Solid!

Iron Man is a solid movie that does not suffer from copious indescrepancies between the comic book and the movie. It all transitions very well, with the CG effects being seamless and very realistic. The acting is great, not coming off as overdone at all, in my opinion. Robert Downey, Jr. excels in the role of Tony Stark, and Jeff Bridges shows great range as the main villain.
The story itself is very well done, I must say, as I am usually somewhat dissatisfied with Marvel films.
That said, what I didn't like about the movie was they did not give Iron Man too much flight or fight time. When Stark WAS in the suit, though, it rocked so much house that I was dying for more. The fight scenes were well orchestrated, but again ... just not enough of it. Iron Man ruins his enemies so fast that it doesn't leave a lot of time left for extra badassery.
Now, the suit. The suit is done superlatively. The repulsor blasts from Iron Man's hands were great, the flight and control of the suit was done very well, and the overall look of it was just like Iron Man jumped off the page and onto the screen. Very real, very believable.
SPOILER BELOW!
The kicker comes at the end of the flick when Iron Man is approached by Samuel L. Jackson playing Nick Fury mentioning an "Avenger Initiative." Obviously room for a sequel here.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
