Just heard a review from a friend...."IronMan is AWESOME."

I liked his over-the-top snarkiness. I don't know how it fits with the character (from the comic books), but it works for me in the trailers.

I'm sure you know he was Batman- but just in case.....

I'm planning to see Iron Man. It looks good, the kind of movies I like to see. Hopefully this weekend.

Same. Totally.

No he didn't. It was Val Kilmer and then later Christian Bale!

Okay - I saw a couple of print ads for this movie and didn't realize until I read it here that it even WAS Robert Downey, Jr.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR....YUM.

Reviews are very solid so far. My interest is growing.


Michael Keaton taught me never to pshaw casting until you see the person in the role. Christian Bale is a killer Bruce Wayne but Keaton remains (imo) the best Batman.


Tom Cruise was another one people groaned about as LeStat ... until he freaking nailed it.

I like Keaton but those two movies are a mess. Christian Bale is Batman.

On the other hand, I am looking forward to seeing Iron Man as well. I may go this weekend. The new mall in Glendale, which happens to be right next door to the old mall in Glendale, is an attempt to re-create the glory of The Grove, so I may check it out and then see the movie.

Ok, it's been a while since I've seen thiS film, but i don't remember cruise nailing Lestat at all. I hated his portrayal.
