this is probably the best marvel comic movie so far. i can see why it enjoyed the 10th-best three-day opening ever for a movie introduction. robert downey jr is a perfect fit for tony stark, the arrogant, rich, genius engineer, with just enough humor to keep the movie in perspective as a comic book story. the effects are great, yet don’t detract from the story line, and i was on the edge of my seat through out. even the music was flawlessly chosen and placed. two thumbs up.
