I have general knowledge of the Marvel universe from some bits i saw whilst growing up and seeing the older ones on the odd late evening back then. So when i saw that I clicked onto the eight rings reference and assumed they would be in it. As proved wrong, my assumption is that there will be a sequel as most people are saying

As for the film itself, I didn't like how it was advertised but some of my mates wanted to watch it and do I tagged along. Surprisingly (like in the review and with other members) I enjoyed it. It was better than previous Marvel films. I liked the background of Stark as it seemed better than other hero background. I mean look at Spiderman: He gets bit by a spider and gains powers. He shows these in some clueless way in his school and no one can put two and two together to work it out *sigh* Ironman's background was on par with the Batman one which in its own right was a brilliant film.

But anyone, I talk too much. The film, the action and everything was awesome to the extent I would go to watch it again without second thought.
