I got the impression of Iron Man being an amalgamation of Batman Begins (2005) and Transformers (2007), though it isn't IMO necessarily greater than the sum of its parts.
Robert Downey Jr invests Tony Stark with the same charm which made him memorable in Air America (1990), and that's a good thing.
Terrence Howard's Jim Rhodes should clip his fingernails more often. I mean, what military dude has long dirty fingernails?
Jeff Bridges is convincing as Obadiah Stane, but I couldn't help thinking of him as the Dude every time he comes on screen.
Gwyneth Paltrow is cute as Pepper Potts, but comedic attempts to turn her into a possible love interest to Stark are rather hit-or-miss.
