Iron Man

[Maverick]

I just saw it today. I never read any of the comic books but it was a very cool movie. I think RDJ did a great job. I eagerly await the sequel. I took my 5 y/o son to it and one thing I enjoyed was there was no blood/guts/gore..pretty safe..and he enjoyed it as well..lol Not bad for a movie directed by Jon Favreau (sic).

Very good family movie. You stayed past the credits, right?

Saw it the Friday after it opened. Loved it. I dug ol' shellhead comics as a kid, so I really dug some of the nods to fans in there, but also saw how accessable it could be to someone completely new to the franchise. Probably the best superhero movie I've seen!

I was thinking of taking my kids to see this. From the sounds of it, seems like it will be a good movie to see.

Meh

While I agree its a good family movie, iron man was OK...not great, just OK. I guess I just don't like bob downy jr

i did like the last line in the movie tho (don't worry - i wont spoil it)

Oh, the music. I forgot to mention. Of the three May summer movies, it had the best music, but it was the first time I can remember not being superbly amazed by the music of someone associated with Hans Zimmer.

you mean I have to sit all the way through the movie to hear what you don't want to spoil? I plan on going this weekend.

We could tell you here, but I don't remember if we have any approximations of spoiler tags for the boards. Something that puts it into black text black background marked spoiler, so you'd have to highlight it deliberately to see what we wrote.

This movie is really good, and I agree with the above mentioned comments, good family movie, and good ending. I think it was an overall great movie.

There is such a tag here...it's the [ SPOILER ] tag... e.g.:

This is hidden from view...yeah!

By the way...I enjoyed the movie as well. I did stay past the credits...but I didn't think it was worth having to sit through all of the credits to see. I guess it's just a peeve of mine that the producers make me sit through the credits to see just a little glimpse into the next movie. Why not just put it at the end!?!

Well, it answered the question for me as to why he wasn't used in the promo.

Spoiler detailing the after-credits sequence:

Once I heard several months back that Samuel L. Jackson was cast as Nick Fury, I was super excited to see it. Then his name never appeared on anything big. I wondered, WTF?, they have SLJ but advertise Downey? In any case, it was, to me, worth it to see him talk about superheroes and Avenger Initiative.

(yes, I also wanted to test the spoiler tag!)
