Re: OT - Iron Man
Just saw it this past weekend, and gotta say I loved it. I'm a huge Iron Man fan, and was hoping they wouldn't botch it. They didn't.
Robert Downey Jr was a great actor for the role of Tony Stark. He's been down a lot of the same road as the character. Jeff Bridges did a great job as Obadiah Stane, and really looks intimidating with a bald head and beard. They got the differing version of the Iron Man suits down pat, and the overall bulk and differences of the Ironmonger suit too.
Overall, very nicely done. Kudos to Jon Favreau for a job well done!

Re: OT - Iron Man
I rather enjoyed it myself. Though I actually had more fun while I was waiting to get in, where I had ample opportunity to demonstrate to the multitude of cosplayers why cardboard != iron. Although there was one fella in an aluminium suit who was looking a bit cocky, but he scampered off when I started playing with my butane lighter.
I'm now quite looking forward to Indiana Jones, and the inevitable 400lb cosplayer with a fedora and a whip. I've even got my opening salvo readied: "I'm sorry, are you supposed to be Indiana Jones, or the boulder that chased him? Because the boulder didn't get his hat."
Those cosplayers... A whole evening of entertainment, each and every one of them.

Our last surviving drive in is now a WalMart.  One of these days drive'ins will return. We must keep the faith.
