All-Purpose Iron Man film

[timomcshade]

Advance reviews are coming in and everyone is nuts about Iron Man. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 86% fresh soo far!

[Agent Helix]

CHUD's Devin Faraci (whom I don't get along with, but tend to respect as a reviewer) was very impressed, saying that it's destined to be the best liked superhero movie since Spider-Man 2. High praise indeed, if you ask me.

Damn, 12 bucks? I use to pay 5 bucks for a ticket

Didn't realize you'd be alive in those days.

I remember the 5.25-5.75 hike. To 6.25...

Am I misremembering, or did the cost of a movie ticket only go up 50 cents at a time?

[Shade 20x6]

I'm not sure if this is allowed or not, but preview movie screenings are pretty common, and I just so happened to score a pass to a Tuesday night screening.

Anyway, all I can say is:

Un

****ing

believable.

I don't feel that I'm exaggerating at all when I say it was every bit as good as Spider-Man 2 and X2.

Wow.

Watch it, then watch it again, lather, rinse, and repeat.

The casting was perfect. The special effects were perfect. The blend of action and comedy was perfect.

Amazing, amazing movie. I can't wait to see it many more times.

Oh, and SPOILER!Stan Lee as Hugh HefnerSPOILER! made my day.

[Colossus77]

Lol. I think that spoiler may be a good enough reason for me to go see it.

Don't you love it when people insist that you see a movie before you judge it? There's no way to win. Hollywood will always get money from you no matter how bad the movie is that way. People with that mentality just dumbfound me. Heaven forbid you check out a movie before you see it to make sure you're not flushing your money down the toilet and funding bad films.

Meanwhile, Iron Man does look awesome. Certainly worth whatever they're charging around here.

There's some truth to the statement that you can't really judge a film (or anything else, really) until you've actually experienced it for yourself. There's always that small minority of folks that either hates a movie that's generally well-liked or loves a movie that's generally despised.

However, judging the quality of a movie and being interested in a movie are two very different things. Trailers, reviews, etc... are all good tools to determine whether you're interested. All the good reviews in the world couldn't make me interested in seeing "Atonement" for example. It's just not my thing.

Do yourself a favor and sit patiently through the end credits... :)

Did the cut Samuel L. Jackson?

Please please please tell me that he is in there still as Nick Fury!

[Preus]

I'll be pissed if he was cut out of the movie. I was really looking forward to seeing his take on Sam Jackson.

[Shade 20x6]

Do yourself a favor and sit patiently through the end credits... :)

There was nothing after the end credits at the screening I saw. :(

[Dr. Chaos]

Paltrow looks adorable as Pepper.

For some reason, theres alot of actresses that can't really pull off red hair like that.

Looking at Famke's head in The Last Stand, yikes.

And yes, cutting Jackson (and Swank?) would be a huge slap in the face.

You don't relegate Mace Windu to DVD extra material.

[Preus]

Well, I'll see for myself on Friday if Jackson was cut from the movie (I pray he wasn't).

[DonC]

From what I understand, the Nick Fury scene was cut from preview and press screenings to preserve the surprise that it's there.

After the credits, spoilers:

there's a scene where Tony Stark comes home and Nick Fury is waiting for him.

end of spoilers
