Top 10 Reasons I Want to Date Ironman
I finally got out and saw Ironman on Friday night.
I have to say, it was pretty badass. However, not being a geek of the comic book flavor, I wouldn’t know if it was rife with inaccuracies that would make other geeks poke their eyes out.
I was very appreciative of the fact that the sexual tension between Stark and Pepper never got resolved in a cheesy “yay, we just saved the world” kiss.
That, my friends, would have been lame.
Either way, instead of writing a review, which I am highly unqualified to do, I figured I’d give you this….
Enjoy!
TOP TEN REASONS I WANT TO DATE IRONMAN
10. Red suit. I’ve always been a sucker for redheads.
9. Repulsor rays keep neighbor’s dog from pooping in my yard.
8. I’d never have to worry about my safety if I was a hostage and a crazy person had a gun to my head.
7. Can lose myself in his glowy eyes.
6. Chinese takeout for dinner. From China.
5. With strength like his, he could make any girl feel like she’s light as a feather!
4. Rearranging heavy furniture is a breeze!
3. The phrase “fly me to the moon” has meaning!
2. Two words: Toasted marshmallows.
1. Repulsor ray + annoying brats at the mall in Heelys = fun for the whole family!

I can only agree with you on the film, it might be spiked with inaccuracies, but as a no-comic-book-geek the film was a very nice refreshing action spectacle - pretty good boredom killer.
At the moment I’m looking forward to Harrison Ford’s latest work - coming in four days if I got it right. We’ll have a special opportunity here to enjoy this one in a drive-in cinema for motorbikes only the night of the premiere…
Thanks for the smile on your ten reasons, made my headstart into the day a good one.
One of the things I HATE HATE HATE about action movies is when there is so MUCH action on the screen that you can’t tell what’s happening. I know that directors do that on purpose, but still, it’s obnoxious and I hate it.
Even in the craziest parts of Ironman, I could still see what was going on. This is a good thing.
Oh, and Paltrow as a red-head? Adorable.
if it’s any help: the comic-book geek I know loved it as both a movie-goer and a comic-book geek
Same with all the comic geeks I’ve heard from.
It was, I believe, the first movie that Marvel made internally (as opposed to handing it over to another studio, who ends up making changes for “marketability” or something), so they were able to stay very true to the comics, while still making it as entertaining as the comics.
I mean, these comics have a huge fanbase for a reason!
But really, I think the best review came from my fiancee, who said that seeing the movie made her want to buy and read the comics.
As a huge comic book nerd, I have to say that the movie was excellent and stayed very true to the spirit of the books.
I suspect that the next villain will be the Mandarin, based on the fact that the terrorist organization was called the Ten Rings, and the Mandarin has ten magical rings. I believe the leader of the terrorist group is the Mandarin, as he mentioned Gengis Khan, and in the comics the character is obsessed with Khan.
