I saw it Friday night.A really well done comic book flick.I wouldnt put it in the same class as Spiderman II or Batman Begins,but nice character development,an actual story,real actors,and wonderful special effects.A few people complained that there wasnt enough action,but its an origin story,so more time has to be spent setting the stage.
Oh,and be sure to stay until after the credits.A real doozy.

Saw it last night. Excellent, excellent comic book flick. Downey was great. And I saw the trailers for a number of other movies that look great, including M. Night Shama (can't spell)'s The Happening and the Edward Norton Hulk movie. Plus if the movie is half as funny as the trailer, Mike Myer's Love Guru will be well worth seeing.

I was expecting more action too, but it is an "origin" story and it was very well done. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

...and Gwyneth Paltrow was HOT!

We saw it Tuesday night ...
I grew up reading my cousin's comics back in the late 60s & early 70s - so I wanted to see it on a big screen - we caught the digital theatre version here in Fairfax. I thought it was lotsa fun, the update to the gulf war was nicely done, and Downey was perfect! Even Bridges playing a villain was a hoot.
Much better than the mess that was the FF movies (or Ang Lee's Hulk!)

... and the Samuel L. Jackson teaser at the end - MAN! Looking forward to THAT!
(I've gotta wash my mind out everytime I remember that David Hasselhoff fury TV-Movie ...ugh!)

I did like Jackson in "Unbreakable" (even bought it on DVD!) but have been let down with every Shyamalan movie ever since ...

We saw it last night and I liked it. I had never heard of Ironman comics so, I did not know what to expect. This movie has received many good reviews.

Pretty good entertainment, but nothing really knew in there, if you ask me. In fact too much "dejá vu " IMHO, from the story to the production.

We´ve gotten used to Hollywood´s amazing special effects on many a production in recent years, so I couldn´t help but feel I was watching a mix of Spiderman ( the flying sequences ) and Transformers ( the robot fight ).

I agree Downey´s acting is very good. It´s cool to watch one´s childhood heros so well portrayed.

What I really enjoyed was once again watching that most classy of present day Hollywood actresses, Gwineth Paltrow. Not he prettiest, not the sexiest, but IMO definitely the classiest.

My son and I saw it yesterday. I have got to echo all of the previous poistive comments. Good story-Good acting and it did not live on it s CGI/special effects. I have to admit I was extremely sceptical of Downey as the lead but he pulls off very well and created a believable character.

We saw it yesterday. Very enjoyable. I've always had a problem suspending my disbelief in these kinds of movies. And the "science" in this was just sooo far out...but I guess I've got to get over that.

I was intrigued that he doesn't keep his identity a secret. The opposite of most all other superheroes. Is this true to the original comic?

I caught this friday. First movie I've seen at the theater since Walk The Line and I'd have to say it was well worth going.

They are planning another Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and then an Avengers movie with everyone together.

Really a great movie. Much more depth than the average comic book adaption. This could really go somewhere. Nice to seem some serious actors doing this kind of work too.

However, good as it was, and I did really enjoy it, Speed Racer was mind blowing. Simply unreal!
