I saw the film today, and really enjoyed it.
It had a small advantage over films like Spider-Man, because it was
really about Tony Stark. They didn't have to have him continually taking
off him mask, like Tobey Maguire. Also the plot was quite linear.
But it had small flaws. I was immersed in Spider-Man, because I could
*believe* that a person with spider powers could do all sorts of
nonsensical things. And then Doc Octopus whipped Aunt May up with his
tentacle, and my belief was broken. A normal elderly woman would be dead.
In the same way, when Tony Stark is trying out his jets and is slammed
into a wall at high speed (twice!), he would be injured or dead! It made
a good scene, but broke my belief.
But I liked it a lot.
And I had the idea there was an end scene (I must have read it
somewhere) so I stayed for what seemed like half an hour through the end
credits. For about twenty seconds of extra film.
I haven't read the comics for years. Does the world know that Tony is
Iron Man?
