Not that I wasn't rooting for the comic book movies to win. But it was pretty damned impressive.

I am of the same opinion. The first third of the movie was absolutely carried by the visual effects behind the Benjamin Button character (well, carried by the effects AND Taraji P. Henson, anyway).

FWIW: I think that both TDK and Iron Man are better films than TCCoBB.
