What I liked in the film?
Iron Man is an adaptation of a Marvel comic which will be liked by both adults and kids. This film is engrossing, entertaining and convincing. The action sequences are pretty impressive (except for the climax fight). The graphics in the film are well done without dominating the scenes.

What I did not like in the film?
The climax fight is a disappointment.

The scenes I liked

1. Tony Stark is being attacked in Afghanistan by using weapons made in his own company.
2. The entire sequences of Stark making an escape by designing an iron gear for himself.
3. The conversations between Stark and Rhodey when Stark engages a couple of fighter planes.

Tailpiece:
The difference between other comic heroes and Iron Man is that Iron Man is a playboy.
