Saw it last night, and... :shock:
... made of awesome.

I'm not a comic aficionado, but they seemed to get everything right. Drama, tension, amazing action scenes, great effects that aren't intrusively flashy, and Rob as Tony Stark is perfect casting. He does the transition from arrogant but likable jerk to arrogant but likable jerk with a heart, without making it seem corny. And he has a sarcastic computer.

The plot doesn't really stand up to scrutiny, but hey, it's a comic book movie.

If Iron Man does not do this at any point in the movie, then the entire film is a god damn fraud.

Man I'm glad I can really want to watch a film, but be able to resist the need to dash out the second it's available :)

I expect to like it a lot, but I was even able to contain myself for Lord of the Rings.


I'm actually excited to see it again saturday morning.

At least then I'd never have to think about my parents jamming.

Your parents make jam? That's kickass, like, grape? or mebbe strawberry.

I dunno, I've never been a huge comic book fan I guess because I had some friends who tried to force that stuff upon me, and somehow I never found it all that great...bunch of sweaty guys in tights |:

But this does look interesting, will be checking it out and probably Hellboy 2 when that comes out.

ZOMG! I just got home from watching it. (They've been doing construction around my apt building. Something about some new service and the people had been running jackhammers around here all day in preparation for installation or something. Annoying, noisy shit. So when my bf came home to all the noise, he suggested we escape it and go see Iron Man.) It was extremely awesome. Nice to see them not completely fucking up all the comic greats nowadays. Great shit! There was just a great balance of everything. Action, drama, humor, tech/mechness. 'Twas teh awesome. :up: *^_^*

[spoiler]it was revealed that Tony was being brainwashed by Kang, dictator of the year 5000. His attempts to resist the brainwashing were what caused his alcoholism But now it had fully taken hold, and he was helping to destroy the Avengers from within and crush all opposition to his rule.

Obviously, there was only one man to stop a genius like Tony Stark--Reed Richards!

...er, obviously, there were only two men to stop a genius like Tony Stark--Reed Richards and Victor von Doom!

...er, obviously, there were only five men to stop a genius like Tony Stark--Reed Richards, Victor von Doom, Henry Pym, Bruce Banner, and Professor Charles Xavier!

...er, obviously, there were actually something like twenty men and sixteen women to stop a genius like Tony Stark, including but not limited to She-Hulk, Jean Grey, the Beast, Doctor Strange, Dracula, and Magneto, but the Avengers decided to borrow a time machine, travel back a decade or two, and grab a younger version of Tony Stark out of the past and pit him against his older, more experienced, savvier self. Who was also wearing a suit of far-more-technologically-advanced power armor that young Tony hadn't even dreamed of yet, let alone invented. And who'd been brainwashed into being a ruthless killer.

The fight went about as well as you'd expect--young Tony took a repulsor blast to the chest, and wound up on the brink of death within about the first fifteen seconds. Luckily this jumpstarted old Tony's conscience, and he sacrificed his life stopping Kang's scheme. The Avengers nursed young Tony back to health (save for the fact that he now had to wear a giant metal corset non-stop or he'd die instantly of heart failure), and suggested that he join the Avengers in the present day rather than return to his native time and live a long, healthy life.
