I am a big fan of comic books, and was always a Marvel kid growing up. Iron Man was never my favorite or most dear of their heroes, but I always loved the concept of shell-head and Tony Stark. To this day, I am a big fan of comic book movies, including super hero movies. All that said, I think this may be the best super hero movie yet. Better than Spider Man, better than the X-Men, better than Batman Begins. They just hit every single mark perfectly. They got Iron Man's power, the basics of his origin, the technological advancements, the idea of villains who steal the Iron Man technology, and so many other things perfectly. Most importantly, though, Downey also nailed the role of "Tony Stark, Billionaire Douchebag" better than I could have possibly imagined. Including Shield agents, and the surprise after the credits, pushed this movie from amazing to awe-inspiring to me. Completely perfect, I can't wait to see it again.
