When I started writing up this blog again the first entry was actually the last Iron Man, so I really wanted to make sure that I saw this one in the theatre. It's only been the last few years that I've gotten into comics, and not really the super-mainstream stuff, so I never knew a whole hell of a lot about Iron Man, but I really enjoyed the first film. It had a real sense of fun to it. Downey was born for this role and it feels really good and interesting on him. I was entertained the entire time, but I don't think I was ever really blown away by anything here, from characters, to story elements, fights, etc... it was all just... enjoyable, but at the same time I don't feel like I'll ever need to re-watch these films, even though I'll always make sure to see them. I guess my biggest critique of this is that it kind of feels a bit like it's all just one big set-up to The Avengers. I'll be happy to see a third Iron Man without them feeling the need to use the film to intro new characters. If you liked the first film there's absolutely no reason to not see this.
