Just saw Iron Man and WOW!! Robert Downey, Jr. has come a long way, both professionally and personally, and it shows with this movie. Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and the support cast did an outstanding job; and I did not know Jeff Bridges could play a convincing bad guy. I agree that the maybe first 30 minutes were ever so slightly slower than the rest of the movie, but then BANG - it's off to the races. Great story, great action, great CGI, and great acting. We are sooooooo looking forward to IM2!!!!!
