SERIOUSLY!!!! SAMUEL F***ING L. F***ING JACKSON!!!!!
So yesterday my friends and I went to see the new Iron man movie, and it was incredible. I have to say that I went into the movie not expecting much at all. I figured it would be just another marvel attempt to cash in on an iconic figure without really putting any depth or imagination into it. I was happily mistaken.
AS NICK F***ING FURY!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!
Having seen zodiac a few weeks ago, I new that Robert Downey Jr. would be perfect for the role of Tony Stark, but until yesterday I don't think I truly realized HOW perfect he is. I mean seriously, this is the casting equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. Hell, it's like shooting dead fish in a barrel. He was so charismatic and sarcastic that I literally got goosebumps at several points.
AND THERE'S GONNA BE AN AVENGERS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!
And the rest of the movie was superbly done as well. Gwyneth Paltrow was the epitome of nerd-sexy as the always dependable "pepper" potts. The Iron Man suit was spot on. The CGI was believable and exciting. The bad guys were gleefully evil and wonderfully over the top at parts. And to top it all off, there's even a knock-down drag-out machine-man kaiju style brawl.
AND IT'S APPARENTLY GONNA BE BASED ON THE ULTIMATES!!!!!!!!!!
The only minor flaw I found in the movie's execution was that the song "Iron Man" by black Sabbath was not included in the actual movie, despite being in the previews, however even this is tempered by the fact the it was included during the credits and the films actual soundtrack was more than decent.
OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!! NERDGASM!!!!!!!!!
All in all, this movie represents something of a renaisance for superhero movies after the inexcusable tragedies that were Fantastic Four II, Spiderman III, and X-men III. And with the trailer for the new hulk movie preceding it (Starring Edward Norton and Tim Roth!) and Captain America and Thor in pre-production, as well as rumors of more things yet to come on the horizon, it's shaping up to be a damn fine next couple of years for super heroes in the cinema.
Aaaaaaaaaand I'm spent....
