I like comics and superheros, but most of the movies have been underwhelming. Iron Man, however, was not. It was the perfect superhero movie. It balanced camp and seriousness deftly. It didn't condescend the audience with stupid one liners. On the contrary, the dialogue was very sharp, and the comedy was unforced but prevalant. Great eye candy with the effects, but the script is what made this movie great. Kudos to Favreau and Robert Downey Jr for giving us the superhero movie we've all been waiting for.
