Alright so everyone already agrees that RDJ is tha bomb in this, and I wholeheartedly concur. I could take or leave Gwyneth and Terrence Howard, bur unlike most other reviewers, I liked Jeff Bridges' performance. The story is annoyingly laced with patriotism and an attempt at modernity, but what else does one expect from America's largest "propaganda for the youths" machine?

The movie whips by with a good action pacing, though it is devoid of any significant plot development. The suit is awesome and corresponding action scenes SEEM to fit in this movie's imagined world of physics. The end was a genuine fanboy heart-pumper: the (best) bumper (eva) left me fully excited (AVENGERS!!!!), especially after that awesome ending with Black Sabbath's anthem capping it.

I can't compare this to the comic book, as I always found Iron Man to be boring (and the movie fits that). I do hope Terrence Howard gets dropped from the War Machine role, and that RDJ meets the studio's physical standards for the next installment, as he is a great Tony Stark and funny to see someone so talented and revered as an actor slipped into a cookie cutter superhero role because he makes something otherwise dull, interesting.

Damn awesome, especially visually, but I didn't connect with the characters and humor on any level comparable to how I do with zombedy classics Shaun of the Dead or Return of the Living Dead. I hope they hire me to pen the followup.

Perfect in every way... a timeless blend of comedy and drama.
