Saw this tonight, and it's just frigging fantastic.

RDJ embraces Tony Stark. Since Stark is cocky, sarcastic, and a drunk, it probably wasn't a whole lot of "acting" on RDJ's part, but he knocked it out of the park. Probably go check this one out with my brother again soon.

[Potential SPOILERS] Some of the subtle touches, like the terrorists working for "ten rings" set up the sequel perfectly. If you don't know how that relates to Iron Man, you've got some reading to catch up on.[/Potential SPOILERS]

Side note: Looking at that list of Marvel movies that all currently say "2009" as their release, doesn't it seem like Marvel's spreading themselves a bit thin? I'm sure some will slip to 2010 or after, but even if 6 of the 8 right now come out next year, that's a Marvel movie every 2 months. Seems like they're kind of flooding the market.

(Also, Ant Man? Thanks but no to thanks, I think I'm good without the feature film based on a C-list Avenger, even if it's Wash from Firefly rumored to play him. Get Captain America and Thor done so they can do the damned Avengers flick.)

 Companies often buy the rights to the movie without actually planning on making them anytime soon.  So, in reality, these movies could be stretched out over a few more years, or perhaps never even made.

But I do think they're setting up for a string of related movies...Incredible Hulk comes out in a month, after all.
