As I was hunting for news today I ventured over to Rotten Tomatoes to take a gander at Iron Man’s current score. The film presently sits at 89% with favorable reviews from Cinematical, Cinema blend, Richard Roeper, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Empire. I am pleased with this score, and look forward to seeing the film myself as soon as possible.
Much positive praise is coming down the pipe regarding Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as Tony Stark. Roeper proclaims that “Robert Downey Jr. is this movie.” I am thrilled, although not surprised that Downey Jr. has rocked this role. I have high hopes for this comic book movie and am hoping that this film will start a trend of blockbuster excellence that makes up for the dismal wipeout of last last year.
International friends, after you have had a chance to see the film – please take some time to share your thoughts with us. This is the sort of film that we love to chat about round these parts, and I look forward to breaking the film down and participating in water cooler chat with each and every one of you.
I am glad that the news is good; now I wait till Thursday.
