Ironman = awesome

I don’t normally get hyped up for superhero movies, having had my enthusiasm for such fair tempered by Joel Schumaker’s schlocky and cartoonish treatment of Batman, but the trailer for Ironman is amazing. The effects are insanely good and the cast is outstanding. Most heartening however, is Robert Downey Jr. playing Tony Stark. Downey Jr., who by most accounts has gotten his shit together, looks every bit the part of billionaire playboy industrialist. I have a feeling that this movie is going to be a ball.
