I enjoyed it, that's for sure! A couple years ago this would have been a perfect superhero movie. Now, after Batman, Iron Man and the likes, it's just another decent entry into this genre. Very entertaining, but not really standing out. Looking forward to sequels and the tying up of characters in The Avengers!

Crazy. I am completely opposite of the rest of the comments. Fantastic character creation and one of the best origin stories they've done in the Marvel movies. Stanley Tucci was quite amazing. The avengers should be truly great!
Also, definitely not the "worst superhero movie". Go watch Ang Lee's Hulk (the first one) or, God forbid... Thor... /shudder

I was ok with the movie mostly being backstory, I kept thinking the sequel will have more action! Then they start to kill him off in the end, and I was pretty pissed by so much backstory.

Too much time was spent building up the back story... Action was very limited in some stretches... So much so that I fell asleep and had to rewatch the last half of the movie. Overall, it wasn't bad, but definitely not one of my favorites, especially in this genre.

Liked the movie enough to look forward to a sequel. I'm hopeful they're able to make a film with a decent plot when they don't have to worry about building up the protagonist first.

@mroby: I am sure it was somewhere in the 5 figures, maybe even 6. Something that us normal folks earn after years and years of working....
The movie was not bad. Not exactly top of the line, but still overall an slightly above average action movie.
The movie was definitely set in the Marvel universe, more than the other movies that still looked kind of in place with the real world. I mean energy weapons, helicopters, security camera's and a gigantic airplane with jet propulsion.... Most of these things were even to the highly advanced Nazi's in 1943 just plans on the drawingboard.

Not as bad as I was expecting-the most interesting part of the movie was the very end. It almost seemed like they had the script written, and someone said, "ok, now how do we tie it in the the Avengers?"
I wonder how much Downey, Jr. and Jackson get paid for these little tags at the end? Like they show up for 1/2 a day of shooting.
...man, I shoulda been a movie actor... dangit... wrong career...
