Iron Man - hurry up with the Blu Ray please!

- lives up to the hype. at the end, I couldn't help feeling just a tad bit unsatisfied. blame the trailer for giving away too much of the action scenes. but let's not nit pick - Ironman is a very nice way to kick off the summer blockbuster season.
- Robert Downey Jr well casted (I'm mixed on Gwyneth & Terence)
- 2 hr Audi commercial although not as in-your-face as GM/Ford was in Transformers
- Iron Man suit well designed and kicks some serious ass. coolest piece of gear ever!
- CGI on Iron man blended well with the live action (similar to Transformers)
- there are some really neat ideas here on the "future home"
- Stan Lee cameo is funny & nice foreshadow of War Machine
- not as emotionally resonant as Spiderman 2 but that's ok
- bring on the sequel! next film: will Starkes perform "upgrades" and give himself powers like Uni-beam? Starkes succumbs to alcoholism - will Rhodes (Howard) have a bigger role as War Machine? Will the sequel introduce The Mandarin?
- my new top 3 superhero movies
1) Spiderman 2
2) Iron Man
3) four way tie among X-men 2, Superman (original), Daredevil Director's Cut, and Batman Begins.
