greenconversesWent to go see Iron Man last night for the last school sponsored midnight movie of the semester. Alas, no more drunk audiences until next fall for me.
To sum it up in one phrase: completely fucking awesome.
Iron Man was probably the first movie I've really enjoyed all year and probably the best super hero/comic book themed movie I've seen since X-Men 2 or Spiderman 3. Still haven't watched Batman Begins so that doesn't count.
It's funny, smart, and not exactly action heavy. I liked how most of the focus of the movie was about Tony Stark developing the technology for the suit and that the battle sequences didn't make up much of the movie. As much as I love action movies, sometimes the overwhelming amount gets annoying during rewatches.
Also, Robert Downey Jr.? Completely perfect in this role. He was just so good in this movie. And kinda hot too. :D
Although the best part of the movie had to be the NEW INDIANA JONES TRAILER that they showed with it. I was squeeing like the best little fan girl when that showed up.
Anyway, gotta go get ready for my last day of class before Finals Week. Ciao!

In the cartoon version I saw a while ago (Dad's fault - he's a diehard fan of Iron Man) I thought Tony Stark looked like what J-Flan's evil counterpart would look like. Yay for hot older guys! \o/
