Really happy with the way this turned out, as it looks exactly the way I wanted it to. Many people complained about this movie, saying it wasn't as good as the original but I though it was a good continuation of the story. Everybody was great in it and it didn't bore me. Don Cheadle was a solid replacement for Terence Howard & Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell were fantastic villains. Since I was a kid, I've liked the character of Iron Man. The fact that he's an alcoholic added to the drama of his stories. It could also be said that he's one of the most prominent super heroes with a disability (there were others before him) & this amplifies his appeal. He struggles & fights despite his frailties. But, there's one main reason Iron Man is a great character: he looks cool. His armor uses two of the primary colors and his helmet was usually drawn with a scowl on his face. Since I've been crotchity from a very young age, I could identify with that early on.
