So...yeah.
I will not rant and rave about it. But I highly recommend going to see Iron Man. It's quite good.
I will need to see it again to be sure, but from what I can tell, it's on par with X-men 2 and Spiderman 2. Possibly better.
I would also say it's as good as Batman Begins. I would say Batman Begins was a little better, but Katie Holmes' lackluster performance (and character, to be perfectly honest-she did not do a good job as an actress, but some of her dialogue and situations were simply unnecessary to boot, and thus would have been hard to carry by even the best actress) dragged Batman Begins down a bit.
Anyway. I recommend seeing it. I also recommend staying past the credits for an extra teaser.
And I must note that this is one of the rare movies where it is worth paying the ticket cost to see it in the theater. Plus, if you want to see Iron Man 2, you should pay to see it at least once. If you download it so you don't have to pay, love it, and then wonder why they won't make a sequel, don't come bitching about it to me. :-P
