Hopefully I'll see it next week after exams and papers are done.

Remember to tag your spoilers!

... this movie is good?

I was a huge comic book nerd growing up, but I thought the previews made this movie look like crap. I wasn't even planning on seeing it in theaters.

I really wanna go see this, but I need a suitable number of people to go with since going to the cinema on your own is just ultimate fail.

That's crazy. The trailers were fantastic. The movie was fantastic. It's 94% or something on Rottentomatoes.

Extremely enjoyable movie, though there were little things here and there that bugged me. It was still really fun though.

Does anyone have a good explanation for why, at the climax, Spoiler: the Arc Reactor's release of energy just kinda bounced Stark up on to the roof, but then channeled a load of energy into Obadiah and totally fried him? It seemed far too convenient to be really satisfying. I thought maybe it was because his reactor was still active and attracted the current, or something, but I dunno. I thought that was a little lame.

I've been harping on about this movie for the last year, and it was totally worth the wait. No overblown romantic storyline! No sitting around whining over whether it's morally sound to blast bad guys into hades! No ruining the billionaire playboy image (thanks a lot, Bruce Wayne)!

I'm always slightly nervous watching any Marvel film until I've spotted Stan Lee, and I freaked out at The Nightwatchman a bit. Perfect casting.

Azar it was because Spoiler: Starks early model arc reactor was out of power so it couldn't get fried but instead got charged up, where as Obidiah still had one with energy and all his electrical systems running so they shorted and blew out. Or something like that I'm no physics expert. >.>

I just saw this movie tonight with friends and I was pleasently surprised. It's a good movie. Not great, nothing fantastic, but entertaining and worthwhile, which is the most one can really hope for from a comic book-based movie.

However, the previews for The Dark Knight look amazing.

[Ouch!]

I just got back, and I thought the Iron Man movie was sufficiently badass.
