I think Iron Man was fairly well done compared to some of the recent comic book movie offerings. The acting was competent, the effects were impressive, and the story was interesting for the most part.

It had the typical superhero movie annoyance of having to see the whole back story and where Iron Man came from. They also kinda downplayed the whole alcoholism thing, but they were probably saving that for the second movie. It seems every character has to have some major life turmoil in the second movie.

Still, I really like that they didn't use the main rival in the first movie. It really bugs me when they waste half a movie just developing the super hero, then throw the best villain at the hero in the second half. Its such a waste. I don't want to ruin the ending, but it done in a way to leave lots of options in the sequels.

I liked it alot more than I thought I would actually. I think Robert Downy Jr. was great in it. I love his his sarcastic, smarta** sense of humor.


Enjoy life. There is plenty of time to be dead.

It got excellent reviews (and I loved it!). Even if you don't like comic books or superheroes it's still good, a lot of action and humor.

I too am a comic book nerd and love what marvel are now trying to do with the one universe thing (Iron Man apparantley has a cameo in the new Hulk movie). I also think Robert Downey Jr was a killer cast in the role of Tony Stark.

I loved it but I'm looking forward to Hulk so much more especially after Ang Lee's appawling take on Hulk.


Everything is true,
God is an astronaut,
Oz is over the rainbow,
and Midian is where the Monsters live...

It was good, good graphics, but the story line was too much of how IronMan came to be. They probably could of packed more arch enemies into the films story line. Could've waited for it to hit dvd.

It had so much of how Iron Man came to be because that's how it was supposed to be. It's the first film in a most likely successful series of films, and because of that it has to explain the origin of Iron Man, because otherwise people would be asking, "how the hell did he build that suit?!" or "how did he get that thing on his chest???". Without a well though-out origin film, we would know nothing about his character and as a result the movie wouldn't have any depth.

But, since the second film should be out in about 2010 or so, with the origin out of the way, they'll add much more to the story (a real villain, more about Tony Stark himself) without the limitations of being an origin film.
