superhero, mending his ways after he's taken captive and sees firsthand the devastation his weapons cause.

gosh the trailers must be misleading, It looks like he's taking on the jihadists after the capture him in Afghanistan.

After suggesting either ‘Iron Man’ or ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’, we ended up at the very adolecent and forgettable, latter film.

If watching “adults” behave as 13 year olds is entertaining to you, feel free to dismiss my review.

It contains a lot of very uncomfortable, sexual, “comedy”.

I thought it was great. A rarity, it depicted Afghan "Taliban-like" terrorists as the bad guys (no "Allah-Akbar" shouts, though), rather than the classic white-European-male

If you see it, be sure to stick around through the credits of the final scene after the credits complete. Tony Stark walks into his house and Nick Fury, boss of SHIELD (played by Laurence Fishburne) is waiting there to talk to him about getting involved in the "Avengers Project"

It should be a great movie. Marvel directly producing it should make their movies even truer to the comic books.

I’ll look forward to the DVD release.

The film previews that I have seen seem to indicate that the film is true to the actual comic book introduction (updated) which I remember fondly.

Glad to see Downey having some success.

Another tiresome telling of “Business Is Evil!” movies with some good eye candy. John Hurt is completely wasted. Downey does well off the sauce. The story is especially laughable for its completely ignoring such basic forces as inertia, aerodynamics, and gravity.

This looks like an exact copy of the animated version that came out a year or so ago.

Is the title track Black Sabbath’s original “Iron Man?”
