Who's seen it? What did you think?

I loved it, best movie I have seen in a very long time.

I really liked it too. Really good acting!

I also enjoyed it but thought the ending was kind of cheesy.

Bottom line though,

Downey Jr. is a bad ####.

a friend of mine is the movie critic for Sin Magazine.

he said that Iron Man is the best superhero movie he has ever seen.

which is a HUGE compliment considering how much he likes superman.

Saw it last night. Loved it. I'm a big superhero movie fan though. And this one does not disappoint. Robert Downey Jr. is phenomenal. Stay through the credits though (warning: they're long), there's a scene at the end.

I've heard good things from people who are comic book fans and from people unfamiliar with the comicbook.

I liked it. Nice neat, tightly written movie.

I worry that we're to getting to the point where it will be oversold, with the inevitable "everybody made it sound like the greatest movie ever made, it sucked because it didn't live up to my expectation"

I'll see it when it hits the dollar theatre.

Went to it opening night and it sold out our theater here in Park Rapids MN and thats a pretty nice accomplishment.

I loved it and my boys thought it rocked! I am kinda pissed that we missed the scene at the end after the credits though, wish I woulda known about that.

I loved it too, Downey was awesome in it. Without his amazing performance the movie would have been very (yawn). Some of the action/special effects were a little lacking but I liked the story and the acting. Good thing those two things are by far the most important things in a movie to me, or I probably wouldn't have liked it.

It possibly is the best superhero movie, but I'm not sure if I'd put it above Batman Begins (can't wait for the sequel.) Other than that and the Xmen trilogy, the superhero movies kind of suck so there isn't much competition. I hated Spiderman, though the sequel was half decent (haven't seen number 3), the newer Superman was a disappointment; and most of the others were between bad and horrible. I didn't mind Daredevil though, even though it wasn't received well by critics or the public.

One of the few superhero movies actually worth owning!

peope like it and said Downey was the highlight
of the movie. Hopefully he can stay drug free
and continue acting ..

Oh, speaking of Robert Downey Jr., if you've never seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with RDJ and Val Kilmer, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. It's hilarious. The writing is great, RDJ is awesome and Kilmer plays a cop called "Gay Perry." If you're a RDJ fan you won't be disappointed.

I thought spiderman 2 and xmen 1 and 3 were good. batman begins was ok...a bit marred by too much camera shaking and rapid cutting.

Welcome to the MTV effect. It has forever ruined good movies and television shows.
