Terrific movie, one of the best super hero films yet. I still think BATMAN BEGINS is a watermark for these films, with the first SPIDER-MAN being a good mainstream one. The first two X-MEN films were quite good as well. All are predictable, but a lot of fun.
[added] MacMagus; agreed on the spoiler text. I'm not that familiar with the "modern" IRON MAN stories, but that's a cool tip of the hat.
LOVED the after-credits clip with you-know-who talking about the you-know-what initiative.
And don't forget, Downey is going to show up as Tony Stark in THE INCREDIBLE HULK film this summer. I don't think Hulk can maintain a franchise, honestly, but a cross-over in IRON MAN 3? Can you say "HULKBUSTER" Armor? I'm thinking "THE AVENGERS" in 2012 or 2013.
