When I saw that they were making Iron Man, my first reaction was “Fuck yeah!” My second reaction was, “Dear God, I hope they don’t screw this sucker up like they did to the Hulk!!!” Luckily, my first reaction was what continued to stick throughout the movie (and millions of previews before the movie came out).
Usually when a comic book company turns their very nice comic book series the movie is either decent or horrible. Most of the time the graphics are decent, if not worse than a two-year-old on a Mac (see 2003 Blockbuster disaster “Hulk”). The acting is also half-ass most the time, if not worse than an ass like in a certain movie starring a crime fighting hero based on a winged nocturnal creature in a dark city called Gotham. If you didn’t get the hint: Batman. Iron Man, though, was fucking amazing.
Now I don’t mean, HOLY SHIT C.G.I.!!!111!!!ELEVEN, I mean this movie kicked ass in every single way. First off, the action was there, and it stayed there. Within at least the first five minutes of the movie, you were ready for more intense violence. Plus, the lines weren’t shitty. Iron Man didn’t go around saying bullshit “hero” lines and actually knew his shit. Also, the two main chicks were actually pretty hot 
. Oh yeah, the graphics were still good.
Here is a hint: When you and watch the movie, make sure you sit through ALL the credits, there is something neat at the end.
