Believe the hype about Iron Man.
Especially if you are a fan and stay until the end. I'm not exactly happy about the last scene before the credits, because pairing that with the scene after the credits leads me to believe they already know what arc they want to do with these characters down the line. That's especially cryptic, but if you're a Marvel fan of recent history you'll understand what I mean.
Stark here is much more snarky than I recall him ever being in the comics-- he's almost Peter Parker, the older billionaire version. There are moments where I forgot it was a superhero movie. That's how realistic these characters feel on screen, even if they really don't really flesh out anyone besides Stark. I'm not sure a lot of younger kids are going to enjoy it, because there's very few action sequences. But it's hard to say anything else without being too spoilery, so JUST GO SEE IT.
It's not the perfect comic book movie, but it's pretty darn close. There was only about four things I could find fault with, but they were minor and easily forgivable.
My dad and I decided to cast the rest of the Avengers, but we can't think of a decent Thor or Captain America. I think the best casting methods would be to scour Nordic countries for Thor and find someone who looks like they're from the 1940s for Cap. The Pyms are probably the two casting directors should be least worried about getting right, but hell if I can think of who to play them even decently. My dad is more concerned with getting Thor and Cap's costumes to look practical-- damn those wings!
As for others, I only half-jokingly decided Daniel Dae-Kim should be Sub-Mariner, even if he was in Spider-Man 2 for a second.
Oh, I saw Lost at 5am last night/this morning. lol, talk about shipper wars.
