The movie was certainly no cinematic masterwork but it would be wrong to expect it from a film adaptation. Compared to many other characters behind their superhero facades, Tony Stark is quite possibly the one I like most ... and Robert Downey Jr. has matured enough to do this role justice.

Iron Man 2 is already planned for mid-2010 and we'll see Tony Stark again this year in the new Hulk adaption wink I'll be looking forward to both.
