This includes a few federal agents, which doesn't make SHIELD happy. <i>The Many Armors of Iron Man</i>: A sampling of classic Iron Man stories, including the original Stark v. Stane confrontation. <i>Extremis</i>: Warren Ellis' six-issue run which inspired the current look of Iron Man's armor. Also a cool story in its own right.

I don't care if the Batman sequel's coming out - this movie is not going to be topped this summer. I never read Iron Man when I was a kid, but damn, this movie makes me wish I did.

To put it another way - she loves him too much to sleep with him. Katie - to quote another review: Pepper has enough integrity that she’ll avoid being seen as just another one of Tony’s conquests.

I don't know if that's how things go in the comics or not, I don't know the Iron Man story, but I loved that that didn't happen, and for good reason--he freaking left her standing on that balcony! And she called him on it! Haha! :D Also, the last line of the movie was freaking awesome, too. Fantastic. I loved it, and I can't wait for its inevitable sequel. :) That Stark didn’t get it on with Potts was awesome.

Stane's the kind of guy you could see on the street. This other guy thought it made him a worse one. To each their own.

I even didn't mind Gwyneth Paltrow and her ability to act straight from her neck. Agreed with your review - Iron Man was FLIPPIN’ AWESOME.

I don't think he trusts anyone other than himself (or possibly Jim Rhodes, as of the sequel) to use his weapons justly. That's why he's not selling Iron Man suits to the Navy. The radical anti-imperialist in me would like to see Stark go toe-to-toe with a U.S. carrier group, but that's not too likely. :) Squirrel - It amazes me that a faceless, voiceless mechanical arm can act more expressively than Ben Affleck (<i>Daredevil</i>) could.

Oh, and don't forget the adorable robots. Adorable robots who try SO hard! I think it works because any character described as a “playboy millionaire” is inherently awesome.
