I also enjoyed Iron Man and I’m not even a superhero movie fan.
IMO much of the credit (like 90%) goes to Robert Downey Jr and his amazing acting… He makes a predictable story line an interesting one. I really loved the first half of the movie and, then, his moments alone in the lab. I really cannot imagine such a good movie without him.
As to Paltrow: still blah, as always. Jeff Bridges is better, but his character is badly developed by the end (for God sake, couldn’t they write a better fight scene?).
Indeed recommended.

Indeed the end fight scene could be better, but then again I think they tried not to use the “risen phoenix” formula to many times… 😉 I guess it was more “real” and humane the way it ended.

To tell you the truth I think the end scene was a lazy one.

Well, I am a fan of the paper genre and was quite annoyed at the long past really shitty movie adaptations (with one exception or two).
Ever since Spiderman and X-Men came to the big screen, though, I came to get new hopes, now there are a couple of bad exceptions (“I don’t even now the characters” Daredevil or Elektra), but it seems they were accidents.
I must admit I had low expectations for Iron Man. I didn’t even notice the time fly and only felt wanting for more… Man, even SHIELD!
As the OP said, there is more to come for… well you can see it for yourself here:

But that’s still way far off. Much sooner than that we’ll be watching Robert “Tony Stark” Downey Jr. again, playing the same character in the upcoming Hulk movie (which can be checked at IMDB).

With Iron Man and Hulk on their way, plus “Ultimate-version” Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson hinting at The Avengers Initiative… I suspect that’s partially a reference to what happened after last year’s Civil War at MARVEL.
This partially scares me because if it’s easier to get a good story focused on a main character, it is not so easy to do so with so many main characters. X-Men did it, but kind of lost touch in the last of the three movies.

Well… my guess is that at the end of the new Hulk we’ll see a something like that hinting to the Avengers movie. The question is: who will pick for the Avengers? And will Marvel make more movies to introduce those characters to the audience? I’m crossing my fingers for a Captain America and a Thor movie! 😀
