I just got back from watching the Iron Man movie. I must say I was rather indifferent to see it given the less than shining examples of superhero cinema I've seen (whiny Spiderman, boring Hulk). In a delightful twist they managed to give me hope for this flick.
They bribed me, they bribed me good.
The opening scene's song was Back in Black by AC/DC.
That's all I needed.
The entire movie is filled with rocking out. We're talking rocking out classics. There was no iota of musical haunting from the weepy "oh pity me and the world" Spiderman days that I was worried would be in this film. Nosiree. It's a manly movie about manly men doing manly things. Why, it's sheer manliness will go down in the annals of Man History as the introduction.
Music aside, the story is great. Great pacing, good humor, and the best Stan Lee cameo I've seen so far (sunglasses, mustache, and cigar can't miss him). Even better, the fun scene at the end of the credits. No spoilers, you'll have to see it for yourself.
If you're anything like me you'll like this movie. Then again if there's more people like me then we're all in trouble.
