Iron Man is a great movie, with excellent character development and amazing computer generated images. If you ask me, the costume ideas are fantastic with the re-usage of the original iron man suit an excellent plot twist. However, I disliked the amount of time that was spent leading up to the climax. This took one hour and 36 minutes to get there! And not only that but the main villain intentionally revealed himself! The director had the reveal going, but then the villain swooped in (implausibly by the way, how is someone face to face with one character to be face to face with another character five seconds later) to attack Stark.
As a whole, I thought that the plot was very plausible (given that it is a Marvel movie about superheroes) and so were Stark's inventions. My only issue with Stark is that while he created a very realistically rough suit of robotic armor, the generator for the armor was not convincing. For example, what is the likelihood that a high-tech never-before-seen generator could be created by reusing materials from missiles? Very low. There isn't enough correlation between needed parts! Much less a generator that has a GLOWING BLUE CIRCLE from non-glowing parts of a missile! But other than that, all the other inventions were extremely plausible. The filmed creation process of the invention really helped with that. The staging was fantastic for that purpose and incorporated genuine humor to assist the process.
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie, and would highly recommend it to any fantasy viewers.
