I found it to be the most enjoyable "summer movie" I've seen in years. Downey Jr. was really terrific. I knew nothing about the character or the comics before going, and was thoroughly enthralled with the fun and the humor and the character developments. Favreau did a heck of a job, and I think his talent grows with each new project (I guess the projects themselves grow, too.)
While in the theater, I made a bit of a realization. Paramount is going to have a hell of a summer. Iron Man, Indy, Tropic Thunder... I think all of them are going to be #1.
