Good but could be better

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2013)

I love the opening scenes with Iron Man being like the very original Iron Man. It's almost an homage to the first comic books written in 1963. I really liked this portion of the movie the most.
The characters are believable and are consistent through the movie. I am not entirely supportive of the script and I find at times it is boring and slow.
There is no central villain in the movie which is different and refreshing. I like this because it isn't Tony Stark fighting a nemesis. It's more of Tony finding himself and the new path he is following. Such as the battle at the end against Jeff Bridge's character, Obadiah Stane.
Stane wants to take over the company for purposes of greed. He is a long time friend of the family. Should Stark rip is brains out? Subdue him? Join him?
