having been an avid Iron Man reader as a kid in the late '70's early 80's, I thought this movie rocked. Downey is a perfect tony stark..whiplash was a great character with Mickey Rourke..the weakest point in the movie was the Justin Hammer character... he is very strong in the comics, but the movie protrayed him as an idiot. Would have liked more daylight fight scenes, but the effects were spectacular.
