"It’s as if Favreau called in sick on the days spent shooting this sequence and asked Michael Bay to fill in for him."
Ha! I liked it.

Firstly, directing a movie like this is no small task and there is so much delegating that it must be a herculean task to keep up with it all. Jon Favreau did better than most. That being said, Jon Favreau, like many other blockbuster filmmakers, didn't realize that in the final cut(whether a period drama or an superhero action flick) it is a believable story that makes the grade. It is easy to be wowed by the robot suit and I also thought Robert Downey Jr's performance was excellent given the script. However to compare it to Batman Begins which is far more nuanced, intelligent, and more importantly, believable, is just unfair to Christopher Nolan whose mature, studied approach to Batman is a cut way above this movie. The directors who handle this material best(Nolan and Raimi) are those who understand that the superhero reflects the man and not the reverse. I hope that someone like Christopher Nolan will pick up another comic book hero and give it the kind of respect deserved of a fictional superhero in serial print for over 45 years (like Iron Man.)

Hold your horses Ananda. I'm not saying Iron Man is as good as Batman Begins. Batman Begins is my favorite comic book adaptation, it's an A movie definitely to be sure and of the two, Nolan is by far the best director. I'm just saying that their are many similarities between the two characters.

just saw the iron man movie, and would have to say its got alot to it that only comic and true iron man fans would enjoy, the bad guy mandarin, with his 10 rings of power, nick furrys s.h.i.e.l.d agancy, and of course james rhodes and the war machine referance, i think this is one of the best comic to movie crossovers ever. i hope they make a sequal and expand on there already great stroy line, would love to see war machine and iron man side by side.
