Guest Low Roller Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I saw the movie Iron Man last night and, as a noted comic book enthusiast, I must say that I was incredibly impressed with the movie. Robert Downey Jr. nailed the role of Tony Stark to absolute perfection, the mythology from the comics was adapted very acurately, and the special effects were fucking cool. Oh yeah, and Gwynyth Paltrow is hot.Thumbs up as a good action movie and two thumbs up as probably the best adaptation of a Marvel character on the big screen.

badams Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I saw it last week and agree with you 100%. Downey was spot on as Tony Stark. The scenes with Downey and Paltrow were great, they play off of each other very well. I could see a lot of foreshadowing for Iron Man II. I am looking forward to it.

bouche Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 my vote for best superhero movie ever is cast! concerning iron man II foreshadowing...are you speaking of the scene AFTER the credits have completely rolled through? We sat in an empty theatre to see what happens at the end of the credits. I read on the internet that we had to. Batman and Robin are old news now anyway.

hamilton Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I probably don't need to point this out to anyone, but don't go see Speed Racer. I was dragged to it last weekend, and yes Veronica, it *is* as bad as you guessed it might be. Unless you're nine years old... then, perhaps, you could enjoy it. The chimpanzee was probably the one redeeming feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This eye-patched character is played by none other than Samuel L. Jackson.See it here if you must. It definitely sets up some really exciting new possibilities if other movies are to be made this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this one will be better but I have little faith it will live upto Iron Man or Spider Man 2.I think the Hulk would be better suited for a movie like The Avengers where he isn't the focus.

Hopefully more character development and less Hulk smash.Look for an Avengers movie in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too funny, the nerds in the room are really stoked by the scene To add, I thought the movie was kinda neat. Never been a comic book guy though and have no point of reference for this movie...

bouche Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 i'm by no means a comic book guy. this was just a wicked movie. I saw the importance of the final scene and the mentions of S.H.I.E.L.D. without knowing the "novels". My bro gave me more info that makes it all more powerful though. The Marvel folks apparantly have control over the direction as a movie studio now. They did this, and if they continue, we may be seeing a whole new slew of cool action films unlike anything we've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Rumor has it that a certain industrialist will make an appearance in the new Hulk movie. STRONG hints for future team up movies and IMHO, the way to good. Yay, Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'm glad that there are so many comic book movies.I hope they redo Frank Miller's 'the Dark Knight returns' - a 60 year old batman and a young female robin...A silver surfer movie not on the toes of the Fantastic Four would be awesome too...SHIELD...for THOR for me...There are so many awesome comic book heroes and villains and so many done to shame. Iron Man on my Birthday. Cool suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
