I had my doubts about this movie, but it sure does deliver, Robert Downey Jr. is excellent and spot on as Stark, just as the rest of the cast, though it wouldn't be and overstatement to say Downey overshadows them.
the FX, superb... reminded me a lot of transformer (the suit and all) and I thought the movie flow very well (unlike the first british review I read, which said things moved fast) though I thought it was a bit too long...
love the ending, but since I saw it yesterday, didn't know about the "Scene" after the credits that I was looking forward to (I'm not much of a fan of Iron Man, but I'm big fun of "this" guy), will have to see it again to check it out...
... and next week: Speed Racer!

Wow Dwarf if YOU liked it,it MUST be a great film.yeah hopefully with their mistakes they made in the past, they have learned from them and their finally now starting to move forward in the right direction. But yeah your right on that,thats 100% true,thats STILL no excuse for their garbage movies made in the past. I was elated to see that they cast jeff Bridges in this movie.Im a big fan of his,he's a really good actor.

you can blame the directors for the horrible casting choices they make like an older actor that played johnny storm than whoever the girl was that played sue storm who you can tell is younger than the actor that played johnny storm,or the casting choice of whats her name for sue storm since she did not look the part at all.but as far as the films themselves,if they are horribly written, which most of them usually are,well you cant blame the directors for that,thats the screenwriters fault. People always seem to get the wrong idea about you Dwarf that you hate marvel comicbook characters just because hollywood screwed up their MOVIES and betrayed their character like they have with most of them. they dont get it that you love their characters they created,just that hollywood has screwed up their MOVIES on them most the time.
but thats kinda your fault dwarf because I never see you bash the burton/schumacher batman movies which deserve to be bashed since as we have talked about before,Batman Begins is the one and ONLY true batman movie that shouldnt be burned.so lets see some DC bashing of THOSE films from you Dwarf.
