Iron Man was AWESOME! The movie definitely did not disappoint. I was suppose to go for the 8:00 P.M. showing but it was sold out! The showing after is, 8:45 P.M., ended up being sold out too! I had to go to the 9:30 P.M. showing, but it was worth the wait. Jon Favreau definitely struck a good balance between comedy and adventure.

I’m surprised I liked Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, Pepper Potts, since in most movies the female character annoys the hell out of me! Mary Jane, Lois Lane, Rachel Dawes, and Sue Storm just to name a few.

God, this movie is just screaming for a sequel! Especially for the Avengers! Haha, the only people who stayed after the credits seemed to be comic book fans because when Samuel L. Jackson turned around and said he was Nick Fury, everyone was like “WHOOOOO”. I squealed with exitement LOL.

Can’t wait for War Machine and alcoholic Tony Stark in Iron Man 2! This is definitely one of the best comic book movies I’ve seen. Thank God it didn’t end up like last years Ghost Rider, which ended up being very disappointing! Like Iron Man, I did research on the character and it’s mythology. Also like Iron Man, I fell in love with the character! Unfortunately, Ghost Rider ended up being a huge disappointment! Thank goodness Iron Man ended up being good (and received well by critics).

The only thing I didn’t like is that they didn’t give any background history for the supporting characters, even just a little would have been good.

I feel that if someone else had been cast as Tony Stark, the movie would not have been anywhere near as good as it is with Robert Downey Jr. Just as Hugh Laurie’s fantastic acting on House,MD helped get the show to return for a second season when it first launched, Robert Downey Jr. is what helped the movie be so awesome. Also, I’m not saying that the supporting cast members for Iron Man or House are bad at acting, they’re all fantastic actors; it’s just the main actors that helped make both fandoms very good.

For a comic book movie, I give it a 8/10.

On the other hand, this just ruined my day; Catwoman was cancelled.
