I thought the movie was great. It did have its slow points and I thought the “reveal” about Tony’s kidnapping was a bit cliched. However, it really nailed the character. You’ve got to have scenes of him working on the suit. That’s the key to Iron Man. He’s the hero who’s always improving his powers. I even liked the part about him not being “sentimental”. This is the guy who’s in the habit of rebuilding his old armors.

I also liked that they kept the CGI to a minimum with the Mark I armor. It really came off clunky, as it should.

As for the drinking problem, he wasn’t a recovering alcholic in his origin. That came later, so I see no problem with it being addressed in a later film. I can see him having a lot of pressure. He still has to rebuild the company with its new focus and face whatever problems Iron Man will.

I, like Adam, am a DC fan through and through, but I still found this movie thoroughly enjoyable. And, that last little bit at the end with the introduction of a ‘larger’ Marvel Universe in the films was fantastic …

marvel doing their own stuff on the silver screen, stroke of genious. now we’ll finally have a true comic book feel in the movies with all the crossovers and cameos.

as long as they don’t use brett ratner anymore, we’re all good

I’m a ‘DC for Life’ guy, and I really really liked this movie. I don’t have anything against Marvel, I loved them when I was a kid, but I’m a little mad that they seem to be kicking DC’s ass when it comes to movies.

Why?

The only good, recent, DC movie was Batman Begins. They can’t even get all the other franchises off the ground. And now, with the last little teaser clip at the end of Iron Man, Marvel has done the smartest thing I’ve seen in comic book movies; making all their movies inhabit the same universe.

Having SHIELD involved, however minutely, in all their newer films is a master stroke. Can they pull their “Avenger Initiative’ off? Who knows. But, that they have the balls to try is just fantastic.

So, why, oh why, can’t DC get their $hit together and do it right?

Answers…..anyone….

I generally like RDJ in most movies, and he is really charismatic in this role. Seems perfect as Stark. I have no doubts that a sequel will come out. Downey and Favreau have already talked about wanting to tackle the “demon in the bottle” storyline, but Marvel wanted an origin picture first. My only real complaint with the film is how closely it sticks to the origin format. It works here, but that structure is going to get old with subsequent superhero movies, I think.

I only read Iron Man sparingly but have read Avengers for a long time. The problem with Iron Man is that he doesn’t have many awesome villians (Hulk has this problem too. Batman and Spider-Man have a tremendous amount of great villians, which makes them franchise characters). I hope they can make IM II with a compelling villian (and Rhodes as either the stand-in IM or War Machine).

I saw the post-credits scene coming since I had hear about that cameo. Still, it really does set up the Marvel film universe in an interesting (though, perhaps, very difficult to achive) way.
