I saw it today too. I'm not a big comic book fan, but I am a big RD Jr fan and he's simply wonderful in this film. I'm glad the kid selling me popcorn told me to stay through the ending credits because they were long and while I usually sit through most of them, I probably would have walked out. I give this film a thumbs up!

Going to see this tomorrow despite the fact that Gwynnie Paltrow is in it (I find her insufferable). But I love Robert Downey Jr. more than I hate Gwynnie, and I heard Downey is a snarkalicious comic book hero, so we're going.

My daughter and boyfriend saw it last night and loved it! They told me that I need to go and see it. I just love Robert Downey Jr.

So glad that RD Jr. still has a viable movie career and a great life. I remember reading ages ago that he couldn't get insured to make a movie--they were afraid he wouldn't live to the end of filming. I thought he was a goner and he is still here, bless his heart!

I'm glad he's still here too. I do have to say though that even when he was stoned, he was an awesome actor.

Nice article on how Robert Downey Jr. got the part and how the movie came together with its cast: Robert Takes a Screen Test

We went to see the movie on Friday and loved it. However, I wish I would have read this list before then - as we were leaving, I asked if there was a scene after the credits, but dh didn't want to stay and find out. What did I miss?

Samuel L Jackson appeared in IronMan's apartment and there was a conversation about "The Avengers" or something like that. I assumed it had something to do with the comics - it didn't mean much to me as I'm not a comic fan.

We went to the early movie, and stayed for a late movie tonight. The early movie we picked was Iron Man. This was for my boyfriend (I picked Baby Mama for the second). But I actually liked this movie. I wasn't bowled over or anything, but it was worth the 2-for-1 money. A couple of things I had trouble suspending my disbelief for. First, how the heck was Terence Howard EVERYWHERE all the time? He was in Vegas for Stark's award, he was in the car behind Stark in A'stan, he just HAPPENED to be in the helicopter that saved Stark in A'stan. Then he's chillin' in Malibu whenever Stark needs him. He's on some base training new Air Force guys, then, when IronMan goes and blows stuff up in A'stan, Terence Howard just HAPPENS to be in the room when the air force jets are following IronMan, so he can call off the planes? And then he just HAPPENS to be back in Malibu to "stop by" Stark's house when Pepper calls him? Pffft!!! AND I'm supposed to believe that Terence Howard has all of that military power? Whatever. The second thing that I sort of had trouble with was the fact that IronMan was able to go up into airspace, and NOT be detected by the military. I know that even for a little science camp rocket building workshop we did, these amateur rocket guys came in, and they were telling us that 200 ft was the highest you could put something in the air (even as small as a model rocket out of a paper towel roll), and not be in trouble with government airspace. So yeah, oddly enough, that part bugged me, yet I BELIEVED in the two robots fighting on the highway. LOL Anyways, it was well-paced, and overall a good movie. I'd recommend it.

It was okay. I should have waited til it was out on DVD tho. DH loved it tho. That's my point, it was more of a guy film. A bit too violent for me. On the bright side, I loved the cast. Not a Paltrow fan, but she was perfect in this.

Finally saw this at a late matinee today - really, really liked it (and was glad I saw it on the big screen). Great (and unlikely) marriage of an actor and a part. Even Gwyneth was good in this, and she looked very pretty with strawberry blond hair as opposed to that bleachy split-end look she liked to sport for the past couple of years. I'd see it again.
