Saw Iron Man, twas awesome, for the first time in god knows how long I've seen a super hero/action movie and not had any complaints. Even the plot elements that were telegraphed were STILL resolved satisfactorily without suspense going out the window, I even liked the way the hero villain conflict was resolved. (not as obviously push/insert item A into object B as say Batman Begins and Transformers For example) there lots of bit that just make you gush at the awesome, and lots of comic book flavour. (i.e. no blatant trashing of what made the comics good, details and inside references spot on etc.)
There were 'Splosions AND it actually made sense. I'm shocked. That practically never happens any more, the Jerry Bruckheimer model of movie making has a lot to answer for.
Also I hate Michael Bay. A lot. With an unquenchable seething rage. Jus' sayin'.
