Actually, I thought both Iron Man movies set a new standard for Marvel Films. RDJ played Tony Stark perfectly, and is the best casting since J.K. Simms played J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man. Iron Man just isnt one of my favorite heroes, I always thought of him as a way for Marvel to rip of both Batman & Green Lantern in one swift go(even in the new Spider-Man cartoon Iron Man was working on "Hard Light Construct" rings) You have the millionaire playboy who lost his parents at an early age ala Batman, and the devil may care attitude ala Hal Jordan(and in the Marvel NOW!, he will also be joining the Space Police known as Guardians of the Galaxy).
