Old actionman:
"'Iron Man' is gonna be AWESOME!"

New actionman:
"It'll suck, just like everything else that comes out of that stink-hole sewer they call Hollywood. Fuck it and fuck y'all, I'm moving back east and y'all can eat it!"

Great news! I am sure the studio is concerned how high brow critics would take to a movie about a Super Hero! So this is awesome! Thanks!

i've seen iron man at a foreign press screening. it's gonna be a huge hit. but it's good in a blah way. it's fun, but nothing moved me in the slightest and i can barely remember it a few days later. kinda like a drunken one night stand.
