     I simply cannot say enough good things about "Iron Man".  The cvasting is suberp, especially Downey as Tony Stark.  Plenty of action to satisfy the die-hard fan...truly a must see.

  I am checking this out on Saturday. I am still not convinced on Downey Jr playing Tony Stark but I'll reserve judgment until I see the film.

I grew up with the alcoholic, troubled Tony Stark so Downey should know that, lol...  and he's a terrific actor too.

Everything I've heard about this is very positive, and that's been from comics fans who haven't been too thrilled with most of the Marvel movies.  Going with my son tomorrow...

     There have been minor changes in the storyline from the comics - but nothing that makes a great deal of difference....I don't remember Pepper from the comic books, however...

Pepper was part of the original supporting cast back when Iron Man first started in comics in the '60's.

Very Good, One of the Best Comic Movies Ever.  The  Scene  after the Credits is unbelievable. HHW

Darn straight it was!  I'd love to think that this was a clue at the direction a sequel will go.

I saw Iron Man tonight at the drive in with my wife, daughter and son. They had a deal were you buy a 10 ticket book for $50 . To sweeten the pot they let my son in for free tonight. So I have 7 tickets left, which means we'll get a 3rd film, I'll have to pay for a ticket again for him. He's 6 years old so that will only be another $4. So for $54 I'll be able to take my whole family to Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and Dark Knight this summer.Throw in the chance we may actually want to see the 2nd movie at one of the showings thats a great bargian. We didnt stay tonight for Drillbit Taylor however ,blame us :o?  Iron Man will hit netflix/home video in Oct btw.
Anyway back on topic. Iron Man was fantastic. It was faithful to the books, good story, well acted, great fx, a near perfect superhero movie. It's THE superhero movie to beat now, and it set the bar high indeed. It knocked Spidey2 out of the top spot for me. It wasnt just a great superhero movie mind you. It was a really good film on any terms.

There was a lot more humour than I expected, but it didn't seem forced like it did in Transformers.  The fx were better, too.

This movie sucked. It was nothing like the song. They totally left out the part where Ironman kills the people he once saved.
