If anyone tries to tell you that this isn't the year of the comic book movie then, well, they haven't seen any movies lately. The next couple of months are filled with movies based on comicbook heroes.

First out of the gate is Iron Man, staring Robert Downey Jr. If you don't know who Iron Man is then where have you been. Tony Stark million inventory, businessman gets into a metal suit and fights evil.  In the last few years Iron Man has become a key hero in the Marvel Universe. He was behind the Hero registration act, which led to the death of his long-time friend Captain America. He also now the hed of S.H.I.E.L.D, but that is in the comics, in the movie version the head of  S.H.I.E.L.D is played by everyones favorite actor Samual L. Jackson. I sense there will be another movie starting Jackson as Nick Fury. It will be better then the first attempt staring David Hasselhoff (1998).

Back to Iron Man, I don't want to give up to much of the film but there is guarenteed to be lots of action and explosions and maybe even an apperance by War Machine (maybe another spin-off)

Next up Batman "The Dark Knight"
