without giving too much away, i think i'll just confine myself to saying that it kicks ass (except that gwyneth paltrow should be a strong female character, but basically they just need someone other than gwyneth paltrow for that. but i'm nitpicking. other than that, it was the most incredibly excellent thing ever ever).
along with that, i got to see extended trailers for prince caspian, incredible hulk, kingdom of the crystal skull (the only thing i'm confused about here is, if the skull is crystal, how can it be made out of solid gold? cos that's what it sounded like. perhaps it was poor sentence structure. but even the remotest possibility of zombies? oooh.), and dark knight.
since they've already been planning iron man 2 for a few months now, i can honestly say that i can't wait for it. the really great thing about iron man was that it was accessible to everyone, but they had all these special things for the real fans. like the cameo of stan lee as hugh hefner (hell, he already is the hef of the comic book world anyway). that little tease they had there for war machine was just fantastic (geeks in the audience cheered at this point). and the part when agent phil was all like, "oh, just call it S.H.I.E.L.D." (more cheering from the geeks).
absolutely the best part was sitting, while everyone else cleared the theater except for the geeks with inside information (and when you think about it, that's really all of us--what else do geeks do?), for fifteen agonizing minutes while the credits rolled, to see a truly incredible three minutes of samuel l. jackson. when he introduced himself as nick fury, there was a roar of approval. and much clapping. and then there was the allusion to an avengers movie. be still, my beating heart.
so: AWESOME. see it now. if you've seen it once, go see it again. and bring your mom. and your puppy. and any corpses you might dig up on the way. hey, it's never too late to see iron man.
avengers assemble!
