I Am Iron Man

Holy crab! Iron Man was Great! I'm not a big fan of the comics, or of many comics in general, but this movie blew my socks off!
Before I went, I was thinking that the hype for the movie was pretty good and the few trailers I had seen looked cool, but I was still totally prepared for the stunning level of suck that most superhero movies have somehow managed to attain lately.
Iron Man however, was something that I wasn't prepared for. This movie has turned Iron Man into a movie icon for me. I'll say right now that it is just as good (but with a different style and intent) as the first Batman (Keaton/Nicholas)! To me Batman is the superhero movie I hold as the closest thing to perfection a movie based on a comic can get.
That said, it isn't without it's quirks and annoyances. Iron Man isn't a cinematic masterpeice, it'll never be praised as a genre and time defying work of genius, but still it provides moments that have managed to stick in my head for a week now and make me grin every time I think of them. Iron Man is the way summer blockbuster movies should be made.

I saw it a week and a half after it's release and enjoyed it thourohgly. Right now, it makes you wonder how "THe Increadable hulk will fair (Allthough, it's got Ed Norton and Liz Tayler in it, so it has to be decent.)
