Well Ive waited years for this movie to come to life & after finally seeing it certainly didn't dissapoint. Im going to keep this spoiler free as possible. Jon Faverau is to Iron Man is what Sam Raimi was to Spiderman & what Peter Jackson was to LOTR. Under the pressure of launching this franchise & it being Marvels first independent production, he has delivered a game winner & guarenteed crowd pleaser. His writing & acting chops have lent themselves really well to the film & it has heart, while managing a decent range in emotional tone. You can also pick up on his love for improv during a few of the scenes & its those times that really set it apart from your standard SH fare & give it a much snapier feel. As an origin story it ranks up there with Spidermans, perhaps even a little higher from where I sit. All the leads were on fire, especially RDJ - some of my favourite scenes he is by himself, with a few robotic friends. His suggestion of the press conference after his return from Afghanistan to have all the reporters sit down was brilliant & it shows how well the man understands the tone of a scene, I couldn't picture a better way to do it now that Ive actually seen it. The "relationship" between Pepper & Tony had the right chemistry, Terrence Howard was great as the best friend & Bridges outdid himself as the main villain of the piece (I did actually have some doubts he would be able to pull it off, but he was sensational). The character development never took a back seat to spectacle of the action, the balance between the 2 was quite excellent. Even though its set a cracking pace, it never feels rushed...when scenes cut away to others elsewhere, it just feels right & allows you to come back to the previous scene without it feeling forced. Action sequences were stunning & the effects were absolutely top shelf as you would expect with ILM. The final showdown I would have liked to last a little longer but the way it was set up it seemed to play perfectly to the script & it was utterly brutal! I would have prefered the film as a whole to have been a little longer in sections but Im hopeful that will be contained on a Blu-ray version in the future - but for a theatrical release its pretty much spot on. ****1/2 nerdgasms out of 5Also... STAY PAST THE END OF THE CREDITS...you might just see one bad mother fucker.

I saw Iron Man on Friday - all I can say is it was really good. I mean it was non-stop even when there was no massive action - the stars kept the movies going like clockwork and the overall movie was just really well done. You couldn't tell when the costume began and where the cgi ended And there was some great snappy dialog (that got lost a little when the crowd was laughing). The music was great too - Loved every aspect of the movie PS - Stay til the end of the credits because there is a snipit there - unfortunately if you're not a comic fan you won't really grasp what it's significance is but you'll be sure to be interested in why it's so significant and want to learn more - Marvel is lining it up so they are having crossovers of characters - so the new Hulk movie will have a short guest appearance of Tony Stark (Iron Man) etc etc - they are preparing for additional movies with multiple characters It's exciting that they seem to have a real plan and they are really calling out to both long-term fans and movie goers in general. No Dark Knight preview - but a whole lot of other awesome previews Summer Movie Season has officially begun and I'm excited!!!!

I'm so glad to hear this one lived up to all the hype. Definitely another one for my "must see" DVD list.

Just got back from seeing this...absolutely loved it!!!
I think it's one of those films that really has to be seen at the cinema to get the full effect. The audience we were with were fully appreciative and we all gasped and laughed together!
I agree that the scenes with the 'robot' friends were great. Reminded me of the scutters and the DRDs, but bigger (and maybe a touch of Number 5)
There were a couple of smallish children ithere who were a bit scared during some of the scenes. It's not really an under 12s film and I wonder if one of the mums thought it was a remake of the Ted Hughes story!
...and it was definitely worth waiting for the after credits treat!

I loved it. Very funny, and it's refreshing to see a superhero movie with such quick wit. Good slapstick, too. Action was well-done.
My only complaint was a smidgen of politics insertion, but the movie was about a weapons manufacturer, so I saw it coming.
Jeff Bridges was good in it, but he's still the Dude.

Caught a DLP showing the other night. Loved it. Kids thought it was the best comic book movie so far. I have to agree. My only complaint was the use of the Iron Man song was much better in the trailer.
Saw the new Dark Knight trailer and the new Indy trailer, both look great.
