Well well, what can I say? Most of the story elements kept true to the content in the comics. And the way it was portrayed, it did not disappoint. Kudos to Downey for bringing Tony Stark alive in the big screen. From the playboy industrialist tycoon to the self-righteous superhero he become later, the expressions, the character, it was just simply awesome.

Next up, about all the nifty high-tech stuffs that you can find in Stark’s state-of-the-art home. Simply marvelous. But I kinda think shouldn’t he have a separate “playground” for test runs or whatever. I know he is rich and all, but wouldn’t it be kinda shitty if you destroy something whenever you set the repulsor levels too high or something. And he seemed to have some fun blasting his lab when he got the repulsors working the way he wanted. Oh yeah, I think J.A.R.V.I.S. is pretty cool too, except the fact that it thinks any accident must consequently result in fire or something, or at least massive amounts of heat.

About the armored suit, I don’t blame Rhodes for wanting to play Iron Man too. Haha, if I could, I would also like to try one of those badass suit. and go vroom vroom and pew pew pew. It is damn bloody cool, something which is probably out of the league of anyone in our present timeline, or so I think. For the antagonist, all I can say is… imitation ain’t always the best course of action, and ermz, bigger doesn’t mean better… lolz

And to all who watched the little extra after the credits, well, you will see someone who is a bigshot of S.H.I.E.L.D. It opens up the way for a sequel, which is in fact, already in the plans. Oh yea, Downey will cameo as Tony Stark in The Incredible Hulk as well, as part of the unified marvel universe :)

tatata!
