Default Iron Man

DA DA DADADA! DAAA DAAA DANANA DA DA DA!

You'd better believe I was there on opening night. Iron Man is one of my three favourite comics (the other two being the Flash and the Fantastic Four). And while the movie wasn't perfect, it was damn close -- maybe the best superhero movie to date. These guys get Tony Stark, they get Iron Man, and they clearly love their work.

Who else has seen it? What'd you think?

Well, I haven't seen it yet, but my sister, who is NOT into comic books, has. Twice. And she liked it. Take what you will from THAT.

I've heard enough positive things about it that I now want to see it.

Seen it, thought it was great. Would pay to see it again.

Okay, to change the direction a smidge...favorite Iron Man villain, anyone?

This'll sound a bit twisted, but I still have a soft spot for The Living Laser. It's amazing how many tricks that guy has. Straight laser blasts, creating holograms, setting the air on fire, ultrabright light bursts to blind his opponents, the list goes on and on.

It was really good. Mostly because it was essentially "Robert Downey Junior: The Movie"

Otherwise it was rather formulaic. But in not taking itself too seriously and having one of the best leading genre actors this side of PotC, it was a home run.

Batman Begins is still better.
