I Am Iron Man
The movie, overall, was solid. They didn’t add any cheezy humor (or not humor) with Iron Man using powers to do stupid things (yes I’m refering to the cheeziness of Fantastic 4). The suit looked sweet, and not very CG, which is good.
I thought Robert Downey Jr did an excellent job. His character was very confident and entertaining.
(Spoiler, kinda)
The movie definitely gave hints of sequal. Possibly War Machine and Avengers stuff happening in the future. Make sure to sit through the credits to see the bonus scene.
(Spoiler over)
I would probably see this movie twice. My brother in law and I saw it on Friday night. We were comparing the movie to other comic book movies that are already out. I came to the conclusion that it would be in my top 3 of comic book movies (Xmen and Spider Man are a part of that top 3). Keep in mind that I haven’t seen every comic movie out there, and that I’m mostly talking about the Marvel and DC films.
Anyway, go see it. It’s worth it.

I saw this movie now a third time, and it was still cool that time around. I’ll be buying this as soon as its out. Looking at the balance of action to comedy to plot exposition, I don’t think they could have done a better job. The opening kicked ass, their were kick ass moments all throughout the movie, and the ending left you hungry for more
