Best. Comicbook Movie. Ever.

Iron Man is made of awesome. The armor rocked; the soundtrack rocked; RDJ, Terrance Howard, Jeff Bridges, and Gwyneth Paltrow rocked; the entire movie was more than worth driving four hours up to NYC to see it at midnight instead of waiting for tomorrow. For one thing, it meant that the entire theater was filled with comics fans. When the Stan Lee cameo occurred, it got a cheer almost as loud as the first appearance of the armor. I second everything puritybrown said here, but I'm also going to launch into some squee of my own.

Also, there is an extra scene at the end of the credits that is more than worth sitting through the entire credits for; much more substantial than your average easter-egg end-credits scene, ( spoiler )
