Also, BBB, I have to heartily agree that the best "origin" movie ever is Unbreakable. If you understood that it was just that...an origin movie and no more...it is a really great flick.

I also really enjoyed Unbreakable. I saw the film with my brother who knew more about the Iron Man storyline so the scene post-credits had more meaning for him than for me. I was just surprised by the voice (immediately recognizable) and that nothing had leaked out before hand. I saw an interview w/ Robert Downey Jr. (on "Dailies") where he said they were set up for "a couple more" movies. Agreed – Origin movies are the best. I also really enjoyed Unbreakable.

The film was worth seeing if just for those 3-5 seconds. =) Also, I found Stan Lee’s patented cameo appearance wildly amusing. The film was worth seeing if just for those 3-5 seconds. =)

In my opinion, it beat out the Spider-Man franchise for pure enjoyability factor. Mr. Phae and I agree that Marvel painted Spider-Man as TOO much the tragic hero, not incorporating enough of his sass and panache that has brought him his popularity (Rogue in X-Men, anyone?). I think my favorite part of the film were the interactions between Stark and Potts. In many superhero movies, the "romantic" scenes are annoying and you just want them to get through them and get back to something interesting. But they really did an amazing job with the two very disparate characters. Knowing what little I do about Potts and Stark, I really hope they continue to build a relationship in the second and third film.

One of the friends I saw it with actually turned around and yelled "SHUT THE F#%* UP!" right when people started cheering... and then we got to hear the rest of the dialogue... and then it was even more awesome. I would love it if that were the premise of the next movie. I was giddy with anticipation of that last scene… and it did not disappoint in the least.
