Yes, it was a good film ..... as long as you turned off the 
"Believability" meter!!

Using an electro-magnet (powered by a car battery that you have to carry 
around) to attract bits of metal in his body away from his heart!!

Upgrading the power-supply to be Atomic (I think)!!

Using bits that were supposed to create a Weapons system to create a 
jet-propelled suit that could withstand bullets, etc.!!

Etc!! Etc!!

The Arch-(but not so brainy)-Baddie managers to design and build a 
bigger, better suit, apparently overnight.

Good film - as I did have the "Believability" meter off.
