It showed some balls and good sense to cast someone who's not really a star anymore, but who's just flat out a great actor. Robert Downey Jr has always been a wonderful actor. I'm not surprised at all that everyone is telling me Iron Man is a quality film, considering the cast (Jeff Bridges is great too).
PS (Rant time): I thought Superman I, II and III were three of the worst movies ever fucking made. Especially Spiderman II. That was the only movie I've ever been to where I boo'd at the threatre and walked out in pure disgust before it ended. Never been more bored in my life. I still have nightmares that Spiderman's boring ass Grandma is going to come out of nowhere and bust out her signature 20 minute long cliched, coma-inducing speeches. Fuck Spiderman.

OK Nick are you pissed at the Superman or Spider-Man movies?
As someone who has loved Spider-Man for all of my life I thought the Spider-Man movies were pretty good. Sure 3 was too busy and silly but it didn't suck. The whole point of Aunt May's speeches is that Aunt May and Uncle Ben are Peter Parker's moral compass. Yeah they are sappy but they make sense within the context of the character. No Spider-Man isn't some hyper-macho hero but that's a big part of his appeal is that he is just a guy who has this ability to make a difference.
Back on topic, please Hod let the Avengers movie rock and rock hard.
