Went to see Iron Man tonight and, as expected, it was awesome! A review will be posted by our own Wordslinger, so be on the lookout for it soon.
Just wanted to warn you all to stay put until after the film’s end credits have finished, because there’s an extra scene.
I don’t want to go into anymore detail, because if this is the first you’re hearing of this extra scene, that means you haven’t read all of the spoilers about it yet.
Trust me, just stay in your seat!
Ok, if you MUST know, see the SPOILER at the end of this post.
After seeing the movie, I can say: 1) way to make a comeback Robert Downey, Jr.!; 2) starting off a movie with an AC/DC song is one way to hook me in immediately; 3) Jon Favreau, you sir, are officially trustworthy; 4) Shaun Toub, oh the things you can do with a car battery — if I’m ever in captivity, I’d want you to be there to have my back; 5) Gwyneth Paltrow, bravo for a performance that made me forget that you’re only in it for the paycheck; 6) Terrence Howard, sorry, but aside from your one foreshadowing line, I just wasn’t feeling you; 7) Jeff Bridges, thank you for not Nick Nolte-ing your role — you were totally badass!; and 8) Clark Gregg, you are my new favorite “Hey, I know that guy. Where do I know that guy?” guy.
WARNING: SPOILER BELOW

Frick! Missed it! Was at a late screening so I couldn’t be bothered sticking around. Bummer.

Great movie indeed!

You missed the best part in your Spoiler: Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) says to Tony Stark: “You think you’re the only one?…I want to talk to you about the AVENGERS INITIATIVE!!!”
Holy crap! THE AVENGERS!! Awesome teaser…and makes sense with Robert Downey Jr. doing a cameo in the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie as well. Look out for an Avengers movie sometime soon…

i saw much wanna see this movie …
all the trailers and hype … whoa …
Comment by subcorpus — May 4, 2008 @ 3:43 am
wtf?! Samuel Jackson is fucking weird as Nick Fury..
Isn’t there anyone else beside him to play as Nick Fury?
Comment by ZaiD — May 4, 2008 @ 4:25 am
AC/DC song? Iron Man is Black Sabbath, unless there is another song in the movie I missed.
Comment by Fan — May 4, 2008 @ 9:06 am
“Back in Black” at the beginning of the movie. The song they are listening to in the jeep before being ambushed?
Comment by Elkhawk — May 4, 2008 @ 9:44 am
@jake It’s a spoiler for people who don’t want to know anything BEFORE they see a movie. Lots of people like that in the world.
@Albert I didn’t “miss” anything. I chose to leave it out b/c. I wasn’t going to put anything about who was in the end credits, but compromised by adding the small spoiler. Again, a lot of people don’t want to do everything BEFORE they see a movie.
@Fan I, of all people in the known universe, KNOW that Iron Man is Black Sabbath. Iron Man begins the end credit roll, and as far as I remember, they don’t play the part that says “I am Iron Man,” which sucks (yes, it was in the trailers, but not in the movie itself). The AC/DC song I was referring to is “Back in Black” and it’s right in the beginning when Tony Stark is in the military jeep. There’s a radio in there with him and that’s the song that’s playing. Btw, another cool song in the movie was Suicidal Tendencies’ “Institutionalized.” I wonder how many people knew that song. This is the one where the singer (Mike Muir) says “All I wanted was a Pepsi, but she wouldn’t give it to me.” The music in this movie is kickass!

Two Thumbs Up! for Iron Man Movie

I LIKE the idea of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury… In fact, I thought the Fury in the “Ultimate” marvel comics and in the animated Avenger’s movie was DELIBERATELY designed to look like Mr. Jackson.
One thing’s for sure…Jackson will make a BETTER Fury than David Hasselhoff did in that god-awful TV movie….

Here’s another, will probably disappear soon…
Comment by bobwilson — May 5, 2008 @ 12:31 pm
I missed the scene. JEEZ.
Oh well. The music kicked ass. The movie kicked ass.
Lots of ass-kicking.
Also, I did nudge my uncle at that part when “INSTITUTIONALIZED” started playing and went HEY I LIKE THIS SONG. IT’S INSTITUTIONALIZED. YES.
Of course, I’m a total geek, because the only reason I love it is from playing Guitar Hero. A lot. But it’s a great song, regardless :)

The movie was good…but it was not worthed to sit there until after the credits are over just to watch that 1 min extra scene which was pretty lame.
Comment by wam — May 6, 2008 @ 9:36 pm
WOW I watch the movie 3 times and never stayed till the end, next time I will lol
Comment by juegos — May 7, 2008 @ 10:31 pm
dude it would be a lot cooler if they had ghost rider in the avenger movie because those three to gether iron man the incredible hulk and ghost rider could kick some serios ass alien terroist you name it who it would be the would get murdered
Comment by Zach — May 21, 2008 @ 9:47 pm
any one else agree
Comment by Zach — May 21, 2008 @ 9:50 pm
No, Ghost Rider was never an Avenger… so that would NOT be cool… YOU are an idiot.
