Iron Man

Point I Fell Asleep: 1:15 out of 2:26 (60%)
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/

Because I feel that Hollywood is ripping us off by charging us $10 a movie, I did my civic duty and snuck into a 2nd movie. Makes me feel better when I only waste $5 on a snoozer of a movie. I hadn't watched a double feature in quite a while; luckily I remembered to bring a snack during "intermission" if you call it that. What were the chances of me staying awake for 4 hours of movie watching? I thought it was pretty good up until the 1 hour mark. Next thing I know, I straight passed out. There goes my 5 stay-awake movie streak. Back to square 1.

Okay, about the movie. Let me first say that I'm not a big fan of Marvel movies. I distinctly remember falling asleep during X-Men. I fell asleep through all 3 Spiderman movies. The only reason I stayed awake during Fantastic Four was Jessica Alba. Don't even get me started on "Daredevil," "Elektra," and "Catwoman." So I really didn't have high hopes for this movie, but its box office receipts were pretty high, so I did expect a little more out of this movie. And honestly, I don't even know what to write. Seeing Gwyneth in the movie surprised me; I thought she was still on maternity leave. I liked Tony Stark's baller life-style and the Audi R8 he drove as well as the other blatant Audi's in the movie. Other than that, just another ho-hum movie for me. But I guess if you liked the other Marvel movies, then you'll like this one too.
