I took my kids and thought is was pretty good for a kids movie, not an adult movie. Allan - you have no kids so go see an adult movie next time.
I think Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of an alcoholic womanizer and some of the more subtle themes were way above a "kids" movie. The subtext for adults was definitely there are not so subtle.
So let me get this straight, you walked out of a movie based off a comic book because you already knew how it was going to end....
Dude, thats just as bad as watching a book based movie after reading the book and bitching that you knew what was going to happen already.
The acting was good, the cgi was amazing, and there wasnt any slow points that I noticed, I thought Ironman was a good movie.
didn't read the comics as a kid, did enjoy the movie. I was thinking it was going to be chessy. went with son and we both laughed at the same parts. good, not great(not supposed to be) flick
Ironman was hands down the best super hero movie I've seen to date. Robert Downey Jr. was born to play Tony Starks. I read the comic books and didn't know how it was going to end so I'm not sure why you would walk out so early. There were several ways it could have went early in the movie.
Being a fan of comic books, I also loved all the innuendo in the movie like when Col. Rhodes looked at the Mark II suit and said, "Not just yet" indicating that he is going to eventually become War Machine. Also, in the background in one of the scenes you can see where Starks is working on Captain America's shield.
On a side note, I loved the preview for The Dark Knight and during the trailer someone says, "I want to introduce you to someone, Mr. Clark Kent" and the scene ended. If you watched I Am Legend, in one of the scenes they showed this image:
Marvel and DC are going all out with integrating all of their heroes into many, many movies and I have a raging boner just thinking about it!

Also, if you haven't seen Ironman yet, don't leave during the credits. There's a surprise ending after the end credits. I will admit, those are some long ass mother fucking credits though.
