Coming from someone who knew nothing about Iron Man going in, the movie was a bit predictable, but still very enjoyable. Just the right amount of humor, and it didn't drag at all. The movie could have done with a few more action sequences, but I'm not complaining.

I just saw it this afternoon as well, and I too really liked it. I agree with Angel Of Light, in that this was definitely one of the better marvel movies. I thought it was a great first entry and definitely can't to see what Favreau has in mind for the sequel. The whole development of the suit was great, specifically the scene with the thrusters (hmm, that miniatre arc reactor technology he developed might make a good 4th year project). Haha and that bonus scene at the end of the credits, just awesome! Definitely stay after the credits if you're a Marvel fan.

Spoiler:
I love how they went with the Ultimate's (Millar/Hitch's) take on Nick Fury. Oh and bringing SHIELD, along with Fury, into it was just awesome. As well as Fury presenting Stark with the Avengers Initiative. They gotta get cracking on a Captain America and Thor movie now.

Also, I was surprised by the number of great trailers this movie was carrying: Indy 4, The Dark Knight, and The Incredible Hulk (which actually looks pretty good). Iron Man is a great kick off to this summer's line up of movies.

In NZ we had Indy 4, Wanted, Hellboy 2 and Get Smart - all looking rather must-see at this stage. Btw, awesome movie. Better than (dare I say it) Transformers

Definitely a kickass movie. I wouldn't have minded it being a little "darker," but it was alright. Tony Starks is a lil money. So was the stinger:

Osnap, Snakes on a Plane 2... bring it. Eh, I'll admit I was a little throw off by the black Nick Fury, but it's Samuel L. Jackson, son.

I saw it on thursday with a packed crowd and I have to say that this movie was definitely worth the watch.
It did something different than the other marvel movies and thats some awesome humor coming from the main character.
Spoiler:

Hey tony! Tony! Do you remember me! "Sure don't"

It was such a crack up and even tho the "real" iron man made only 3 real appearances, they were long and action packed and incredibly entertaining.
I was surprised at the number of comic geeks in the audience tho especially when stan lee made his regular cameo, they all cheered. And to my surprise, when the guy mentioned SHIELD at the end, there was also a cheer for them.
I didn't stick around for the end credits but I know it involved samuel jackson and the avengers. It's not that I didn't know not to stick around but I didn't have time to.


I can't wait to see what the do with part 2. Marvel movies usually do better for the sequels except for the third part (ie x-men 2, spiderman 2)

There is one strange thing I did not notice about iron man. I probably should of included it in my original post. Its probably nothing or maybe just a horrible coincidence.

When tony stark was getting ready to go into one of the buildings and in the front of the building there was a statue of a fighter jet. I couldn't help but notice the lettering on the tail wing of that statue. It said YF-22, the reason that name sounds so familiar to me, and maybe to a few anime fans as well is that it is name of one of the macross fighters from macross plus.

I thought nothing of it until I actually seen the statue of the jet which actually showed some resemblences to the shape of the original YF-22. Its probably nothing, it could of been a horrible coincidence or maybe someone in the movie was a macross fan. I just thought I would point that out in case if anybody missed it if it is valid of course.

Well, the YF-22 was an actual prototype plane back in the 90's so it's probably not an anime reference.

Sorry, buddy. The YF-22 was the prototype designation for the F-22 Raptor. Back then, it was called the Lightning II (The F-35 now holds this name, actually). It was the winning design for the Advanced Tactical Fighter program against the YF-23, waaaaaay back in the early 90s.

While I haven't seen the movie yet, the statue is more than likely representitive of this prototype.

It could also be commemorative of the crash of one of the prototypes that occured after the contract was awarded (the pilot survived, though), although I'm unsure if a real statue exists as a memorial to that event, seeing as how no one perished. It's far more likely that it's just a statue representing the prototype in general.

Either way, it's more likely it's that than any reference to Macross. Sorry Charlie.

Thats alright, I wasn't really familiar with military aircraft. Its just when I seen the aircraft for the first time and the lettering for it, its the first thing that came to mind, but thanks for clearing that up - greatly appreciate it. I learn something new everyday.

Just remember guys, stay until the end of the credits. You'll be in for a "surprise."

Spoiler:

Samuel L. Jackson. Enough said.


And Avengers.

Just saw it again this evening, and noticed this:
Spoiler:
Did anyone else notice that during first flight of Mark II, as he was ascending upwards that the Blackbird appeared on Stark's HUD? Heh, this is no doubt a nod towards the X-Men. Also during the credits, I noticed that one of the suits had a gatling gun attached to the shoulder which is obviously nodding to War Machine.

Just saw it (yeah, a bit late...), and what can I say. It IS the best marvel movie up to now.

Spoiler:
The Blackbird was there when he asked his AI for the altitude record, so I doubt it was an actual nod to the X-Men.
I'm not too sure about Warmachine, being not really into the Iron Man comics, I thought the Dude's suit was supposed to be that thing. Or a prototype or something...
