You mean like the very first post says?
Yeah, someone really should mention it.... ;D

What I meant to say is that it should be mentioned more than once.  ;)

I saw it this weekend too  :cheers: I must say that it's indeed one of the better comic adaptions. Robert Downey must have watched a lot of "House" episodes though. I think they even casted Hugh Laurie first but he had other commitments. The only problem with the movie was that it was too short (at 2 hours). Can't wait for the sequel!

I hope a sequel gets made.  I mean they made one for fantastic four so something that didn't suck should get one too right?  Right?

Heh . . . I don't think you have much to worry about on that front.  It's safe to assume that Robert Downey Jr. is contractually obligated to come back for two sequels.  But this movie wasn't merely good.  It is also going to be a smashing box office success, probably pulling in more than $200 million in domestic box office receipts and pushing toward $1 billion globally.  Trust me . . . everyone involved wants a piece of that.  Even if Downey wasn't already obligated to return, there's something about $20-30 million dollars dangling in front of your face that will make you do pretty much anything.   :)

Looks like Iron Man broke $100 million on opening weekend (and over $200 million worldwide since Wed), making it the second highest opening weekend of non-sequels (second only to Spiderman).  It has surpassed industry expectations which were in the $70-90M range, and has the possibility of reaching $250M domestic since great reviews and word of mouth should keep the theaters pretty full for a while.

I think its safe to say a sequel or two is going to be made  ;D

Oh, and I also thought it was a great movie.

well thats not accurate.  That guy is black in the ultimate comics.  sorry  if I gave anything away.

Also, Stan Lee's cameo was actually pretty funny. I cant wait for the sequel, it'll prolly have buttloads more CGI, cause you know they are bringing out the War Machine!

I liked this movie more then spiderman/xmen which is saying alot because I really like the first 2 of both of those "trilogies"

That might explain why they chose to go that route then.  I've only ever seen the Spiderman animated series version (I'm assuming my friend has too) so thats what we were basing him on.

The problem is despite making 100 million already the corporate people might still consider it unsuccessful and not go forward with a sequel.  Yes they would be stupid but since when has anyone in the upper echelons of business ever done anything right.

Now that you mention it I felt that way too.  It might be because of all the stupid trailers the theater I went to showed on top of the normal trailers (kinda like their own stupid television station).
