Good summer fun movie. I liked how they explained "Tony Starks" coming of age, and Robert Downey Jr. seemed in his element as the self absorbed (nah - no type casting) industrialist.
Minor disappointment with the "evil American industrialist" helping the jihadist slant, guess Hollywierd just has to get in some editorializing. Though the jihadists were well characterized. I've been to Baghram Afghanistan, and it they didn't film there, they either did some very convincing mats, or they found a perfect mirror location somewhere else.
I like the idea that Marvel is releasing the old comics, provided they don't look like the old TV versions. The new Batman series, Spiderman, Hulk were very good. The previews for the second installment of the Hulk looks promising. My son tells me that he's heard that there is consideration for doing a Thor movie.
Ending was well done. Liked how he "pulled it off".
