Saw Iron Man today, loved it. Robert Downey Jr., is without a doubt the living embodiment of Tony Stark.
The cameo at the end was cool too.
BTW, this is Juliet3:16. I'm operating on a gameban.

Estimated $50.5 Million intake for it's 2nd weekend. Bringing it's total to about $177 million domestically. Not bad at all. Lets see how it does against Prince Caspian and Indiana Jones 4 over the next 2 weeks.

Just saw it today. An extremely fun movie.
I am intrigued by the sequel. It will have to be a very different format, because this movie was more origin story than any other superhero movie I've seen. The vast majority of it was him working on the suit. He seems to be pretty much done with building it, so that can't be in the sequel. I guess they'll mix the drinking storyline with The Avengers in addition to fighting another baddie.
Robert Downey Jr. was great.

What did everyone think of that final battle? I really think it was the movie's Achilles heal. It was cartoony and Bridges was reading Saturday Morning dialogue. Is it just me or was anyone else disapointed by this?

The actual physical fighting was okay. After half a movie of seeing the awesome-hardcore-indestructibleness of the suit (more or less), it was cool for Stark to finally meet a worthy match.
However, I agree that Obadiah's dialogue was downright cringeworthy. "I see you have made some modifications to your suit. Well I have made some modifications of my own!" It was so cheesy, not badass at all, and just gave too much of the impression of boys playing with their toys.
Seriously. The guy sounded like such a nerd, saying that his modifications were clearly superior to Stark's. 
It's too bad, because before that, he was a pretty awesome villain.

I thought once Stone had to open up the suit, his dialogue was a little more believable. But when he started off, it was really like Megatron where as Iron Man still sounded human.

Really good movie, saw it last night.
I was concerned about Robert Downey Jr. in the role, but after last night, I think it was a great role for him. He was perfect.
I like Jeff Bridges as a villain, but yeah, I don't think a science fiction villain is his strong suit either.

But, in a way, he is a nerd. They both are. I mean, they're engineering geniuses! They gotta be a little nerdy.

Granted, I've never read the comics, so all I know of Obadiah is the impressions I got from the movie, but it struck me that the Starks were the engineering brains of the operation, while Obadiah was more of an economic brain.
Plus smart doesn't always mean nerdy.

IIRC In the comics Stane was a competitor who took Stark Industries out from underneath Tony and started using his tech against him, though I admit ignorance on the whole story.

I'll just say that I put Iron Man in the category with X-men (1&2), Spider-Man (1&2), & Batman Begins... Not with Dare Devil, The Hulk, or Fantastic Four...
The Thing after the credits was frakin' badass.

Star Wars author Dan Wallace pointed out something rather amusing in his blog, about a certain casting decision (spoilers for the after-credits scene.)
Heh.

I enjoyed it more than The Hulk. The PS3 game is just like the movie, but has more interaction with the movie scenes than the actual movie did, if that makes sense.

He's only just discovered that?? Thats a joke that's amused fans since it was leaked who would be playing Fury. Its nothing new or really shocking.
