Now this is what happens when Marvel keeps the produciton in house and doesn't allow a story to be changed for "hollywood" effect. This wasn't just a great sci-fi/comic fan film, it was a great film all around. Having Favreau behind the controls on this one was genius, an avid fan, his direction through this film was masterful and kept us all so involved. Sometimes after a film when the door is left open for spin-offs and sequels, one can be a little worried that the orginal vision will be lost, but seeing the makings of more Iron-Man films and subsequently an Avengers film, I cannot wait for what these guys have in store next.
