I really liked the characterization of Tony Stark as portrayed by Robert Downey Junior, and I thought that casting him as an alcoholic was inspired.

I might see it again in the theatre, but only if I have a group of friends going. I may or may not get the DVD. The director's commentary is tempting.

Please tell me that you stayed to the end of the credits.

I stayed to the end of the credits.

I've seen Downey do excellent work. This was decent. I hoped for more.

Fair enough. Maybe I've just set my expectations too low when it comes to superhero movies these days. This came as a pleasant surprise to me.

Which is not to say that I in any way differ from you in being much more excited about Indy.

I didn't need to see any more of the suit-against-suit fight. I thought it was about right. Testing the suit was great.

I agree about Prince Caspian; I'm less thrilled about Indiana Jones, but sufficiently positive reviews may bring me around.

Incidentally, Iron Man had someone named Underkoffler in the credits, with a title like "science fiction consultant". Is that the same guy who sometimes writes for SJ Games?
