OT: Iron Man

Keyser Soze · May 2nd, 2008, 09:03 AM

I went to see Iron Man early this morning (midnite show at the Arclight's Cineramadome in Hollywood) and let me tell you... Bloody brilliant. Action-packed, beautifully directed, geniusly cast... A great way to start the summer movie season...If you go see it... be sure to stick around and watch the neat treat at the end of the credits.

I bought my tickets 2 weeks ago (me = geek) for the midnight show only to get really pissed off when an 8pm show was announced. I drove to the Arclight to change my tickets, but the only ones available for the 8pm show were much worse than the ones I already had. Having gotten little sleep and a rather horrible day at work, I proceeded to go pick up my friend and head to the Arclight. We get to our seats and the presentation starts... A bloody dream set of trailers for a geek like myself:

Full Trailer to The Incredible Hulk

Full Trailer to Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Full Trailer to The Dark Knight

Because we were supposed to be the first audience to see it and the circumstances (8pm show) would have prevented that, the film's director, jon Favreau and star, Robert Downey Jr., were on-hand to present the film. That was a hell of a treat and, outside of the movie, it more than makes up for the fact that I've ony slept 2.5 hours.

Go see it... Go see it at the Arclight... The suit worn by Robert Downey Jr. is on display there, there are 21+ showings of the film this weekend there...

OK... I'm going to go get a shower and try to look presentable for work.

Saw it tonight and LOVED IT!!! I have been a fan of Iron Man since I learned to read. Unfortunately, I didn't hang around til the end of the credits, as I had one of those HUGE sodas and needed to leave in a hurry once the credits started... Keyser, could you PM me and let me know what I missed? Please?
