Iron Man

I saw Iron Man on Thursday night. My brother and I went to the 11PM showing, and I figured it would be packed. Now, anyone that knows me can attest to the fact that I like to have a good seat when I go to the movies. So I tend to get to the theater early. The more packed I expect the movie to be, the earlier I get there. In this case, I expected there to be legions of people out to see the movie, so I got to the theater about 9:30.

I was the only one there.

I was the only one there until about 10:40.

I guess Iron Man was either playing early at lots of places or not as many people cared about seeing it early as I expected. Either way, we got great seats.

The movie itself was good. Really good. It suffered some because of the expectations problem, i.e. I had really high ones, and it would be hard to live up to them. But, for the most part, it lived up to everything Ihad hoped for it. The action was great, the CGI was good enough that I didn't notice it, and the cast was spot on.

If you like action movies, especially if you like comic book movies, I highly recommend it.
