I AM... someone or other

IRON MAN.

I'm gonna withhold further comments until more people see it, and until I see it at least once more. But for right now, I'm simply gonna say this:

Hell. Yes. Just might be up there with BATMAN BEGINS, SPIDER-MAN 2 and X2. One of the best superhero films ever.

With a 95% positive review rating on rottentomatoes.com, I feel confident recommending it to most anybody here. You don't need to be a geek; it's Robert Downey Jr, what more do you need?

Also: stick around after the credits. Take it from me, I cannot stress this enough. Stay after the credits.

In short. IRON MAN. Go. Go now.



As a bonus, they also had the new trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT. I'd already seen this bootlegged earlier this week, and you know what? I was still on the edge of my seat, jaw open, stunned. When the trailer hits the internet this Sunday, I will be watching it about five times in a row. Harvey's line at the end, that alone... tear my heart out, man.

Mom, despite being suspicious of comics in general, tends to really like superhero movies. So every year for the last...decade, almost...we've gone to see a superhero movie for Mother's Day. It's a little weird, no?

Weird but delightful. Furthermore and therefore, I dare say this will be one of your best Mother's Days ever.

Just one thing (only a spoiler to me): do they use the Sabbath tune in the movie itself? I really want that to be happening.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Not the whole song (nor, if I recall correctly, any of the sung parts either), but they definitely use it in a perfect place. Furthermore, the score definitely takes cues from it throughout.

Then this WILL be the best Mother's Day ever!
