War Machine is in my list as a favourite, and he’s a reason for me to hang out for Iron Man 2″ - DS Post, Apil 18

Rhodey was awesome.  There’s a moment in the film where I was making incoherent squeeeing and fanboy flailing, and you’ll so totally have to see the film to know where and when, and OMG YAY! (A possibly spoilerish pic from IMDB helps with a clue)

In other news, as a Marvel lightweight, and mostly DC fanboy, this film seriously left me feeling that it’s pretty much over for DC now.  After Christian Bale hangs up the Batcape, the DC comics cinematic tour is over.  There’s nothing or no one in the stable that’s going to compare to the strength of the Marvel movie making machine.

There’s enough hat-tips and subtle cues in the Iron Man movie for deep level fanboy reference, and a damn fine ride of movie for the rest of the universe.  All up, it’s nice to have a comics movie that made me feel happy about comic books.
