How long till this is on Blue Ray? I don't do cinema's.
Blimey, it only came out a few days ago and it isn't even on general release in the USA yet! It's not going to be for a while.

Fair one, I was just wondering if is usually 3-4 months.

Note I have just googled Ironman 2 and it was about 6 months for that film.

I watched the film in 3d and it was OK but not the best 3d I have seen tbh. I know not many have love for Avatar on PH but that is still the best 3d I have experienced so far. I felt as if I was actually there with them but that film was designed from the ground up with 3d in mind, 3d camera's were used to record the movie and it shows through in the quality of the 3d.

Most of the other films which have been released in 3d since aren't done this way, they are 3d'ified in post production with varying results depending on how much time\money has been spent on this process.

To be honest though the film is so good that even in 2d it will look spectacular.

I have seen 3D twice. From previous movies that I've seen both 2D and 3D, the 3D always had more depth to the picture. Also, some scenes like the Leviathan type aliens coming over head had real depth to it for sure. I will try and get to see it in 2D to compare, but can't imagine it coming through as well as that.

This is but one example.
More depth to the picture? Like adding a third dimension to the experience?!

Yes. From what I'm reading, most folk are expecting things to pop out at them all the time, rather than what I've suggested.

They weren't showing at my nearest IMAX (feck knows why!) so I had to drive 1.5hours.. totally worth it smile
I really enjoyed the movie but for me it's probably not good enough to justify a flight ticket to Sweden or Russia biggrin

Just checked. Apparently not. They're showing Wrath of the Titans. frown

In the first Iron man film Pepper and Phil build a relationship and im guessing that during the everyday running of the company Pepper has business dealings with Phil on a weekly basis, also did anyone else think that Banner and Stark got on really well from the off, was their some pre existing relationship between them? Banner goes with Stark at the end of the film. Also did anyone else think that Kevin was a bit irritating?
i think its just the fact they both respect the genius of each other.

Indeed. For all his arrogance and flippancy, Tony Stark *is* a genius.

Saw this with the kids yesterday. Fantastic film.

Did laugh when half the cinema ran out as soon as the credits rolled, only to run back in again when that little extra bit came on.

Why do people leave when the lights are still off?

Lights went on before the extra bit in the credits at the Cinema I saw it at.

I waited until the very end to see if there was another sequence. There isn't.

I did too... nope, nothing. I did read, possibly on here, that something may appear in later showings (after may 4th) but I doubt it. Still the one scene they did show was exciting enough!

I'll put this behind a spoiler just in case, but this was during the credits not at the end.

For those of you who like playing the game of spotting Joss Wheedon's re-use of actors from his shows I spotted two people from Dollhouse:


One of the cops that Captain America gives orders two is Enver Gjokaj who played "Victor" and a waitress who is saved by Cap and then talks about it on the TV montage at the end is played by Ashley Johnson who was in the episode "Omega" playing.... a waitress.

I think I need help weeping


What I didn't spot was that The Other was played by Alexis Denisof!

Took me a while to place Ashley Johnson but she was the daughter in 'What women want'

Just got back from watching this. loved it. thought it was great. some very funny parts. when the credits rolled it was interesting to see how many people just got up and walked out, not waiting for the very end. must have been about 20 people go. would love to talk about it but dont want to spoil the movie for those who have'nt seen it.biggrin

You see the thing about the *after the movie ends extra scene* is that its only relevent to the next film, not the one you have just scene. We all know there will be one, but you want to go home and you know it will be on the DVD or online, all of which will be available before the next movie comes out. So there is no point staying. We didnt and I knew there would be some extra stuff. All Ive needed to do was read this thread and I know what it is.
