Saw it over the weekend, and thought it was great. One of the best stories for a comic book movie, done very well. All the questions that popped up in my head as I watched the movie were answered within a few minutes in a later scene.

The movie did earn $100 million this weekend, exceeding what I was expecting. Most optimistic projections were at $100 million, the modest ones were at $75 million.

Did see the trailer for the Dark Knight during the Iron Man movie, and it looked fantastic, but really dark. Ledger looked and sounded amazing as the Joker. But I think the dark theme will hurt repeat viewing and the kid crowd. No way Dark Knight puts up numbers like Iron Man, even though it looks like a better film.

Downey Jr was perfect as Tony Stark. Did wonder a bit if Paltrow was miscast, but she did a good job and had good onscreen chemistry with Downey Jr. Loved Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane.
