Saw Iron Man (finally).
-A few instances of "Science/engineering doesn't work like that!" and "good god, your fabrication times are what?".
-Even more instances of "I want that", which balance it out, though. Like Stark's awesome 3D modeling setup for rapid prototyping. When I get to 3D model, I use Solidworks on a regular computer and maybe get to rapid prototype with a 3D printer. He has the holographic models with "tactile" feedback. DO WANT.
-Another nitpick: "At age [foo], Tony Stark graduated summa cum laude from MIT." Um, that's kind of impressive, considering the fact that MIT does not give out Latin honors. It's not a widely-known fact (in terms of pop culture especially), and not many people would catch that inaccuracy, but it made me go "waitaminute".
-On a vaguely related note: "Spot the Brass Rat" is a fun game to play.
-Did Col. Rhodes have the right insignia on his lapels? I could have sworn he had oak leaves, but he was officially known as "Colonel", not "Lt. Colonel". (Damn you, Stargate, for making me notice these things. Okay, okay, I'll blame AHI too.)
-S.H.I.E.L.D. When they kept doing the non-acronym form, I found myself trying to figure out what the acronym would be (then promptly forgetting when something blew up). I bit my hand when they said "Call us SHIELD". Oh, SWORD and SHIELD. (yes, I know the Guild got those from the comics, but it amused me still)
-Overall? Excellent movie. I want all of Tony Stark's toys. Pepper Potts was as slick as can possibly be, and only got caught because the silly OS has a window pop up for when downloads are complete.
I can probably expand on other things, but this is a quick-and-dirty commentary.
