Before I get stuck back into renovating the bedroom, I just thought I’d let you know about a news story broken by online agency The Onion, detailing fan concerns that the feature film adaptation of the Iron Man trailer might ruin the much-beloved ninety-second action-fest with almost an hour and a half of extended scenes and additional dialogue. I’ll be going to see the adaptation this evening, so I’ll make my on call then, but I’m heartened by blogger Mr. Teuflel’s comment that the film does indeed do the trailer justice.
Another hot story also broken by The Onion is veteran NASCAR coach Dan Amon’s revelation of the strategy for success used by every race winner: Drive fast.
Went and saw it with some of my gaming group last night. It was good, a well done new version of the origin story. Quite believable in the designs, and overall very sharp and well done. I was not, however, blown away. And the fight between Iron Man and Iron Monger was rather brief, but I guess that’s because there is only so much they can do. A good movie and would recommend it to any Marvel fan to see in the theatre. I just was not dazzled by it. YMMV
