Iron Man
This is not a review. My impressions of a movie right after seeing it in the theaters is quite unreliable - I have to forcibly restrain myself just to keep the superlatives out.
Loved it. Terrific superhero movie - up there with the best I've seen (that doesn't count, does it?). Characterization and acting were spot-on. Cinematography - I dare not even attempt to describe it. Special effects? Well, those are always hard. They didn't accomplish the impossible, but they did help push the limits a little closer to it.
In plot - it made sense when I watched it. Not the least because the writing was superb. Whoever did the dialogue did magnificently - genuinely clever, and touching, and well, well done.
It was convincing. It was exciting. It was inspiring - a classic uplifting heroic story, in spite of being indubitably set in the ever-popular day after tomorrow. The good guys are good, and the good guys win.
Today was a great day.
(P.S. Got Patty Griffin's 1000 Kisses at Borders after!)
