Ironman - Rec (No Spoilers)

[strangevisitor7]

The family got to see a sneak preview of the New Ironman Movie last night. Guess it pays to collect comic books and have an in for free tickets. It was a great way to celebrate Seth's 15th birthday!

No spoilers just a big huge positive recommendation.

The move was terrific and Robert Downey, Jr. was perfect, I mean perfect, as Ironman. They basically got everything right; from Tony's snarkiness to the way the suit looks and works.

We all loved it!!!

Yay! Thanks for the review, cos I'm hoping to watch it this weekend with my bro. Good to know that it won't be as painful to watch as The Hulk or the 2nd Fantastic 4 movie were.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

No we actually ranked up with Spiderman 1 & 2. We were so happy.

We hated Hulk and FF for the record.

Awesome. I need to go see the movie. I was kind of scare for it. But I will go take a shot at it. lol.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Yep we were very relieved. Ironman is one of Hubby's favorite and he felt they did everything right.

[dhfreak.livejournal.com]

That is awesome. I am so going to see it. lol. It comes out tomorrow world wide lol.

It's on my agenda for this weekend. It's good to have some positive word-of-mouth before I spring for a ticket, thanks!

Your welcome. These days it is so expensive, especially when we take the kids and they want popcorn - it's a real big deal.

Hope you enjoy it!

Man you are so freaken lucky. I would've chopped parts of my body just to get a sneak peek at that movie.
Next year the Marvel movie is Thor and Captain America BTW.

It was a nice surprise when hubby came home with the tickets. Thor is one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters. I was giddy toi hear they were making a movie. But to be honest the potential for campiness is high with Thor. I hope they don;t go that way and I'm not sure how they are going to pull off serious.

They're making Thor? O.o

That was the first comic I read. I got interested due to the character's use in adventures in Babysitting. Wonder which identity they'll use, since he's gone through several.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Of course we'd have the same first comic. Thor was the first super hero comic I ever bought was the issue right before Walt Simonson took over and the phenomenal Beta Ray Bill arc began. Needless to say I was hooked

[pen37.livejournal.com]

LOL! Too funny. I started with Thor, and followed the character to thunderstrike. Then the X-men kind of lured me away with Wolverine. (it didn't help that Thor was getting kind of unreadable and the art was only so-so for the run at the time).

I don't read many comics now. I kind of got tired of the all-new-all-different-all-over-again X-men. Although I occasionally pick it up Wheedon's work and skim it.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I don't read that many myself now either. And no suprise I too Mostly read the Whedon stuff too plus the SPN comic which is pretty good this go round. After that if a particular author/artist I like is doing something. I fell in and out of love with x-men too. There are way too many books and no consistency at all.

Hubby is still a big fan and we are running our of storage space [g]

I tend to wait for the trade paperbacks. But the reason I stopped buying monthly was that I was spending $60 a month just for the privelige of complaining about what was going on with them.

Planning on seeing that this weekend, glad to hear it's worth it :) After seeing the trailer I'm very much looking forward to it.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

We weren't the only ones who loved it. It got a big round of applause at the end. Enjoy!

[shallanelprin.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Word!!! That was so good. Beyond amazing. Did you stick around 'til after the credits? That has to be the most expensive 15 seconds ever, but completely amazing.

There better be another one.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

We stayed all the way to the end but there was no sneak peak. i guess becasue we saw it on a preview it wasn't attached. I did watch it on Youtube later - freakin' awesome.

As for a second movie - I say it's a done deal. According to box office mojo it raked in 104mil. putting it in the top ten far all time highest grossing opening weekends. Yep the squeal is coming soon.

[pen37.livejournal.com]

I've seen previews and liked them enough that this is the first movie in a while that I've been excited about. I may go tomorrow night with friends

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

It's not just me everyone is giving it a big thumbs up!

[lyl-devil.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Some friends and I were planning to go see it anyway, but it's always nice to have confirmation that it will be an awesome movie!

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I know. we were going to see it this weekend but when Hubby was at the comic book store they offered him free tickets. Very cool (i think it's because we spend entirely too much money there)

[lark_ascends]

I saw it last night and really enjoyed it.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Yep it's a winner
