Saw "Iron Man" last night.
WOW.
Seriously, I would have to put this at the top of the "best comic book movies ever" list, it was that good. It was VERY faithful to the comics (aside from Stark getting injured in Afghanistan, and not Vietnam, but it was very timely).
The performances were top notch. Robert Downey Jr IS Tony Stark; the womanizing, boozing, uber-mind of the tech set. Gwyneth Paltrow does a bang up job as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts, and Jeff "The Dude" Bridges is the evil Obediah Stane. Man, he plays a great bad guy. Can't leave out Terrance Howard as James Rhodes, who, as comicgeeks'll know, is War Machine in the comics, and I have to say, there's a little War Machine tease in the flick that made me smile.
Stan Lee's cameo? Brilliant.
The FX were STELLAR.
I will see this again, probably a few more times before "Indiana Jones IV" rolls around, and I urge EVERYONE to do the same.
