It's obvious by some of the responses here that, if presented with the prospects of ironman not wearing an ironman suit, they would be here saying: "That ironman suit looked bad anyway. Oh, Im happy ironman doesnt wear an ironman suit." Reminds me of the starwars nerds who though 2 seconds of Vadert was cool because they knew that thats all there would be and they had to liek HWATEVER was coming. Super geeks are *******s.

This movie looks very promising to me on a character level and on a superficial (visual) level should be sufficiently sparkly to satisfy the CGI 'connoisseuers'. The casting of Downey as Tony Stark is inspired. Iron Man has one of the most human backstories in comics and tackles adult themes such as addiction and the dangers of corporate-government symbiosis. Downey's personal story (struggles with substance abuse and its consequences) gives him a particular credibility in portaying Stark and his obvious comedic gifts clearly will not go to waste under Favreau's direction.

I have high expectations.

As for the Variety's 'story', the idea of a non-flying Iron-Man is so nonsensical that the article never should have made it off the editor's desk. Whoever wrote the piece should be reassigned.
