Okay, just got back! Yup, Robert Downey was wonderful in that roll - his Stark was a little more snarky than what I remember, but it worked. The visuals were awesome, and the suit (to me, anyway) seemed believable. I thought the villians a bit on the cartoony side (generic evil people with accents, or GEPWA's), and I never could really understand what they were calling them. And Jeff Bridges bald was ... scary. If I had a grampa that looked like that, I'd hide in the trunk whenever we'd go visit.
I didn't stay through the credits, dang it. I was hurting and had to get up and move around. But I snickered at the first time SHEILD was mentioned, and through the rest of the movie kept wondering when they'd make a reference to Nick Fury. :)
And as far as I'm concerned, any woman who can walk, let alone run, in 4" stilletto f***-me pumps is a bigger super hero than any guy with a snazzy suit of armor. Yeesh! My feet (and knees, and hips, and lower back) were screaming for mercy watching Gweneth.
And BTW, thank you for the comments on "Shadow's Tail" over on Wraithbait! =^.^=
