He's a-comin'

Bout bleedin' time. And looks GOOD.

I know, I've been following this one. Looks good, and it's the first one Marvel have funded all on their own isn't it?

Not sure, not sure at all. I thought Lionsgate were in on it as well? But if not, hey ho. Donwney Jr. looks and sounds the part, I'm no Paltrow fan but I think she might be able to handle acting as a secretary. Maybe.

I just tire of all the critics bemoaning these films. They're not meant to be award winners. They're meant to be fun - and that's all I'm looking for. Some escapism!

Plus a bit of Black Sabbath in a comic book film never hurts!

Exactly, they're not award stuff necessarily, just fun. Though I did like how Spider-Man picked up a 'best kiss' award from MTV.

The flight scene at the end is impressive

The Black Sabbath helps too - in all it makes up entirely for Paltrow

I love the little Mach barrier wave of water droplets at the end - very cool!

Yesh, couldn't they get a nobody to play 'Pepper' Potts? At least then they could have had someone with a modicom of acting ability. Oh well. Can't have it all I suppose.

Looking forward to its release here in Indonesia. Most likely I'll be able to get the DVD before the pic opens, though.
