I've waited over forty years for this movie. I met Tony Stark/Iron Man back in high school, and we became fast friends. I'm sure he doesn't remember me, but I certainly remember him. He saw me through a lot of dark times, including service in the military.
I was so glad to see this film stay so true to the basic story of Iron Man. Let's face it, a lot of the credit for bringing Tony Stark to life goes to Robert Downey, Jr. for his excellent portrayal of the genius/millionaire/playboy that was Tony Stark. The transition from uncaring capitalist businessman to crusader for justice and peace was so well down by Downey.
Credit to the special effects people, the CG folks, and everybody that was not in front of the camera. These people truly brought the Armored One to life for us.
Excellent job by Jeff Bridges as Obie. I began distrusting him from his first scene with Tony.
But, I have to say this, Gwyneth Paltrow was the quintessential Pepper Potts. She was beyond perfect.
However, one of the most enjoyable scenes was when Tony was trying out the second prototype suit (obviously the first prototype was the one he built in the cave) in his lab. The assiting robot arm that was relegated to "fire safety duty" literally stole the show in that scene.
I highly recommend that anyone who can breathe to see this movie. Those of you who are not breathing should go see it too, but I won't put any undue pressure on you.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
