Quotes:

Rhodey: Why don't you just own up to it, Tony? You didn't trust me enough to be a part of this project.
Tony Stark: Rhodey ...
Rhodey: I mean, I'm your closest friend. I've always been in your corner.
Tony Stark: Come on, Rhodey. You're making this personal. We're friends. Why are you overreacting?
Rhodey: I'm the only one who sees it for what it is. Remember when your father took your stuff and put it into his weapon program, how betrayed you felt? Well, guess what, Tony. You're just like him.

decent animated movie,for the most part

right off the bat, i have to say that this film is not half bad.there's plenty of action,lots of explosions and some decent villains.if you are a fan of the comic book,you might not like it,because as far as i know,it is not that faithful an adaptation.also,the origin of Iron Man as told in this movie, is in my opinion, weak and much too brief and definitely is not faithful to the comic book.but there are plenty good things about the movie.the voice actor fit very well with their roles and the story was pretty good and the decent villains,which i mentioned earlier.as animated movies go,this 1 is pretty good.in my opinion 'The Invincible Iron Man' is about a 7/10
