It's got a director (Dude who did Nick and Norah's Infinite Rainbow Unicorn Rape) and apparently was supposed to start shooting at some point this year, but in October it got put on hold.

Well holy shit, in more important news, after clicking this link I see an article titled "Shane Black Might Write and Direct Iron Man 3" which would be pretty much the best thing ever

It's fan made, though I still have hope that this movie will be good.

Once I finally come to terms with the team line up choices, I will have to admit...this looks pretty damn good.

This is good news given that the trailers have done next to nothing for me. Looks like a generic superhero movie, but now I might actually go peep it if the reviews remain strong.

Ive notice I havent seen much attention paid to the Hellfire Club in any of the trailers/promos, etc.

Are people saying good things about them in those reviews?

Just got back from the first showing. It's a solid flick, but didn't floor me. I was real hyped after the first Iron Man, not so much after this one. It isn't bad, isn't cheesy at all, and watching Magento's story was real interesting, but just didn't wow me. I feel like all the 'oh shit' scenes are similar to what we've seen already.

January Jones' has nice titties, flat ass and terrible actress though.

I thought most of the movie was pretty meh although the last act was great. Definitely wouldn't put it up with the likes of Batman Begins or X2 but it's not a bad movie. McCvoy and especially Fassbender made the movie for me.

Bacon was surprisingly good, I was expecting him to be pretty out of place. The best part is X and Magneto though.

Kevin Bacon did a bang up job although I wasn't crazy about Shaw's characterization (POSSIBLE SPOILER:his motivations were basically Magneto v1.0 END SPOILER) and the rest of the Club was pretty bad. I thought January Jones was terrible as Emma Frost, Azazel had some nice fight scenes but presumably they add him to the lineup to set up Nightcrawler's origin but they didn't touch on that in the slightest, and wtf lets just toss in Riptide? odd choice.

I'm a pretty big X-Men nerd and I don't mind most of the things changed for the sake of the movie but they did the Hellfire Club dirty.

Saw this earlier with my boys.
It was pretty good overall, but Beast's final transformation had us laughing hysterically. All the money they spent on special effects, and they had dude looking like an extra from Cats The Musical?
