I'm a recovering Comic Book geek...Heck, I owned my own Comic Shop for 7 years!! (yep, retail brick and morter...). Iron Man was always one of my top fave titles.

I loved the movie!
They did a good mix of past and more modern story lines. Fans of the comic series will recognize a mixture of story arcs...but in a good way.
Yet, even if you don't know the Comic version, you will "get" it and enjoy the movie.
Lot's of 'lil side stuff for Fanboys..including the useall cameo by Stan the Man.
If any comic geeks here read the Marvel Knights version of Iron Man about six years back they will definetly see where some of the story came from.

All in all, one of the better comic book movies I've seen, and like I said, I'm a big Iron Man fan and cringed a little at this movie when I first heard about it last year, thinking they'd ruin it.
I was pleasently surprised!
