Sunday Matinee: "Iron Man"

[timepiececlock]

Go.

Now.

It's freaking unbelievably great. It's everything a summer movie with superheroes should be, and it does it so well I almost forget that I'm watching a comic book superhero movie at all. Best one since Batman Begins, and on par with BB in terms of pure entertainment and class.

I've never read Iron Man comics, or watched cartoons for it, or even knew the name of the protagonist, but now I can say I am, most definitely, a fangirl.

Robert Downey Jr.-- Tony Stark-- you made. my. weekend.

I love the excited feeling the SHEER LOVE my flist has over this flick has given me; I haven't felt this delightedly expectant about seeing a big movie since forever.

It's a lot like how pleased I was after seeing Casino Royale, though this was not nearly so dramatic a film. I am just... very, very happy to see a GOOD movie.
