I dont think any super hero films have been totally perfect in every aspect (origin story/plot/characters/FX). Spidey, Batman Begins and Iron Man are closer than most of em. IM is an awesome Marvel super hero movie, thats what Im judging it on, not as a cinema masterpiece in the vein of Citizen Kane.
I think the toughest films to do are the first ones with the origins. In that area, Iron Man was very nicely executed and paced really well. For me, its right up with Sam’s Spider Man 1 as the best of Marvels output so far.
Also Iron Man is a really great character for 2008. Its almost as if he could exist in our world. I love that aspect.
