Seen the preview and quite enjoyed it. Downey definitely does one of the best performances you'll see in a superhero movie, with crisp lines. Lots of hints of what's upcoming in sequels, and some surprises. Don't be expect to be utterly bowled over though. It stretches a bit long, especially since it tries to squeeze the origin story in the first 30-45 mins.

Just 1 Question.

Are the effects as good as the previews seem to be?

They're good but didn't blow me away. Downey actually spends a lot of time outside the suit. You won't find anything in there that exceeds Transformers for sure.

How does it fare to say... Batman Begins? Seeing how both have complex origin-stories that were condensed.

I think they did justice to the origin story, though Rhodes plays more of a minor role, disappointingly, and like what I found for Batman Begins, the second half doesn't quite live up to the start.
 





To those of you who are going to see it: STAY UNTIL THE CREDITS END!
