Iron Man to beat

I'm not a Marvel Comics fan, am more into DC Comics; however, this film rocked. Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges were great in their characters. Gwyneth's character could have been someone else.The computer effects dominated the film and was reminiscent of Transformers. The various versions of the Iron Man suit and Downey's testing them were very nicely done. Oh, and Stan Lee's cameo as a Hefner-ish old man surrounded by bouncy-bosomed ladies was amusing.
After the end credits, one last scene foretells of a future Marvel movie. And then on the radio I heard the Iron Man franchise is supposed to be a trilogy - the third movie of which would have a super-powered team doing some avenging. :)
I think I'd still wait for a Justice League movie or a Teen Titans movie. The Justice League incarnation in the sixth season of Smallville was pretty exciting too. Hmm, anyway, for me, Iron Man is up there in the league of outstanding superhero movies made. Next up, Incredible Hulk... I don't think so. The Dark Knight... definitely! Iron Man, still 3.75 out of 5 stars!
