So is everyone excited for Iron Man?

[Aniri]

I know I am! I think Robert Downey Jr. was a great pick for the lead

YOu now, I kind of am. After X-men 3 and Spidey 3 I vowed to be off the super hero movie for years and years, but Robert Downey Jr is a guilty pleasure of mine to watch, and the previews look so darned good. I'm going to see as soon as its available.

I'm about as excited as a Halloween pumpkin at the prospect of yet another big production super hero story.

But one lives in hope.

Awww...why such bummers here about super hero movies? I love the X-Men movies! What about Hellboy? That was good too!

[Perpetual Man]

Speaking as a long time Super fan, I have to admit that Iron Man is not one of my favourite characters - but even I find the excitement levels rising. Good casting and a great trailer!

I've thought that the last few superhero movies have not been quite as good as they could have been, but this looks the reakl deal again!

Yay! Perpetual Man to the rescue!

Hellboy? Yep agree, good fun...

Daredevil, X Men 3, Hulk, Electra, Fantastic Four, Spiderman 3, ghost rider, Superman, all vary (imo) from dreary tosh and childish drivel to overreaching, sixth form angst driven torpor fests.

But that's just me exaggerating for effect.

I hear you, Andrew. I did not care for Daredevil, Hulk, or Electra.

Out of curiousity, which super hero would you all like to see brought to the big screen?

[andrew.v.spencer]

As a kid I always liked Dr Strange, less thumping and blowing up, more thinking. I was always a fan of the Fantastic Four... the films murdered them.*sobs*

[Aniri]

Mmmm...me too. I love Ben Grim--I collect anyTHING related to him

[Quokka]

I'm definitely curious about Iron Man, the trailers look great and Robert Downey Jr seems like a perfect choice for the lead role. I thought the first Fantastic Four wasn't all bad but the second one just died. It's funny they've all said with the sequels that "now the origins story is out the way we can..." and then go on to say how much better they'll be but in most cases they've gone downhill pretty quickly. Looks to be another big year for superheroes with Hellboy2 and The Dark Knight on the way.

I have to admit Iron man was never a favorite of mine and I havn't heard alot about this movie until last night on tv there was an interview with Robert Downey Jnr and a few clips from the movie.
I have been a little disappointed with some of the recent SuperHero movies, there just seems to be a few to many. I may wait until a few reviews from fellow chrons come in!

There is an animated movie of Doctor Strange. It's fairly average (but being average puts it above many other superhero flicks).

I live in hope for Iron Man but reserve judgement until seen.
