Iron Man II

I rarely get super excited about movies. Don't get me wrong I get excited and I can't wait to see movies. However most of the time I am dissappointed as they usually don't live up to the hype.

I put off Iron Man and didn't see it on the big screen. After a few months of release on DVD/Blu Ray. I broke down and rented it.

Now I am a huge closet comic book guy. Done laughing? Okay, I usually see every comic book themed movie. I am a nerd like that. In sixth grade I spent most of my free time creating super heroes for a role playing game spawned by Marvel. Lets just say I believe Stan Lee to be a genious!

Recently, with the exception of Batman, and Iron Man comic movies have been ho-hum if not down right terrible. Of course X-Men brought the genre back from laughable. Then we had Fantastic Four, and well, suffice to say it's an up and down thing.

Back to my renting and later viewing of Iron man: I loved it! I loved it in the way a little boy opens a gift at Christmas and inside is what he had been dreaming about for 11 months since the last Christmas. Maybe it's Downy Jr. or maybe it's a well crafted yarn of suspense, action, and humor.

Bottom line, dissappointment or not, my arse will be in line to get a seat at Carmike to see Iron Man II. Two words.... Mickey Rourke!
