> I went to the 8 o'clock advanced showing tonight. I don't know how well advertised it was that the movie started playing Thursday night, but the theater wasn't a sell out. It was nearly full, however, and everyone seemed to have a good time.

We got there an hour early, and instead of a line we were the first ones there. Not a lot of people seemed to realize there were screenings tonight.
> Everyone in it did a great job acting, and the character was really faithful to the days before he became an ass. It might be a little tame for some tastes, as there are only a handful of combat scenes, but I didn't mind personally... it had good pacing throughout.

While I could have used one more combat scene, they did such a good job with the character of Tony Stark I didn't mind that it wasn't start-to-finish action.
> I know Marvel is looking to establish the Marvel Universe with their self-financed movies, but after seeing Iron Man, I think it's perfectly situated to remain in it's own little world. This could easily be a James Bond-ish franchise, with Stark thwarting more real-world based would-be dictators and terrorists and such, instead of digging up appropriate comic-book villains for him to fight each outing. Either way, though, they've got me on board for a sequel. I think "The Dark Knight" will have to work to top this as the comic book movie of the summer.

I saw a trailer for Dark Knight tonight and it really didn't get me excited for the movie, though I definitely want to see it. I'd love for Iron Man to outperform The Dark Knight.
> Oh, and the new Hulk trailer with this one actually looked much better than that first trailer.

I didn't get the Hulk trailer. I was quite shocked at that actually.
