    IMO, one of the best comic book adaptaions. True to origin, Robert Downey Jr, and the character translates well to the big screen via CG. Most of the desert footage was filmed locally (50 miles) from my local. And recent comic geeks, as mentioned, should stay past the credits, if you have any "initiative".....
    Nuff said!

    I collected Marvel comics as a kid. I still have them today. I started in the 60's just after the oirginal editions which are worth $$$$ today.
    I still have some Iron Man comics and am looking forward to seeing the movie.

    Really, really, good.....

    I saw the movie Friday. One of the best super-hero movies, ever. Good script, great acting, and the special effects (especially on the articulation of the armor) are nearly perfect. Worth seeing, oh, 10 or 12 times......

    I had planned to see it because it was supposed to be one of the first movies this year to show the trailer for the new X-Files movie, but now I've heard that preview is being held back awhile longer, so my main motivation for seeing it is gone. It does look cool though, so I may check it out eventually anyway.

    saw the first showing yesterday. it is really frykn good.
    thought the ending could of used a little bit more effort but for the most part it held my attention from start to finish.

    i've never been a comic book guy, and have never really enjoyed the X-men or Fantastic 4 kind of flicks. Even thought the last Superman was pathetic.
    But there was something very believable about this flick. and i'm a huge Favreau fan and i liked the way he directed this.

    I havent seen it yet, but from the hype I am hearing from friends who saw it, it is a must. Guess I'll be dishing out $10 for a movie here soon.

    Oh, and for any other comic geeks out there, with the upcoming Wolverine flick, I "heard" from fairly reliable sources that "Deadpool" (best comic character EVAR!) is gonna cameo. KICK ARSE.... except for the fact that it is rumored that Ryan Reynolds is gonna play him. Anyone else heard otherwise? I would prefer CarrotTop over him.

    I tend to stay away from preproduction rumors and trailers. I like to just sit down and watch a film in the theater without any preconceptions. Kind of difficult these days, but has paid off in the past.
