See I thought I heard Black Sabbath in the trailer, but my friend was like, no it’s the theme from the old Iron Man cartoon. I’m not sure I believe him since I saw the traier only once, and didn’t even know there was an Iron Man cartoon.

I think that was the only scene. I saw the clip on Youtube, though I’m not sure it’ll be up still. It’s not long, and has a famous actor playing a famous Marvel character, and mentioning a famous Marvel group.

Is that vague enough to be non-spoilery?

just saw it last night - sweeeeeeet!

I also was familiar with Iron Man, but never knew the story too well. I probably read a comic or two with him in it about 20 years ago, but that barely counts. Anyhow, both I and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it - I even enjoyed Paltrow, who is not one of my favorite actors.

And lastly, the post-credits stuff. I remembered just before we left the theater (after reading about it here) and made my wife sit down to see it. But either it was really short (I think - maybe 10-15 seconds) or we still got fooled and left too early. So could some kind reader let me know if I still missed out, or was the one scene I saw the only scene?

Thanks!

Oh, silly me. I’ll just wait to see a new movie in the coming weeks, then accidentally go into the Iron Man theater to catch the last few minutes.

The Teen thought the music was fine. Both kids saw the post-credits stuff; DH and I, being older, had to use the restrooms and left. I understand the post-credits stuff was pretty fun. Guess I’ll see it when it comes out on DVD.

G. Grod says he hated the music overall, as did Wil Wheaton on his blog.

Imdb’s trivia has a lot of details on the creation of the music.

And Monty on Movies mentions that there was stuff after the credits. D’oh. I guess I’ll have to see it again. Quel dommage.

We’re going to see it today. Thanks for the warning about the song–The Teen has been hyped about that for days. I’ll set his expectations appropriately.
