the first one. But all of them have their not loyal things, except sin city.
Christopher Reeve was almost perfect as superman, he looked the part and he can act. He was great. Only look a superman comic book and then look to reeves. Very, very close.

superman nowadays is even drawn like reeve.
