As Chrisisall replied in the Fantastic Four 2 thread, when I mentioned Iron Man: "CGI was invented to enable the making of this movie- I'm SO there!!!!"
I couldn't agree more, so I decided to start a new thread to discuss the nifty little details I have so much fun looking at in HD on my new 20" iMac!
I suggest watching the trailer in as high a resolution as you can manage (hopefully 1080)...

Let's start with all the nifty little aero-control surfaces that are constantly adjusting as Iron Man flies...
These I've dubbed "Shoulderons" (like ailerons, elevons or flaperons)...
Also, there are two separate control surfaces on the back of each of his boots that I've taken to calling "bootflaps"...
This movie is gonna be "CGI Porn" for years to come!

So humpin' charged to see IM. And yes, CGI was created for such a purpose.
Insanely smiling while running with scissors and playing with matches.

Another nifty detail is the "vapor cone" as IM goes supersonic right at the end of the trailer.
(They also showed this in Superman Returns, but I think this one is better!)
This phenomenon is called the Prandtl-Glauert singularity...

...and is shown best (IMHO) in this clip that's made the rounds on the Net.
