Moreso…

More movie catchup. This time… Some Marvel superhero movies to catch up on (5) before going to see the new one - The Avengers . Might take a few days. Not exactly sure of the order to watch them in… Iron Man I, Iron Man II, Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America

  • Iron Man (I) – the Origin Story – though with a modern twist. (I’m pretty sure the original origin story for Iron Man took place in Vietnam, though it’s been a very long time since I read it. The new one? Afghanistan? Or someplace similar in the Middle East.) Stick around past the end credits for a teaser to a future movie in the series.
    • High points (in this order):
    • Meh…
      • The Villain (of course, we wouldn’t want the villain to be too evil for an origin story… the Hero wouldn’t survive.)
      • The government (First hints at S.H.I.E.L.D. – stay for the extra after the credits for a cameo)
      • Tony/Pepper (Not sure what the point of that was… Sure, in the comic they have a complicated relationship…)
  • Iron Man II – Tony meets his first post-Origin villain (Someone who builds his own Suit.). And finds out the perils of everyone knowing who Iron Man is (I could have sworn it was a secret in the comics) (He never could stay on script… the government should have known better.) (Once again, stick around for a teaser for a future movie (Thor))
