Just finished watching it, great film. Can't wait to watch it in HD.

[EvilBoris]

The cinema is HD!

[Orgun]

...I wouldnt call the cinema near here HD, grainy/blurry as ****.

[EvilBoris]

I think the one I saw it on was digital, but with a crap projector or something, it was juddering all over the shop on panning scenes.

Lol, where do you think they get the HD transfers from if not the film? Film is something like approximately 4x the resolution of 1080p.

Oh i know that, the cinema in my area is just really really crap so it looks like your watching something on VHS but on a really large screen...probably get better quality from pirate cam footage

But the projector and screen aren't nearly as good as a 1080p TV with a couch to sit in, unless it's digital. I much prefer watching films at home on HD-DVD/Blu-ray, much brighter too.

Watched it last night and thought it was aces. The suits were AMAZE!!1 When it comes out of the floor, he steps into the boots and the suit is built around him my jaw was on teh floor. Great stuff.

Oh, but WTF was with the Star Wars spoof bit - seemed very odd having that in there to me...

That was the exact bit where I saw it. It's very scabby when they aren't even running films in the cinema at the original 24FPS!

Really enjoyed this. RDJr looked cool as fook. The girlfriend loved it too. She didn't fancy it too much pre-arm bend. Mission accomplished. Was a good introduction to a Marvel character I knew nothing about, hope the sequel brings some fine meaty hero chunks to my eyes.

Outstanding stuff, definitely gives Batman Begins a run for its money as the best of this modern day regeneration of the superhero movie, but all credit here really has to go the fantastic Robert Downey Jr. Good job, sir, good job.

Hats off to Jon Favreau that's one classy introduction to one of Marvels lesser known heroes. Robert Downey Jr is superb as Stark and the supporting cast very good as well.

Good to see a director not afraid to avoid gratuitous quick cuts in action scenes.

Definite hints at the direction of a probably already planned sequel which I would like to see.

This one will look great on Blu-Ray.

I think it's a matter of opinion. I far prefer a high quality analog cinema projection to a pin sharp, ultrabright digital image. It feels far more filmic and atmospheric to me...LCD in particular is too clinical in my opinion. I definitely disagree that digital projections are better than analog ones.

If your cinema is poor though then yes, I can see why it would seem to have less detail than HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

i prefer the 'warmth' of the cinema projector image, although i do love the digital projections i've seen (star wars 3, mi:3, spiderman 3, golden compass, and a few more i forget) as they're really clear, but i guess it depends on the film i'm seeing.

it's like vinyl vs cd and vhs vs dvd i guess
