[...] Iron Man is receiving overwhelmingly rave reviews from critics and is on track for breaking the $100 Million mark on its opening weekend. Tony Stark, the comic book scientist behind the metal outfit is a hero [...]

Trevor, I’m pretty sure we all realize it’s not realistic to expect real-life soldiers to behave like Iron Man. It’s all in good fun.

Anyway, I haven’t actually heard that many people “rave” about it as being the perfect movie (and many admit it’s not as good as, say, Spider-Man - which I find hard to believe), but pretty much everyone recommends it. That might be the only push it needs.

Connor and Jimbo: Wow. You guys are a piece of work. Kidding or not, implying that American servicemembers (real life heroes who put their life on the line so YOU can blog on the internet about whatever you want) aren’t as great as Iron Man (a fictional character created by a comic book company) is just wrong. I mean, can you honestly stand there and feel like you’re in the right.

If you actually believe what you’re saying, then why don’t you sign up and make a difference? Exactly. Just sit there and bitch.

BTW, I loved Iron Man. It was great…

@ Cuffor

And in other, other news - Insurgents kill dozens of their own countrymen, women and children in coordinated suicide bomb attacks.

Iron Man was sweet. I especially loved it when he killed all of those terrorists/insurgents when they were holding the women and children hostage. Do American soldiers do that? No.

I actually would only give Iron man about a 7.5, The action was great, it was VERY funny, but it was just a little TOO unrealistic in some parts, and there wasn’t much character development overall. Again, it WAS a good movie, there SHOULD be a sequel, but unfortunately I’m not “Raving” about it like so many others are. Sam Jackson as Nick Fury was Awsome!

Peter - Hello.
I have nothing to say about this post, I just wanted to let you know that I have talked with some of my friends who also frequent your site, and we all agree that you should put at least one video blog up a week. They are very funny. Thank you in advance Peter, goodbye Peter.

I have to admit though that i am very impressed with John Favreau and the dedication he has done with this. Let’s hope he is attached to the next one, which is probably true.

I really hope this movie enters the 100 + mark, because there is serious potential. So much work went into this film, Marvel Studios, ILM and others. I hope they give a lot of effort for the second one.

Dustin: Aquaman LOL.

The point is that it was only expected to me 40-60M opening weekend depending on who you talk to, and even 60M would have been a huge success for Paramount Marvel. 90-100M means that the sequel will be much bigger in scale for sure.

Sweetness! To bad it won’t come close to Spiderman 3 or Aquaman for that matter.
