I enjoyed every bit of it.
Ironman is a well balanced action flick. It had a simple but relevant plot, it had humor, it had cool tech scene, smooth CG, more humor ... and though it was a good 2 hours long, it didn't feel long at all.
Tony Stark, sells weapons big time, gets caught by terrorist who wants his help with weapons, he doesn't just give in, and soon controversy reveals and a eventually very nice looking Ironman (looked better than in the animation or comics).
Here's my flick-meter's readings:
Rating :
8.5 out of 10 flicks
Best Part :
Ironman's first complete full body assembly, marvelous. Kinda reminds me of the Starcraft 2 announcement CGI movie. I could just watch this part over and over again.
Worst Part :
Too short a final confrontation sequence.
Should Have :
I can't think of any immediate ones, other than a longer final battle sequence ; twice as long with more brains vs. brawn tactics thrown in.
For Keeps :
Get the DVD when it's out, even if there are no extras (but who am I kidding, of course there be extras). One of the best Marvel to big screen adaptations, even if you think Spiderman is the only true hero in the Marvel world.
Sequel :
Can't wait. But for now, you Marvel fans, look out for The Incredible Hulk, not the 2003 one. Can't get enough of Marvel ? See if The Avengers eventually hits the big screens.
I had a wonderful Labour Day break, thank you ; Marvel, Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr. and gang. You know I actually had to sell 2 of my spare tickets to strangers before watching this movie :)

Stay tuned until after the credits for some indication of, aforementioned, The Avengers, and an appearance by another star/character related to Ironman, but didn't appear in the entire movie, until this last bit.
