Most Exciting Comic Book Movie Since Superman #1

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2008)

I had never read the Iron Man comics, so was extremely pleasantly surprised at the plot, acting, direction (not in Afghanistan? Wah?) The only thing I didn't like was the sound track was not memorable. But it was so unexpectedly pleasurable and satisfying, I'll wait a couple of weeks and see it again as I'm sure I missed a lot of the stunning special effects which had to be extremely cleverly constructed or used an unimaginable amount of computer memory.
I really want to see a "Making of" because I want to know HOW DID THEY DO THAT? (SPOILER ALERT) (1) Gyneth Paltrow reaching into his chest (2) was that a real Malibu house on the outside, or mat painting over an overlay of a Malibu clifftop?
