I saw it with my two teenagers and we all gave it thumbs up. Downey Jr. was great.

Just got back from it. First time I've been to the show around here in the middle of the day and had a full house. Went with my 8 and 15 year old sons. All 3 of us LOVED it. Fun movie!
Downey, Jr. was excellent in it, and Gwyneth Paltrow was actually pretty smokin'.

Just saw it, awesome movie
Kids loved it
Downey Jr is excellent, good role for him, surprisingly

Best part is, it did not look all CGI-fake

We just got in from the flic too, great show and Downey really redeemed himself - his acting was very good and he nailed the part.

The scene after the credits set the stage for the sequel.

Damn, I didn't catch the thing after the credits. I see that it's on youtube so I'll have to check it out once the Vegas webcast is over.

Just went to check it out and in the past 20 minutes they've removed most of the videos due to copyright issues with Paramount Studios. Had to search around to find one still working...so anyone that sees the movie, stay til after the credits are done!

May try to take the boys to see it tonight after we get home from racing and visiting a racing buddy who broke his hand last weekend at Muddy Creek. My boys want to see Speed Racer too.

Saw the Hulk trailer, he looked worst than the first one, imo..RDjr. pulled it off pretty good...The difference between the comics and the movie is that "Jarvis" was a computer, and they showed you how badass that suit was...

I've read tons of great reviews about it, I may try to sneak off and see it this week at some point. I also wanna see the other sorta-superhero movie "Hancock" starring Will Smith. It looks pretty funny.

I haven't seen the movie but have read some reviews and it seems like everyone likes it. I'm glad Jon Favreau stepped up to the plate and delivered to Marvel comic fans.

I wasn't familiar at all with the Iron Man comic book character going in, so when I first saw the previews my reaction was, "They made a movie out of what??"
The storyline is current and has a "realistic" feel rather than the cheesy stuff they've done with most of the superhero flicks.
I didn't even see the other Hulk film because it looked too goofy - having watched the Hulk tv series, the other movie looked like they just went a bit overboard with the Hulk. I'd have to go see the new one just because Ed Norton is in it.This one doesn't appear to be a sequel, just starting fresh like the other movie didn't happen.
Looks like they are setting up a future Avengers flick.

i did a lil research, eric bana turned down the role, as this next hulk is a sequel.

i really liked the first one. it was very dark. i hate it when they change actors.

xmen - well done. good casting. stayed true to the comic. stayed true to the comic's subplot (race relations)
x2 - great sequel
x3 - not as good as the other two, but set up the phoenix saga quite well

batman - 1 & 2 were the best imo. cant stand any of the rest.

spiderman - cheesy love story, but thats what the comic was. so imo they did a great job in the adaptation. the third one was horrible tho.

hulk - like i said, i liked it.
hulk 2 - like i said, hate it when they change actors, it looks like the whole cast is different

punisher - true to the comic. liked it, another dark movie, but so was the comic.
punisher 2 - coming soon

fantastic four - coulda been a lot better. casting was good but the writing was pretty lame. i thought both movies had poor endings thus the reason i have mixed opinions of this series.

howard the duck - cult classic

iron man - havent seen it yet.
thor - coming soon
wolverine - coming soon

daredevil - nobody read this comic and nobody watched this movie for good reason.
elektra - i thought it couldnt get any worse until...
catwoman - no comments necessary.
superman - didnt see it. too big a fan of the original.
ghost rider - another bad apple.

and yeah, they are setting up a avengers movie, with all the same actors. norton, the guy who plays thor, and downy jr have signed on.

From everything I've read, the new Hulk isn't really a sequel, just a "do over."
'Iron Man' was the first venture from the new Marvel Studios, though the film is distributed by Paramount. Many thought the first Hulk film strayed too far from the comic book story, so Marvel Studios got the rights back and made this new Hulk film. The new film also includes the "origin story" of the character, so they more or less pretend the first film didn't happen.
Looks like 'Iron Man' is a smash. They originally aimed for a $45-50 mil opening, then adjusted their expectations to around $60 mil after good feedback in screenings. It ended up pulling in just over $100 mil this weekend domestically and nearly $100 mil overseas as well. Looks like Marvel Studios is getting the whole franchise going with a whole string of new movies.

Its a great movie, funnier, cooler, and more enjoyable than any previous Marvel effort, including Spider-Man.

'Batman Begins' was easily the best of all the films listed.

The difference between a good comic book movie and bad comic book movie is on how much they rely on cgi to carry the movie. If they develop the characters and make you care about them it's good. If they expect the action to do it all its bad. I had all the early Marvels in the 60's so I have some strong opinions on how they should go.

I'm going to Iron Man tonight and have high hopes.

Is the Avengers going to be with original line-up or one of the many incarnations?

JPT, its a good flic - you wont be disappointed. Good characters, acting, jokes thrown in, (loved the robot with the fire extinguisher), current plot, cool gadgets but not overly done and just enough CGI to keep it cool. Downey & Paltrow both deliver, and Jeff Bridges likewise does really good job with his character. It was the first time I could watch him in a movie and not think of 'The Dude'. LOL

I personally hate the jokes they threw in. I didnt think they were funny at all, and thought trying to give the computer a personality was lame and took away from the movie. But, everybody else in the theatre was laughing, so I guess its just me that doesnt like that stuff.

From what I've read so far, it appears they may be releasing Capt. America and Thor movies ('09?). I don't know much about the comic books, but with Marvel Studios taking the reins then using the major studios to release the movies, Marvel is gaining the control they desire so they can stay truer to the comic books (although updating the stories like they did with Iron Man).
