Trivia:
Tony Stark drives an Audi R8 in the film, as part of a promotion deal Marvel Studios made with the Audi Automobile Company. Two other vehicles, the Audi S5 coupe and the Audi Q7 SUV, also make an appearance in the film. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The Newsweek cover from when Stane takes over the Stark Industries after Howard Stark dies looks fairly recent. And the other magazine cover says Tony Stark takes over at age 21. When Stark and Stane are talking about arc reactor technology, Stane says a breakthrough hasn't been made in 30 years. If the movie takes place in 2008, this would put the arc reactor being built in the late 70s. The Newsweek cover looks like it is from the early 90s. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Tony Stark: I feel like you're driving me to court martial. This is crazy. What did I do? I feel like you're gonna pull over and snuff me. What, you're not allowed to talk? Hey, Forest...
Jimmy: We can talk, sir.
Tony Stark: Oh, I see. So it's personal.
Ramirez: No, you intimidate them.
Tony Stark: Good God, you're a woman! I honestly, I couldn't have called that. I mean, I would apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here? I thought of you as a soldier first.
Ramirez: I'm an airman.
Tony Stark: Well you have actually excellent bone structure there. I'm kinda having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?

Fortunately, I'm not one easily influenced by some users' negative comments. These people should try to restrain their bias opinions and try to review the movies as neutrally as possible.
Now I would say that this movie has slow but steady momentum-building. It is a movie for people who has never known Iron Man in the comic series. The characters are given names and personalities, true to their comic book counterparts.
Acting was among the best comic-turn movie I have seen so far. Effects were believable and not overwhelmingly CGI, except for the tank scene.
This movie, however, has sequel written all over it. We know that because there are many scenes that could have lead to more.
It's well worth its ticket price.
