so yes it is one of the best superhero movies ever, it's competition is really only Batman 1 (generally overrated though) and Batman Begins. Batman's 2 and 3 were decent as well with 3 being vastly underrated (although nowhere close to the awesomeness of the others on this list) along with 2 not getting the just praise it deserves, but still blowing away 3.
As far as decent superhero movies the X-Mens and Superman Returns were better than I thought they were going to be and worth watching... ehh once; I wouldn't buy any of them on DVD though or necessarily stop on the channel if they're on cable. The rest all suck.... not that I don't watch any of them if they're on HBO (not if they are on regular TV with commercials though.)
Now notice I did not say COMIC BOOK movie. Sin City, 300 and a bunch of others were great flicks.... I am only talking about SUPERHEROES.
As for Iron Man.... Robert Downey Jr. makes the movie. Listen when I first heard he was cast as Tony Stark, I thought it was a bad move along with the rest of you.... but then I saw that first trailer that I went apeshit over (as previously posted) and began to turn around.... and honestly after seeing the movie no one else could have done better. Either he took over the movie or the movie was made for him.
Gwyneth Paltrow actually looks pretty decent as well for the first time in a while.
Also the computer graphics were the best I have ever seen. There were times when I couldn't figure out whether they were working with an actual live full size prop or with a computer generated one. Even the times when it obviously had to be CGI it looked realistic (or as realistic as a guy flying around in a suit of armor can be, smartass.)
In conclusion, Iron Man gave me an Iron Hard Boner.
