Good ... ish

I wanted to absolutely love this movie, but overall, it was just okay for me. The movie definitely shines in spots, and Harrison Ford does a great job as usual, but for every part that reaches greatness, another part falls flat. The first few minutes made me wonder if I was actually watching an Indiana Jones movie and had me scratching my head. The CG effects looked completely phoned-in and were not convincing - I mean come on, Indiana Jones is back - could we get some better effects?! The last few scenes were bizarre to me, and seemed a bit out of place for the franchise, but I suppose they could grow on me in time. I would say, see this movie once, but don't expect the greatness of the originals - you'll very likely be disappointed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best Superhero Movie in a Long Time

Now this is what I'm talkin' about! Action, humor, suspense and ATTENTION TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL - go figure, the movie turned out great!
Robert Downey Junior takes the role of Tony Stark and runs with it - you could tell he was having a blast, and why shouldn't he? A billionaire with limitless resources and a brand new save-the-world attitude.
A couple of liberties were taken as far as source material goes, but most of them made sense - seeing Stark captured in Vietnam obviously wouldn't have worked, so no real gripes there.
Longtime fans won't be disappointed and there are little nods peppered throughout the entire movie for those readers out there. Terrence Howard is obviously itching to get into his own suit of armor - "Next time, baby. Next time."
Whether you're a fan of the comic or didn't hear about Iron Man until last week, see this movie!
