Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark. There's something about his charming, rogue personality that seamlessly translates into this movie and the character he plays. I'm not sure if it's RDJ or if it's Tony Stark, but he's able to pull you into the story. Tony Stark is human, flawed, and a less-dark (Christian Bale version of) Batman. I think part of Tony Stark's appeal is that he's a regular person, albeit with a suit that gives him special powers. Not unlike (the Adam West version of) Batman's shark repellent.
As far as summer blockbusters and movies based on comics goes, this is definitely one of the better ones. I wouldn't say it was particularly amazing, but it was good. And it makes me want to see the sequel, because after this, we all know there's going to be one.
