Iron Man
Ozymandias:
Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) is doing it and has been working towards making the best Ant-Man movie he can make.
That sells it enough for me.
Also, I don't buy the McConaughey rumor, if the casting of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are any indication for the future of this little run up to the Avengers movie.
Blue Kitty:
cough
Jackie Blue:
Iron Man slayed. Probably the best comic book movie I've seen.
I disagree about the "What's that? Is it going to unlock the door?" line. I thought it was funny. "You might want to step back."
The secret scene after-credits was more LOL than "awesome" for me, just because of who it involved.

I definitely agree with you here Jackie. I truly made a bit of a fool of myself in the theater when I was the only one of my friends who didn't say something along the lines of "KICKASS", when instead I started to bubble with obscene laughter. Not that I'm not excited for Iron Man 2. The after-credits bit was still awesome. Iron Man was still awesome. I feel like the best place to say this is on the internet but, Iron Man was the best superhero movie I have ever seen. Sure! The product placement was a bit ridiculous (Every car was an Audi) but who cares? It didn't hinder my experience, it enhanced it. It was well-fucking-done product placement that further helped me to place the movie in our own universe, which is something I applaud. Also, Obi was an excellent villain. Why? He wasn't meant to be a supervillain. He really was supposed to be a greasy company executive who was trying to be a villain. It worked. He wasn't much of a bad guy as far as something like The Joker goes because the world he lived in was something else. Not entirely, but it worked to make him that much more convincing. Especially because of the excellent job Mr. Bridges did.
Another thing! OMG excellent performance on Robert Downey's part. Did they rush things? I felt like the movie was really taking its time. The amount of character development and back-story created for the main characters was really something. I never got the feeling that the movie was telling me "HERE IS YOUR DAMN EXPOSITION" and "HERE IS SOME MORE FUCKING EXPOSITION". I got to know the characters in a sincere way through actions that moved the plot forward. Every piece was part of the whole, unlike in, say Batman Begins (No tomatoes plx.).
To avoid any tl;dr's, I'm done for now.
no one special:
The only product placement that bugged me was the Burger King one. It just felt overtly obvious to me. Tiny quibble.
