I have seen Iron Man for the second time yesterday. Waited until after the credits like I said I will. My friends and I have to wait for several minutes for the credits to stop rolling, but it was alright.
The scene was just a hint on the upcoming sequel and the other Marvel Studios movie that will be released after the Iron Man sequel.

“Iron Man” was pure gold at the box office. The Marvel Comics adaptation, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the guy in the metal suit, hauled in $100.7 million during its opening weekend and $104.2 million since debuting Thursday night, the second-best premiere ever for a nonsequel, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The film also scored overseas with $96.7 million in 57 countries where it began opening Wednesday, putting its worldwide total at $201 million.
It’s no wonder the movie struck gold because it is just that fabulous (read my previous post). Iron Man is also Marvel Studios first foray into financing their own films. The movie is so successful since it’s opening that Marvel is already planning a sequel set for a April 30, 2010 release. Talk about fast.
I’m so happy that there will be a sequel coming. The movie was just that good. I can’t wait to see Robert Downey Jr don that metal suit again. Wonder how they will spin the story? Just have to wait and see.

I just watched the movie IronMan…one word: WoW!
I have been waiting for this movie since February. And I was completely blown away. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. It is as amazing as the trailers made it out to be. 
There was a lot of explosives, aerial dogfights, flying mishaps and more! You got to check it out. I have learned to be rather picky with the superhero movies I watch since there are those that are not worth bothering with (i.e. Superman with Brandon Routh, Incredible Hulk and others) while there are those that I absolutely loved with Iron Man being one on the top of my list.
A great reason why the movie is so entertaining for me is because Robert Downey Jr is cast as the playboy/billionaire and gadget whiz Tony Stark. He brought a great dose of personality to the role. Downey effectively portrayed the different facets of the character - morose, troubled, defiance - plus he was funny when he needed to be. I absolutely enjoyed the press conference at the end of the film. Must see. :)) I know that the movie wouldn’t be as engaging if the lead role was given to another actor.
Also, Most of the supporting cast was great. I actually like Terrence Howard character which acts as Stark’s antithesis, meanwhile Jeff Bridges was almost unrecognizable on this film by sporting a bald head and beard to portray the co-owner of Stark Industries. But I found Gwyneth Paltrow pretty but a little annoying as Stark’s assistant. Overall, the movie is worth the money and time spent.
If you want to see the trailer, you can check out an Iron Man preview on the Videos to Share widget on the right column of the screen. Just browse through the widget until you find it. 
But preferably, visit your nearest movie theatres and see the movie for yourself! ^^ When you watch the movie, wait until after the credits - there is supposedly something there. I will watch the movie again (just because I want to) and make a mental note to NOT leave until after the credits.

I have been excited with the Iron Man movie eversince I saw the trailer a few weeks ago in one of the Superbowl Ads. This is the link to my previous post. This movie is scheduled to be released on May 2nd. (Yey! 2 months to go!)
In anticipation for the film, I want to share the new Iron Man trailer I found in MovieWeb (you can click on the link to see more trailers for this movie). Robert Downey Jr. is rocking those new hard-earned muscles. While Gwyneth Paltrow is sporting a strawberry blonde ‘do for her role in the film. I love the special effects.
You can check the new trailer in my vodpod or just check the right column of this page.
