Iron Man Baby, IRON MAN!

First off, I never wrote a reviews of Iron Man (shame on me, I've been busy, more on that later) but it really is one of the best superhero to come out recently. Downey was the man, Favreau directed the hell of of it, Paltrow was hot and fun again, and Jeff Daniels was a bald badass! That's right, I said it. In summary, it was a great summer movie should be. It hit all the right notes and made you feel good. And want an Avengers movie.

After that, actaully before, it was release, people (EVERYONE including a very happy Marvel Studios) were talking about the eventual and worthy sequel based on its high praise and massive box office reciepts. Problem was, they were lowballing Favs. And thats just not right. Singer had a deal for X2 almost immediately. Rami, the same for Spidey. Favs got Marvel issuing a release date (one that he thought unattainable for quality) and Favs started publicly saying "Robert and I would love to do Iron Man 2, but they haven't signed me yet." Marvel didn't like that he said that to everyone who obviously called them out to get their shit together and get Downey and Favs locked with Fav's wish date.

Well, Marvel got smart people! Thank god. Good move. Cause I was getting a little worried. Go Favs! Go Downey! Start counting down to Iron Man 2!

By the way, Downey is going to be Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. Thoughts on that?
