Just got back from seeing Iron Man and I have to say that it is amazing. It was a good solid movie with great performances from Robert Downey Jr, Terence Howard, and Jeff Bridges. The action was insane and even though it was a big spectacle it felt small and intimate. The special effects felt real and not super-CGIed. But most importantly it was a geek-tastic.
It had the feel of a Marvel comic. The characters were perfect. The armor looked right. The references to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury showing up to talk about the Avenger Initiative…it was almost too much. Plus there was a trailer at the beginning for The Incredible Hulk and it looks they got that one right as well and rumor has it that Tony Stark is going to pop up in that movie as well. If they keep this up and keep integrating the movies together, we may just get a successful Avengers movie one day. I have high hopes and I can’t wait to get back to the theater to see this one again.
