Re: IRONMAN reaches 96% on Rotten Tomatoes

Robert Downey will rock this storyline:

What's wrong with actually enjoying a blockbuster?

You all loved Juno, and man, it sucks big time, so what?

Oh, btw, I don't remember ever being that into Transformers, I was more into Robotech, so I can't be biased...

I wouldn't say "Juno" was a blockbuster in the terms of how the average joe views a blockbuster. And the last thread I read here about "Juno", almost everyone trashed it with the exception of myself.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a blockbuster if you mean in the terms of big budget, big CGI and lots of boom for your buck -- I basically enjoy anything as long as I feel it is done well. "Transformers" just came off stupid, too silly and far too fake for me to enjoy, eventhough it was menat to be popcorn entertainment. It just wasn't a very well constructed film, IMO. Nevertheless, it's obvious blockbusters are meant to be fun, but just because they might be fun doesn't instantly make them good.

Would you say Die Hard 4.0 was better than Transformers??

Yes.

Basking in the glow of the $100-plus-million domestic opening for "Iron Man," Marvel announced an upcoming schedule that includes a July 2011 release date for the long-awaited "The Avengers."

With "Iron Man," Marvel's first self-produced feature, already over $200 million worldwide in only five days of release, the company can now turn its attentions to the release of "The Incredible Hulk" later this summer and "Punisher: War Zone" in December.

While 20th Century Fox is producing the Marvel-affiliated "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" for release on May 1, 2009, Marvel Studios will sit out 2009, prepping for what will be an extremely busy following few years.

Marvel Studios said Monday (May 5) that "Iron Man 2" will hit theaters on April 30, 2010, though it's unclear which parts of the original's creative team will return. Then Marvel hopes to release "Thor," from director Matthew Vaughan ("Stardust"), on June 4, 2010.
