Sure, you can tell how it “works.” It still looks silly.

“…when Iron Man takes off, he holds his arms straight down to his sides and sticks his palms out, like a little girl doing a curtsey.”

Actually, a change was made in that now, the Iron Man armor uses the energy generated by the ‘arc-generator’ to both propel the suit in flight (both gauntlets and boots) and fire the ‘repulsor rays.’

Making the gloves an additional source of thrust (theoretically, of course…) adds greater maneuverability to the suit. Iron Man originally flew by means of two chemically-fueled boot jets… using the arc-generator technology, flight is now limitless.

Well, the Ralphie cameo isn’t that weird, being that he’s been a producer on almost all of Jon Favreau’s movies…

Weird! I totally didn't recognize him. I could tell it was a cameo because the bald cap looked so fake, but never in a million years would've thought that was the same guy.

‘You’ll shoot your eye out’ Ralphie!

The only cameos I noticed were Jon Favreau and Stan Lee. Which “Ralphie” are you talking about?

I liked it a lot too. Though after that last scene that pretty much guarantees that we will have to sit through a Captain America and Thor movie next summer.

What was with the bizarre cameos? The first terrorist Iron Man punched out was the dude from Rage Against the Machine….and the Scientist that Evil Bald Bridges threatened was Ralphie in a bald cap?
