Very Enjoyable

This movie definitley had "Bourne Trilogy" overtones. Very entertaining. Ms Jolie is very believable as a female lead in and action movie. Could be the start of a "franchise" role. I'd definitely see the sequel.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was HORRIBLE!!! Even the 3D was unimpressive. I'm wondering if I saw the same movie as those rating it 4-5 stars.
The storyline is drastically different than the 80s version, and the storyline is weak. There's this buildup to the "release of the Kraken", and the Kraken does very little. The most redeeming thing about my experience is that I didn't drag my wife with me. I'd never hear the end of it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Overall this was an outstanding movie and well worth the price and time. The only criticisms I would have is that the the initial build up was a tad long, but I can understand why. I'm 51 and used to read Iron Man comics as a kid. But I know that the vast majority of young people - the primary target for these movies - know little about this superhero. Consequently, there's a lot of time spent on building up the character's origin. But even that had it's suspenseful and eventful moments.
The end got kind of campy, but still good. Besides that village scene, fighter jet scene, and end battle; there wasn't as much Iron Man action as I would have liked - but it left you hungery for the sequel.
RD Jr was an ourstanding choice for Tony Stark. His protrayal in the role was just as I'd imagined Stark to be from my comic book knowledge. He may have just created a new franchise role for himself. Bottom line, a GREAT way to start off the (almost) summer blockbuster parade. A tough act to follow.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
