I'll be pimping this movie till next year. No I don't own stock in Marvel (I wish) and I'm not a huge fan of the character but I am fan of well-made movies and well-told stories. Jon Favreau's a big fan of the comic books and it's obvious he's taken great care in doing this movie. Check out the trailer and I dare you not to pump your fist in the air once *THAT* riff from that rock song heralds the reveal of Iron Man.

This is also Marvel's first production as a movie studio. In all their wisdom, they didn't any want any more interference from studio executives who didn't have a clue what the characters are about so they went ahead and set-up their own shop. I say more power to them.

Robert Downey Jr wears the suit (ahem) of Tony Stark well. Can't wait for Terrence Howard to become War Machine. And Jeff Bridges as the baddie Obadiah Stane? Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury? Great casting all over. I'm having geek-asms.
