Without any knowledge of backstory of the Ironman, I went into the movie in a way most of the population will. Movies dedicated to the fanbase are great, but movies made so anybody can enjoy are far better, and this was the case here. Great story, with the usual unexpected twist or two, plenty moments to crack a smile, however not many lines to quote after the movie has ended. Characters were on par and stars are plenty. One of the best movies seen this year, and the best of the genre seen in years. Batman, Spiderman, Ghostrider and other superhero movies made lately are nowhere near the entertainment value I got out of this movie. First spiderman would come in a distant second. With a sequel in the making already and the movie hitting all the right buttons at the box office, this one is definitely worth seeing and buying on DVD after. :thumb The Critics: B+ My grade - **8.5/10** ---

I’m not a comic guy by any means but alot of these movies are “ok” to me, latest batman(begins) was pretty good. However this movie got my attention since day one and I’m ansy to go see it in theaters. Sort of like The Rocketeer meets Transformers to me, both of which are excellent movies so this one has to be great :nod Looking to go see it in a week or so once the crowds die down. I hate packed theaters… ---

Was a great movie, to say the least. Since my girl works at the movies, we have seen a bunch of movies, and this tops it for all these movies that have shitty endings and stuff ---
