I know next to nothing about Iron Man, except from what Marvel Ultimate Alliance has taught me. I love the way it opens and the montage of cool things… but I didn’t really think Iron Man flying around in the clouds was a good way to end it. It felt like it sucked the wind out of everything. To me, it wasn’t a “oh cool” moment, it was a dude flying around in the clouds. For Iron Fans, I’m sure that was awesome, but to me who’s about to see a flick about dragons destroying LA, it seemed almost table stakes for a superhero flick. And then, as if seeing it once for a long period of time wasn’t “cool” enough, it does it again.
But I have high hopes because Downey may have finally found his late in life niche.

This may be the second greatest super hero movie ever made. Opening my jaded heart wide open for this one.
