I do fine with my weed, thanks very much.
I was expecting a quality movie, just because it's a movie based on a comic book series doesn't mean it can't be that. Now if I had said something like "there was too much violence" or "it was unrealistic" I'd get your point. The problem with these movies is that they don't know how to approach them. If you'd take Wolverine straight out of the comic he'd be a guy wearing yellow spandex and it would look ridiculous (which they joked about in X-Men 1). So to get around the fact that they're making a comic book movie they don't take themselves "too seriously" but it's counter-productive as fuck. With all the lame one-liners (zing!) and entire feel of the movies it's all too apparent that you're watching actors, not characters. Although I liked that Wolverine costume joke it's this type of shit that break the fourth wall too much and puts focus on the fact that you're watching grown men pretend-fighting in Hollyween costumes. The "not too serious" attitude also makes the villains seem gay as fuck.
If you're the type of person that dislikes anime and thinks comic books are for nerds you shouldn't be doing the fucking movie. Take the story and characters seriously but make it more realistic when needed (like Batman).
This movie was predictable in every way and I didn't even read the Iron Man comics. I can't sit down for 1-2 hours and simply focus on the good stuff. With this movie it would mean sitting through the conversations which could best be described as filler, the awful match-up of Gwyneth Paltor and Robert Downey Jr., Tony Stark's "amazing" spiritual growth, Dr. Yinsen's craptacular role as a mentor, shitty slapstick humor, banter with a fucking fire extinguisher etc. just so I can see some mediocre fighting sequences.
It's a live action movie in the 21st century and they still manage to make it less entertaining than 20th century cartoons.
I'm sure I would've enjoyed this when I was 14 but after 22 years of watching movies and seeing what they can do this piece of shit is an insult to my intelligence.

Wow Chronic, I thought it was a fun well made movie. I recommend you see the Incredible Hulk when it comes out, that looks perhaps more up your alley as it was rewritten by the excellent Edward Norton and I think will focus a lot on his internal struggle and conflict of the character.
_carmi, I dont think Iron Man will be that good on the small screen, I would recommend seeing it at the cinema.

SPOILER ALERT!
It's the best version I could find.
