Cue heavy  metal music…..

So a couple of guys from work, Jess, and I went yesterday to see one of the ‘midnight’ screenings that start at 8:00pm. First a quick rant….if the official screenings start at 8pm, doesn’t that mean that the movie opens on May 1st, instead of May 2nd? Maybe that confusion is why the theater was empty. When I say empty, i think there were 15 people including us. Man, I hope it does better this weekend.

I’ve seen most of the Marvel Comic book movies since Spider-Man. I think I missed Punisher and Elektra. I’ve seen most of the DC Comic book movies too. I’d say that the best of all time were the original Superman, Superman II: The Donner Cut version (had the potential to be great….), Batman, Batman Begins, Spider-Man, Blade, X-Men, and X-Men 2. I’m very glad to add Iron Man to this list of movies.

This is the best comic book movie that I’ve seen in a while, and more importantly, it’s a good movie period.  So far it’s the best reviewed movie of 2008.

A lot of people laughed when they heard that Robert Downey Jr. was going to play Tony Stark. Well, let me tell you, he owns the character.

So go see the movie, and then email me and we can chat about what you thought. Or more importantly leave a comment. If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you stay through the end of the credits.
