    A little over 2 weeks to go. I was hesitant at first. Yet, the more previews I see; the more anxious I become.

    I was hoping they would not use the Black Sabbath song but they did.

    Robert Downey, Jr is a great choice. I am glad they picked him & not DiCrapio like early rumor suggested.

    I agree completely with you, Downey is hilarious/talented and the Sabbath song is very played out.

    I can't wait for this movie. Haha, maybe I'll take my girlfriend to it for our 2 year anniversary (which is the day before).

    I'm hoping that the commercials are just trying to get casual fans/kids to go see it and don't actually show what the movie will be like.

    Iron Man is one of my two favorite comic characters, so I may see it even though it looks corny as hell. On a plus side Robert Downey is in it, so it may turn out to be worth the price.

    Iron Man can't be as bad as the third Spider Man.

    Iron Man, Beast, & Wolverine IMO are the only Marvel characters with any depth & substance.

    Don't forget about Captain America. That is a classic character with a great story up until his "death." I'll always be a fan of Captain America, Iron Man, Batman, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, War Machine, Black Panther, Flash and the original Green Lantern among others.

    I love Iron Man as well. The comics are great, though I don't own too many of them.

    I went with a couple friends to check it out tonight but they sold out 2 hours before it started (the last viewing). So we went to another theater and they were also sold out. Guess I'll see it some time during the week.

    The movie was easily one of the best super hero movies. RDJ nailed it. Good movie, awesome effects.

    Now Iron Man was just cracking the surface, TDK is going to finish it all this summer.

    Awesome movie.

    Don't leave until after the credits, there is a nice treat there for some hardcore comic book fans.

    I would rank it behind Batman Begins, Spider-man 1 & 2, and maybe X-men 2.

    What are the chances it flops?


    Anybody going to check out the new Hulk movie? Edward Norton plays Bruce Banner this time.

    I will but I'm hoping not to like it.

    Last thing I heard was that Norton is unhappy with the direction of the film and may drop out of the franchise.

    That would suck. Marval wants to make the Avengers, and they want to use the same people from the movies.

    I absolutely loved Iron Man. I saw it twice this weekend, once on Saturday with my girlfriend and then again on Sunday with a couple friends. So far it's the best movie I've seen this year and, at least in my opinion, it's the best comic book movie ever. The Dark Knight might have something to say about that, but this movie takes the cake right now.
