Want to see new iron man...



I loved the first Iron Man movie. It really managed to capture the fun of a comic and deal with a semi-complex origin story in an appropriate number of minutes. Robert Downey Jr. was great, and so were the supporting players. It was also short, straightforward and to the point. Being the sequel, this is probably going to be somewhat less awesome, but Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell and Don Cheadle? Couldn't be better. Also note the appearance of Samuel L. Jackson, part of the concentrated effort to tie actors to specific roles in all films set in the Marvel Universe. If this movie does what it's supposed to, I think you can safely hand the Avengers movie to Jon Favreau and leave it at that.
