Iron Man Movie!

Saw it today and it was really great! Robert Downey Jr as Iron man was inspired casting, but Jeff Bridges (almost unrecongnizeable!) as the villain was a master stroke and icing on the cake! 5 out of 5 stars!:smiley:

Saw it saturday

Definitely worth the 8.50 folks to see it in theaters

It cool to see the character progression in Downey as iron man as he progressed from using his genius to build and sell weapons and live the selfish billionare life to selflessly defending the common good of the people with his inventions.

Nice effects too

there wasnā€™t enough kicking the shit out of stuff with the suit, but yeah, i liked it, even if it was a tad anticlimactic. I just expected more flying fights anā€™ stuff.

I was waiting for you to make this thread Terry, it seems like you tend to go out and see movies right around the same time I do. I saw it last night and I loved it. I thought it was the best super hero movie to date. I canā€™t wait to see the second one. I really hope they try and stay as true as possible to the comic, it could make this the first edgy super hero movie.

Well, I also liked Christian Baleā€™s portrayal in ā€œBatman returnsā€. Much more character driven. We actually find out-for the first time in a film version-how & why Batman came to be. Very edgy and dark, and well acted.

Good action but i agree with abbabibble that it could have used more action in the suit.

ā€¦but how many of you actually saw the ending

with Nick Fury

I believe that was batman begins.
batman returns is actually a different movie
The sequel to batman begins is comming out soon In june I think

I saw it, made fun of alot of the peoples names in the credits, but I really donā€™t like Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury.

Batman begins was an awesome movie. The acting of all parts was very well done (especially the scare crow guy). The Spiderman series were all sh*t. Iā€™m going to check out this iron man thing, sounds cool.

Boo.

For a second there I thought this forum got coolā€¦ thought you guys were talking about the cyberpunk art-horror classic from Japan, Tetsuo: The Iron Man.

Hereā€™s a snippet of a great review at snowblood apple:

If any of you have problems finding this masterpiece at the local video store, I may have a copy I can loan you :wink:

The last twenty seconds were worth the admission price alone.
Especially if youā€™re familiar with the Ultimates.
There was a collective gasp for the fanboys (including myself) when Fury appeared.

Sucked.

Iā€™m glad Olivier is dead otherwise heā€™d have to do a crappy summer blockbuster based on a comic book. I like Downey Jr, Bridges, and Paltrow, but this trend is not unlike when the Stones and the Dead did disco.

Oh, and donā€™t even get me started on the plausibility of naive idealistic weapons manufacturers.

The dark night comes out in july on the 16 i think

Haha yeah youā€™re right! :smiley:

I went to see Iron man last night!
Awesome. :slight_smile:
Itā€™s definately the best superhero movie in a while. (They were a bit crap for a while werenā€™t they?)
I think it was great. I havenā€™t actually read much into iron man much before so this definately got me hooked!
As for batman, I find Christian Bale a bitā€¦creepy. I donā€™t really trust him and I think Batman needs to be trusted (especially with Robin hanging about!).
But i canā€™t wait to see some joker action! :smiley:
(heā€™s my favorite batty villan!)

i havent seen iron man butā€¦ did you know a man from the UK, on holiday in america, managed to wander onto the set and got onto the film :astonished: ! here is an artical about iti think its kinda funny how someone can do that so easily!

thatā€™s so awesome.
itā€™s like ā€œmovie crashingā€
i think iā€™m gonna start a club!

sounds fun, ill join! lets try and get unicycles into all of them lol, that would crack me up, and confuse the hell out of everyone else:D

and if anyone refuses you can just run them down!

Batman vs. Iron Man
