Hubby and I had a date day today. We went out to eat and then to see the new movie, Iron Man (click here to watch trailer). I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of superhero movies, so I’ve been looking forward to this one since I saw the first trailer. And the movie did not disappoint.

It had action, funny lines, intrigue, kickin’ music (I still have “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath playing in my head), and Robert Downer Jr. was great in the role. He put the necessary snark in Tony Stark.

If you plan to see the movie, a tip — stay until the end of the credits. There’s an extra scene that gives a definite hint that we’ve not see the last of Iron Man.

So, I’m curious — any other superhero movie fans out there? If so, what is your favorite? Superman? Spiderman? Fantastic Four? X-Men? Batman? Iron Man?

Hard to believe, but another summer movie season is just around the corner. Yahoo! Movies printed their list today of the Top 10 Most Anticipated Summer Movies. Four of them (Prince Caspian, The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Iron Man) were already on my list, but after perusing the Yahoo list, they all sound good, though I probably won’t see Sex in the City since I never watched the show. I didn’t realize the new Incredible Hulk was coming out this summer. I’m a fan of superhero movies and Edward Norton, so this new version sounds interesting. You can see the full list, with links to trailers, here.

What movies are you anticipating this summer? What about the rest of the year? I’m eagerly anticipating Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in November.
