Speaking of drunk superheroes Mad TV did a parody of Superman several years ago when Nicholas Cage was interested in the role. It was called "Leaving Metropolis" and is to this day one of the funniest spoofs I have ever seen. Here's a sample of what I remember: a very inebriated Supes making a call from a payphone. "Bruce, I'm sorry man but I think I fucked up and told everyone about the Batcave".

Saw it last night, and it was everything I'd hoped for!
If I could afford to, I'd see this at least another 4 times in the theater!
Gonna grab the DVD on first day of release, and will be making heavy use of frame-by-frame!

Saw the movie.
Liked it a lot!
THAT's how to make a comic book action hero come alive on the big screen!

Yeah, just seen it, great fun. Never was into Marvel stuff, but the use of a certain riff in the trailers pulled me in...
Is it my imagination, or is Robert Downey Jr turning into Al Pacino?

Well I hit VERY lucky today.
A mate rang and said that if I went along to my local cinema I'd get to see this movie early here in the UK.
Somewhat dubious I met with him and sure enough we went to see an advance screening. Yeah for me!
Well I can say that I never followed Iron Man as a comic, all I knew is what I've picked up from trailers and magazine articles.
And it rocked!
Robert Downey Jr was excellent in the role. It had enough humour to give you a laugh, but didn't plunge into pure comic book style hokum.
By the same token it wasn't too dark either and didn't stray too far from reality (for a comic adaption).
The effects were fantastic as well.
If I had to be picky then the plot was very predictable, but this is any minor gripe and there have been a lot of worse comic plots.
Really enjoyed this movie and will definitely be buying the DVD.

Oh, and did anyone else catch Tony Stark's " River " moment ?
Select to view spoiler:
When he's completed the suit, and the bad guys have shot at him, and he says " Now it's my turn " . First thing I thought of was River going after the Reavers
