    Iron Man

    Just came back from a screening at work,
    and it gets 2 thumbs up, and ranks as one of the best superhero
    films.

    Downey Jr. is terrific in the part, as is the entire cast.
    What really stands out is the story, which is legitimate,
    and it's not just an excuse for mindless action (but when the action is there, you're going to enjoy it) FX are good, and the man in a suit is believable.

    I won't spoil anything, but it's damn enjoyable,
    suitable for most kids (aside from a little sexual innuendo and Stark in bed with a woman)

              I checked it out before work today (I run a movie theatre). It is definitely one of the best superhero movies ever made. Somewhere in the top 5 or 6. Downey just owns this part. He is definitely already an actor that I can't imagine them replacing with someone else in the future. He is just so perfect for it.

                Two Thumbs WAY Up! The wife and I both enjoyed it thoroughly. The buzz is just going to continue to grow on this one, and you can expect some major boffo returns this weekend. I predict it will pass the $100Million Mark by Monday.

                  Saw it yesterday, its up there as one of the best takes of superhero yet.
                  If your planning to see it, stay on after the end credits. I didn't but ,superherohype.com has hinted strongly to do this, then tell me what you saw.

                        I've heard nothing but good or great things about this movie, and I'm pumped for it. I had a really great feeling about it from that very first shot we saw of Downy with the repulsor glove on.

                        My boy is nuts about Iron Man. The giant Iron Man Museum card from Mego Meet 06 still hangs in his room, so we are so there this weekend...maybe even tonight!

                        I'll definitely hang around for the credits, thanks Clem!

                          This sounds good.

                          Does the story have mass appeal (similar to the first Spider-Man)?

                          My wife is not into superhero movies at all but loved the first Spider-Man because of the story line.

                            I didn't see it yet, but have heard the ending from numerous sources.

                            Stark returns hame to find Col. Nick Fury (played by Sam Jackson) waiting for him. Fury says something to the effect "We need to talk about the Avngers Initiative."

                            Rumor has it that The Incredible Hulk will end the same way with Jackson and Ed Norton
                            Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.

                              My wife surprised me with tickets to go see Iron Man tonight. I can't wait


                              Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
