Trivia:
Stark and Rhodes graduated from MIT together. In the scene where Rhodes calls Iron Man (who's flying with the F-22's), you can see a big gold ring on the hand that he's holding the phone in. This is MIT's class ring, the "brass rat." moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Tony Stark drives his Audi R8 to Disney Hall for the benefit event, there is no front license plate affixed to the vehicle. However, when he pulls up to the entrance, his "Stark" vanity plate is clearly visible on the front of the car. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Tony Stark: O.k., seriously, I feel like you're driving me to court martial. This is crazy. What did I do? I feel like you're gonna pull over and snuff me. What, you're not allowed to talk? Hey, Forest...
Jimmy: We can talk, sir.
Tony Stark: Oh, I see. So it's personal. Alright.
Ramirez: You intimidate them, sir.
Tony Stark: Good God, you're a woman! I honestly couldn't have called that. I mean, I would apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here? I thought of you as a soldier first.
Ramirez: I'm an airman.
Tony Stark: Well you actually have excellent bone structure there. I'm having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?

As an avid reader of the Iron Man comics, I was excited but also very scared that this movie would flop.
While Robert Downey is not the biggest name in Hollywood, he plays the part perfectly and I was greatly impressed by how he portrayed Iron Man so well.
The humor works well for this film also. It's well-written and has a great cast.
What impressed me the most was the CGI! They're breath-taking, but aren't distracting enough to let you miss the finer points of this movie.
In conclusion, while not perfect, Iron Man lives up to its hype and my expectations as a reader of the comic.
