I can sort of see what you're saying except I don't care because it was AWESOME AND BADASS.
Oh yes.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I really enjoyed it right up to the point where Jeff Bridges revealed his extra sinster designed-by-Rob-Liefeld power armor and decided everything would turn out hunky-dory if he could just kill the federal agents sent to arrest him and murder his business partner while rampaging through a busy thoroughfare. But the post-credits bit made up for that.
A certain someone's presence in the Indy 4 trailer ensured that I will buy a ticket no matter what I hear about the movie.

And the scene at the end of the credits was unbelievably flailtastic.
There was a small joygasm from the nerdy assemblage at my showing. (I... um... had to come home and look things up on the internet, because I didn't get it.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Me and small contingent of others cheered mightily at the scene!
I was also thrilled to finally hear Black Sabbath's music at the end! I also lovedTony's relationship with his robots. It reminded me of Dr. Venture and Helper.

Huh, two of the writers credited on the Iron Man screenplay were also credited on Children of Men.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Oh, I loved Children of Men.
Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow were both awesometastic in this. I felt a bit like Paltrow's character had nothing to do but run around and scream at times, but hey.
I think I need to see it again. I had just been to the pub before I saw it.
What happened after the credits? I didn't stay. Also, I need to see this at a decent cinema. The one I went to had a crappy copy and didn't have surround sound enabled.

Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson, who is the model for Ultimate Nick Fury) pays Stark a visit to tell him about the "Avenger Initiative."

The evil is this way?
I saw "Iron Man" -- I thought it was good but not great. The acting was fine, the humor was good, but the movie felt forced and lacked a sense of awe/wonder. Also, why did Jeff Bridges' character Obidiah want to kill Tony in the first place? I get that once Tony came back Obidiah wanted him dead -- he didn't like Tony getting Stark Industries out of the arms business -- but why before?

Seriously? I thought it was all about the awe and wonder.
As for why Obadiah wanted Tony dead initially, I thought it was clear he didn't like the direction he was taking the company and had always resented him for coming back and claiming his position as heir to the enterprise.
