Yeah, TD, I think that about sums it up. ;D I finally broke down and gave the movie a look, after seeing the reviews for it. I was actually pleasantly surprised with it, overall. Not with Downey, though... that always struck me as perfect casting for Tony Stark. No, I was more pleased with how faithful the movie was to the source, while still delivering a quality story. I have to say, Marvel really needs to learn from this movie. For one thing, this movie admits that Tony Stark isn't a hero from the outset. The film doesn't whitewash him, try to duck from the consequences of Tony's actions, or run away from his personal failings. I can respect that. If Marvel would take this approach to Tony Stark, he wouldn't be so irritating to read about. Next film pretty much has to be Tony vs. The Mandarin. That should be interesting.

Either Tony vs. Mandarin, or another armor, like Titanium Man, Dynamo, ect.

If there's another armored suit, most likely it'll be War Machine. Favreau said on CBR that he wanted War Machine in at some point, so my guess is it'll happen at some point.
Stark doesn't have a lot of great villains, must be said. After Stane and Mandarin, the upper echelon would be Justin Hammer, Madame Masque... and then you start dropping into the D-list. That having been said, Ghost is a good villain, if sorely underutilized, and it might be that Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo could work if they made the guys in the suits halfway interesting.
We'll see, though. They could possibly pull a decent trilogy from this, if not much more than that.
