Quite a nice movie. Clearly a first part in which a story is being built up for probably many sequels....
A few new gadgets, a bit long-winded at times, decent special effects, a fun Robert Downey Jr., and especially Gwyneth Paltrow!

Top-notch entertainment. The film features a few good jokes, a selection of well-cast actors (Downey as Sparks was amazing 
), some bombastic action scenes, and the CGI in the film was unsurpassed. However, the story is quite simple and gets off to a rather slow start due to the special attention paid to the production of the suit. This, in turn, is very fascinating to watch. Entertaining.
3.5*

Delightful sci-fi with special effects just as cool as in Thor, also a Marvel adaptation. The simple plot leaves plenty of room for a few excursions into the clouds and even higher than that. It was great to see the suit when it was hooked up in a supersonic manner, and it looked amazingly realistic when it moved. Robert Downey is the perfect man for this rather wacky character, Terrence Howard has a nice supporting role, and the rest did a fine job too. It is very nice that the focus is primarily on the action and not on the sentimental stuff.
