...and it was good. Fanboy city as I went with friends from work. It's a mish-mash of the Stane takeover of Stark International and Armor Wars and a lot of the Michelenie - Layton years which is when I really liked the comic. Robert Downie Jr. makes the movie though - with a less-talented actor, this would have been a snooze.

I saw it opening day (Friday) as well, and it was a total nerdgasm. I was obviously in good fanboy company based on the oohs and aahs at a number of points in the film that would have only elicited that reaction from those in the know (I won't post spoilers, but you'll know 'em when you see 'em!).
