And now we can see that the decision to cast Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man was an absolutely brilliant one. I love his attitude in the first 30 seconds or so of the trailer, and the intensity needed at the end is clearly something he can wrap his arms around.
I was a bit turned off by the "first" Iron Man that we see, when the movie seemingly turns into something akin to a bad Japanese B-movie, but then the real suit arrives, much sleeker, much more agile, and frankly, much more watchable and exciting.
Can't wait. I love seeing what actors like Downey, Christian Bale (and soon Ed Norton in The Incredible Hulk) can do in these comic book roles.
