Iron Man is the greatest movie in the history of ever. Well, no, it isn't. It is a very good movie, on par with Batman Begins and the original Spider-Man, in terms of superhero goodness. Sets a good tone for the rest of the summer movies.
The great thing about the movie, Tony Stark is a flawed man, and we can identify with him. Hell, we might even become him, if given enough money and intelligence and time (so, not even really becoming him). Same thing with Batman, the need for vengeance drove an ordinary human to become extraordinary. That's what makes Superman hard to make into a movie. We can't identify. It's Clark Kent that we identify with.
Of course, the other thing we must remember is that Iron Man = kaboom, and that's what we're all about: big explosions.
