Iron Man is good, but not awesome. The film is fun, picking up the pace about midway through, but has frequent "storyline stops" you could say. It actually made the film start to feel like a setup for the next sequel rather than a standalone film. Scarlett Johansson is a fabulous addition, and Mickey Rourke is spot on. The action scenes (though few), the special effects, music, and character interplay are great-I just prefer more action in summer films.
