This looked like a really good movie.  Anyone have any personal opinions yet?

They cut his scene and Samuel L Jacksons.

Samuel I dont care about but Ghostface...

He did get a new track on the soundtrack though but seriously Ghostface has been Tony Starks since forever and he is a big fan of the comics and animated series, I think he deserved a cameo.

I just saw a midnight opening, and holy shit maybe it's just me but it was insanely good. I thought Vantage Point was movie of the year but shit this is definitely up there.

If you see it, stay after the credits, the 2 secs of Samuel Jackson on screen are worth it.

I give it a 10/10.

yes, do not walk out of the theater until the credits are done rolling.

i was pretty skeptical but holy shit this was the best comic book licensed movie i've seen and the dark knight has a serious contender.  besides the fact that it was just really well done (not too corny, not too serious, just a nice balance of drama and humor and shit) the directing and writing and lines delivered by downey were pretty good.  i don't even know why they're releasing the incredible hulk i can already tell that movie will suck dick compared to this one.

p.s. this movie, out of 120 or so reviews, has a FUCKING 96% RATING on rotten tomatoes.  jesus christ.  no country for old men has about 200 reviews with a 94% COULD IRON MAN WIN OSCARS???

Either way, this movie was really good. I didn't stay 'til after the credits, I'm considering watching it again now.

I forgot to mention in my last post that I really liked the love play between stark and pepper.  It would have been super easy to take the cheap Hollywood cliche and make them kiss or make out near the end complete with symphonic orchestra blaring in the background but it was a really "professional" relationship and even though it's obviously not platonic the writers did a good job downplaying it while still having some tension between them.  I actually applauded when she was like .

this was pretty good. three things I liked:

1. finally, PEOPLE FUCKING DYING IN SUPERHERO MOVIES. christ, iron man kills lots of terrorists.
2. it wasn't as AMERICA FUCK YEA as I thought it might be, and was in fact kind of balanced.
3. I really liked how they finally captured the real reason people in comics become superheros. it isn't because some parent dies, but because they see something on tv, and most people are helpless, and they are not. that was the best part of the movie for me by a long shot.

heres some cameo shit only faggots like me catch

-the scene at the end of the credits featuring a familiar face is based on the Ultimates line of comic books, where the character and the actor playing him look the exact same (thus the joke)
-the awards acceptance and several other musical themes are old Iron Man animated series songs
-the Ten Rings is a reference to the Mandarin, Iron Man's nemesis in the comics, who will probably be in a later movie!

I originally thought the bald terrorist (Yinsen or whatever) was going to become the Mandarin or something.  Obidiah was ALWAYS seen fingering this massive ring and I assumed that Yinsen would kill him, take the ring, and it would reveal the locations of the other ones or something.  I knew they were going to show something after the credits and half expected to see someone in a high back chair watching the news then spinning around as the camera zooms in on his ring covered fingers.

But the actual ending scene itself was 10x better.

nah, Yinsen was the doctor, the terrorist was either unnamed or I forgot it (I think I read it's Raza). the Mandarin also has all ten rings!

I went to the cinema with in what was pretty much a triple date, and the men were all geeks (And some of the girls too) and we were all thinking the same shit about the Mandarin and all...

I didn't notice the music, though... Been ages since I last watched the Iron Man cartoon.
