Iron Man, Iron Man, does whatever an iron can

Iron Man brought the lulz. Also squee. You young whippersnappers probably didn't spot a jazzed-up version of the old cartoon theme in the casino, not recognise the awesome guitarage over the end credits.

Took me a while to recognise Jeff Bridges. Never did recognise Gwyneth Paltrow. I just can't tell actresses apart. Didn't pick Paul Bettany, either. Sigh.

Best end credit:
AHMED... Ahmed Ahmed

I was relieved when the focus of the film changed to naughty corporate people, because the Afghan fighters were TOTALLY the Terrorists from Team America only without the irony.

The trouble and misery was being caused, of course, by a synergy between the warlords and the war profiteers. For a superhero movie to manage that level of sophistication was pretty surprising. (It also gave us the striking image of Tony Stark as the angel of death, "wings" of dust flying up behind his outstretched arms.)
