I'm waiting a couple of days at least because a Werner Herzog festival is starting here in Portland continuing throughout the month each weekend. I'd rather see some Werner Herzog films projected on the big screen than the new Hollywood product for the week. The new Hollywood product will always be around on Monday, but Fritzcarraldo and many others are only showing for one night.

Heh! Fitzcarraldo is one of my favourite films of all time! Klaus Kinski FTW!

saw it last night - it was fantastic

lots of stupidly stupid superhero things - but Downey does make the character personable and likeable

it was a decent film with very good effects, and some memorable moments

if you like this sort of movie you will love it - its better than the FF movies or the last spider man and x men efforts, and a sequel is coming

go see it if you wanna have a fun night out

saw it. Downey DOES make the character his own and I commend him on that, but overall I thought the movie was really dull. It looked great, and was quite well acted but stupid superhero (is he really a SUPER hero?) stuff aside, it was just plodding along and I didn't really care about any of the well acted characters.

I did enjoy the comedy of the film though. Its a shame because I felt that the first 15min set up a great movie but I thought it was lacking.

Saw it and loved it. RDJ2's best moments were caught on the trailer, for the most part, but the movie still works even though the villain(s) aren't exactly buyable. Fuck 'em, though, this movie is about Iron Man and he was the shit.

The end credits are worth waiting to pass.

That was a fun film. No more no less and Downey's performance coupled with the smart, fast quips he spits out kept me from getting bored.
