Very Cool movie!

Great story, awesome special effects - really enjoyed it.

I've heard it's playing at Harkins if you want the really big screen effect.

It's also playing in the grand auditorium at Warren.

I'd recommend Warren to anyone who likes to see a great movie in an awesome venue. My friends and I just got regular tickets but the inside is far better in person than it is in a picture. The art deco is sweet. And the grand auditorium reminds me of a theatre that used to be up in Missouri where I lived.

I'd like to go back again and check out the diner that is inside and also take advantage of the balcony area one day.

In the auditorium today, I noticed this windowed room near the back on the right hand side when you first walk in to it. There were people in there, of course, but does anyone know what that thing was? Smoking room, lol?

That's the "crying room" where parents can take their younglings and if they cry, they won't disturb the rest of the audience.

There is...it shows who is going to be in the next movie.

Went to see it on Saturday at the Warren...great show. If anyone wants to see a special effects packed movie...I would strongly suggest you don't see it at any other theatre except the Warren. Their picture and sound quality can't be touched by anyone else in the area.

I thought the movie was OK. Great graphics and action. But I guess I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe I felt like all the previous superhero movies where the first one doesn't offer much but they bait you for the sequels. The story

Yes there is a little clip after the credits. Haha which led to a group of dungeon and dragon types (yes you know what I am talking about) to holler and cheer.

2010...

I just saw the movie tonight at Warren.. I love the digital sound, but you just can't get the beautiful colors and hues of film that you don't get with digital... other than that, the seats where amazingly comfortable and roomy.

Iron Man itself was a great movie, there were several parts referencing a second movie. I really liked this one, it held my attention mainly because it was real to life and plausible.

YOU MUST STAY PAST THE END OF THE CREDITS! My jaw dropped, and I can't wait. That's all I will say.

It was great seeing a movie with lots of action that was also funny and actually had some good writing for a change. I'd have to say I'm going to have to buy the BluRay when it comes out.

YES! DO stay after the credits, the credits run about 4-5 minutes, but do stay.

HINT: Never leave from a movie, even if the credits are rollings, if the house lights have not come up.

Seems I'm echoing the sentiment of other reviewers in this thread, but I loved it! I'm not a big Robert Downey, Jr. fan and I was suprised that he could pull this off so convincingly.

I've seen a lot of crappy movies lately and it was nice to feel as if my entertainment dollars were well spent. I'll likely check it out again this weekend!

Hey Ginkasa did they expand it b/c all I read was that the Cine Capri was 70 feet wide while the Warren screens are 80 feet?

I read that they specifically picked Robert Downey, Jr. because his life style is apparently a lot like Tony Stark's in real life. Could you imagine?

dismayed you beat me to the chase on this one. I figured RDJr was so convincing because of how much of a d*** he is in real life.

Warren is lying about their screen. Lying. They say their screen is 80x40, but you can tell just by looking at it that its not. Its too square to fit those dimensions. Plus, movie don't come out in 2:1. They're released at 2.35:1 or 1.85:1, so even if they were telling the truth, you wouldn't ever see all of Warren's screen anyway.

Besides, it just doesn't look any bigger than the Cine Capri. The Cine Capri remains the largest screen in Oklahoma at 70x30 feet.

LOL So why has Harkins not gone after Warren for all the advsertisment's saying his screen is 80ft which would make it larger? How much bigger is Cine Capri then? Every article on the Warren has stated it is 80ft as well. So the Cine Capri is larger because you "think so"? Come on quit doging on Warren and see it is a better theatre with two bigger screens.

I thought the IMAX theater in Tulsa had the biggest screen.. i do remember a discussion we had on this board about that not too long ago.

Just an update too, I went and saw "What Happens in Vegas" at Warren tonight. The movie was shown in the Grand Auditorium. We sat on the very last row, and it was still a good angle. The screen is pretty wide, but it could be just the architecture, but the Ceni-Capri just feels larger on the inside than Warrens.
