I haven't seen Iron Man yet, but I'm guessing they made a substantial departure from the original story.
They were faithful on some very fundamental elements, but yeah... they made some changes.

But I've always felt that you have to compromise the story a bit or it doesn't adapt well to film.

Except for The Watchmen. I wish they were making that a miniseries instead of a movie.

I want to see every last panel of that comic on screen.

Not gonna happen, but a gal can dream...
