... heads and said, `This doesn't make sense,'" recalls Trucco, whose vertebrae damage was likened to Christopher Reeve's. "I was told only one in 100 people can walk away from an accident like that. I easily could have died or ended up a paraplegic. I'm the luckiest guy alive." Well, maybe the second luckiest. Trucco's friend, whom he declines to name, escaped without a scratch – probably...

... The best Marvel movie yet. Robert Downey, Jr. is the single best-cast super hero since Christopher Reeve as Superman, and the humor and humanity he brings to the role of the cool exec with the heart of steel is just remarkable. And on top of all that, the screenplay has one of the best last lines ever.REGGIE HUDLIN (writer of BLACK PANTHER): I have to see it again. I actually wanted...

... true: Robert Downey Jr. kills as Tony Stark. Quite possibly the best superhero casting ever, since Christopher Reeve put on that red cape. And now, some more SPOILER-iffic comments about the film. The SPOILERS begin right after this still of Iron Man shooting off his arm-rocket, and end when you see the still with the big blowy-upness.

Eight Belles is probably in Heaven by now, galloping in fields of clover on four sturdy legs and eating tasty apples. No, I'm not sure which friends she's romping about with up there (a safe bet; one of them is not Christopher Reeve). Down here on earth, though, things are quite unsettled. Who is to blame?
