Okay, I know there are people here besides me who have seen this.
My review: OMFG. Everything you've heard is true. RDJ really is all that and a bag of chips. (Plus totally doable, and I say that as someone who's never really thought of him that way before.) Best meeting of actor and role since, well, since Harrison Ford and Indiana Jones, and you'll get to see that trailer too.
I've said to a few different people that Downey had the opportunity to raise the superhero bar with this one. I am telling you now, he slaps the bar down, breaks it in half -- with his teeth -- replaces it with a 12-foot concrete wall strung with razor wire, and goes, "There. Get over that, Ed Norton. You little bitch."
Loved the various nods to canon -- or at least the original canon -- throughout. Terrence Howard is ideally cast as Rhodey. Jeff Bridges is incredible, as always. And make sure you stay until the credits are over!
