Iron Man Released 301
Slashdot reader stoolpigeon wrote about the start of summer blockbuster season, and the latest comic book to make it to the big screen. He says "Iron Man is an entertaining movie, as they go. I never was really into comic books — so I have no knowledge or concerns as it relates to following the original story line. I can't address that. The film has good action and some very humorous moments. The serious side of the film is not its strong suit. It's not horrible, but it really doesn't make too much sense. It was interesting to see how they tried to set up an anti-war message without being critical of the US military. It's really a comic book put to film. Not high art or anything, but a whole lot of fun. The film keeps up a fast pace throughout and never bogs down. Some of the product placements were so blatant that they kind of jarred me out of being into the film. The special effects were phenomenal. It was awesome in that regard. Like any movie, it is not everyone's cup of tea If you do go see it in the theater, and you are a big comic books fan, do not leave until after all the credits have run. And I mean all of them." I gotta get a sitter. Man I'm old.

(Thanks for the review. This looks like one that might be worth a trip to the cineplex.)

Personally, I'm holding out on rumors about a series of prequels concerning the youth and training of Captain B. Dick, and the early years of his command of the S.S. Ring Musculatorus. In addition, while not as action-packed, the post-Ambassadorial Earth storyline had excellent character development in the novel, and could certainly lend itself well to a live-action or even animated miniseries.
