From previews and reviews I didn't know exactly what to expect from Iron Man except great visual effects. There WERE great effects. But the story, called slow-paced by some, had from beginning to end enough action, comedy, drama, and active story to keep the interest of even the smallest fraction fan-part in us entertained. You can tell the people who put Iron Man together were big fans of the comic, and did justice to it. Great Representation, fellas!
