   I'm glad we convinced you to watch it! Yes, they were definitely going for a   
   BR look for the movie. FWIW I tend to agree with your evaluation of the   
   movie.   
      
   I'm looking forward to the next one; the trailers look pretty good.   
      
   BTW, another movie I'm looking forward to is Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr.   
   seems like a great choice for Tony "Iron Man" Stark, and I just LOVE the   
   trailers I've seen so far.
