Holy socks -- did you guys see Iron Man?!

As a comics geek, it did my heart proud to see Robert Downey Jr. hamming it up as a drunken, swashbuckling Tony Stark. And how about that hidden ending?

Excelsior!

      It was really good and not stupid. Make sure you stay 'till after the credits!

        I thought the film was great. The first hour or so is probably some of the best comic book adaptation I've seen on film. I thought it did fade a bit towards the end, but it's still one of the best superhero movies ever made. Robert Downey Jr. was just perfect in the role.

        My friend made me leave during the credits, so I guess I'll have to see it again! Oh, and Marvel already announced the sequel for 2010.

          The cast was signed for a 3 picture deal, so there'll be two sequels.

            I'm on my way out to see it right now, but I wanted to comment that the second film will apparently (according to 'Attack of the Show') feature THOR!!! OMG <bounce>! Sorry to geek, but Thor was my absolute fave superhero, when I was a kid. Yay! Anyhow, off to see Iron Man : ).

              Everything that Mark said : ). I seriously enjoyed it, and Downey was fantastic. Very happy with giving 3 hours of my life to that film...go see it!!!

                Ah, here it is. I did like it. (sorry if I double posted...for some reason the tribe search didn't find this...strange...must have been problems with the search indexes today or something). In any case, the glitz and panache won out over the plot and physical impossibilities--I don't normally like comics brought to the screen but, this was a fun movie and definitely one of the best in the genre.

    I'm gonna add to the good movie reviews. Loved the movie, though I woulda liked a bit better final battle. Definitely a fantastic comic book based movie. Props to Jon Favreau too!
