Iron Man review (no spoilers)
So Raven took me out today to see Iron Man.
Not being a fan of the original comics/animation or even having so much of an understanding other than a guy in a mini mech suit flys around and beating baddies, I still greatly enjoyed this movie. A tech nerds wet dream.
The movie started off and I was about to start nit picking about the 'realism' in the movie when a man can create super advanced technology while in a fucking cave in the middle of Afghanistan with spare parts. But then I remembered that this was a Marvel movie. It's not all about making exact sense, it's about cool super heroes and saving the innocent from the evil baddies and cool special effects while your doing it all. And it did a good job at all of that. So the only criticism I can really give Iron Man is that it was too short because I was enjoying it so much. One thing that I did somewhat appreciate in this movie is that they didn't include much of a love interest for our hero, so he didn't have to go out of his way and make that 'save a buss full of innocence or save your girlfriend' type bullshit I hate. I don't know how fanboys of the original Iron Man will take this movie, but as just a random consumer whore I give it two thumbs up!
Oh yeah, and your an idiot if you don't keep watching till after the end credits.

Pepper goes on to marry 'Happy' Hogan (before you laugh, he's nicknamed that because he never smiles) who is Tony's bodyguard and at one point Iron Man, yet as I understand it, is not included in the movie.
