Strangest thing. I rewatched the Iron Man trailer a few times, deeply enjoyed it -- but strangely, not the armored bits. Robert Downey Jr. is just terrific as Tony Stark (based on the glimpses we've seen so far), just pitch-perfect in delivery. It helps that Stark himself is miles away from your typical hero, drowning in hubris (even before recent events), and that's a potentially very interesting character. Suddenly the movie intrigues me, but probably for the wrong reasons -- pretty much all the mundane, non-superheroic bits.

Okay, I lied -- the sonic boom bit at the end was pretty neat, too; we don't see that enough in superhero movies. While I've never been a big fan of the character (even before Civil War), I'm kinda looking forward to this. And relatively low Paltrow content, too. Hrm.
