Iron Man the movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1083/...717c13ca_o.jpg the casting of Robert Downey, Jr., was brilliant! He's a damn good actor with a tremendous amount of range and intimately understands substance addiction. Perfect! |
it looks interesting but if it's anywhere close to the animated IRON MAN movie that came out this year, then it will be a total flop.
now that i got that out of the way, I really hope they do it the way batman begins did it. Now i'll just wait for the FULL cinema trailer to see if it's a must see movie. :) |
new trailer leaked from comic con!
Enjoy :D |

I'm squealing like a little school girl right now....
|
Omigod, I think I just scorched my shorts!
|
I just search for Iron Man the movie on google and GS - your thread was the 10th link on the list - simple I know but still pretty cool.
|
I can't wait for this movie... some questions though about Stark's glowy pacemaker... why is it glowy?
Why Tony Stark's pacemaker is glowy (Spoiler) click to show |
It's a magnet that prevents shrapnel from entering his heart, and the glow is really cool looking.
|
Yeah my friend explained that was the purpose of the pacemaker, but he had no idea why it was glowing either. So it is glowing to be glowy, I figure.
|
This one I can not wait to see. I have always been a huge fan of Iron Man, Since I was about 5 years old I bet ya. He is way cooler than those other gay heroes (like spiderman, I even thought he was gay when I was little).
w00t for Iron Man! |

Are there any posts below Will's embedded video post?
It won't open up beyond that. I fucking hate all of these embedded video clips. My dialup makes me skip half the interesting threads. :sad: |
I removed the html. Everything should be fine now.
|
iron man has a pacemaker?
didnt realize Robert Downey Jr was starring in it. now i'll have to watch for it. |

ahhhh
thanks for the explanation :) |
No problemo. Glad to help. I hope I didn't give anything away, though.
May 2008 seems a long way off... |
nope.
did read the spoiler though. i'm a bit lax on my comic superhero mythology. |
Thanks for editting Will. You're a pal. :)
I've seen clips of this movie on various tv shows and it looks sweet. I also saw a clip of the game on the Video Game Awards on SpikeTv. It looks fantastic, too. *c'mon 2008!* |
Robert Downey Jr. = Tony Stark??
I was skeptical at first.. but then I thought;
all he needs to do is play a smug alcoholic industrialist with a mad on for making cool toys. After seeing several clips... I am most impressed with this one. http://www.marvel.com/news/moviestor...an_Movie_Still Suit is pretty impressive, I was also a little leery on that one as well.. see for yourself. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...24/IronMan.jpg So... anyone here planning on seeing it when it hits? [edit, sorry about the white space.. lol] |
the special effects looked good in the trailer i saw plus i like RDJ as an actor so yeah, i'll go see it when it comes out.
|
I think it's perfect casting...
|
I'll probably see it several times. Iron Man is the only neocon I like.
|
The movie seems interesting enough but I know for a fact that Ghostface will be sorely pissed if he isn't allowed to contribute in some way or another to the soundtrack.
edit: Speak of the devil: Quote:
|
Yep. Saw the trailer in the theater, love Robert Downey Jr and a friend of mine says it's going to be great. I'll see it.
|
Robert Downey is awesome, I think he was cast perfect for this one. Iron Man has always been one of my favorite characters, ever since I was just wee. Plan on seeing this movie several times.
|
This movie better be good, it looks awesome.
And what happened to this thread? Huh... the mods merged the threads... thanks for making me look like an idiot seemingly linking back to the same thread /laughs/. I mean, I am an idiot... but give me credit! |

Oops.....
So, at least now we have double the Tony Stark goodness! |
looks to be the best marvel franchise movie since spiderman
fantastic four is too corny and the rest range from barely decent (hulk) to awful (elektra) |
New Ironman Trailer played during the Superbowl!
http://www.stage6.com/user/arielvtpm...spot-superbowl HD Version of the new Trailer - http://www.stage6.com/HD-Movie-Trail...erbowl-trailer) |
That looks so awesome! I f'ing can't wait to see that!!
|
All right... after careful review //laughs//: Do the Ironman scenes look... hokey? Am I the only one getting really sick and tired of CGI emphasis in scenes that would be "too difficult" to accomplish in real life? Did too difficult stop Stuart Gordon with Robot Jox? Did too difficult stop Chris Columbus (for real that was the director's name?!) when he made Bicentennial Man (or that other Spanish/{whatever else historians argue he was} guy from crossing the ocean)? Did too difficult stop _[some other guy]_ from _[doing something else hard, help me out here]_? No they didn't just stick to the CGI! They used stop-motion or made actual hard suits or _[something else]_!

I have no issue with CG effects as such; I understand that it allows filmmakers to do crazy cool things without having to resort to time consuming and relatively expensive techniques like stop motion or miniatures or whatever else. Creating an Iron Man that can fly and actually look like Iron Man flying and not a model on a string (or a dude on wires) almost demands CGI. Creating armour that does the crazy stuff Iron Man's armour does, same deal. That said, my primary concern is that they give the suit the appearance of mass. 616 Iron Man's original suits were so heavy that if they lost power he was completely unable to move. His new armour has crazy force fields and quantum mechanic stuff to make it lighter and more flexible, but I doubt they'll incorporate that into the film. For a good idea of how I imagine his final armour will be portrayed check out Ultimate Iron Man. At any rate, this is a suit of armour that smashes through walls and stands up to blows from the Incredible Hulk (as well as anything does, anyway). It's not light, it's not flimsy. There's a sheer mass to it that needs to come across and I'm not sure from the glimpses we've gotten in the trailers that it's really there. Iron Man is not a red and gold version of Batman. |
Robot Jox was the Casablanca of giant robot movies.

Nope, sorry. Gimme the CGI any day. I want my Iron Man movie to be like sitting watching an Iron Man comic book. Dude in a tin suit on wires isn't gonna cut it.
Also... Robot Jox?! Really?! You're reaching for impressive pre-CGI effects, and you go straight to...Robot Jox?! Dude, I don't mean to be hating, but...I was embarrassed for the people I saw walking into that flick back in 1990! Robot Jox is like two apocalyptic steps up from Clash of the Titans.... |
The scene with Achilles' PTSD breakdown after his Jox crushed the crowd not winning an Oscar was the worst travesty in the history of cinema.
|
I went straight for Robot Jox because I read about how that movie was put together with damn near no money, like no one could tell, yet Gordon still went for so much. Poor production planning on his part... probably. Doesn't change the fact that those miniatures still feel more real than CGI. OK, and Gordon has a special place in my heart for bringing Herbert West to life... so to speak.
And it was in the theater?? I thought it went straight to video! |

Wow... I am amazed my father somehow did not take me to go see it when I was a kid.
Still, back to why I am afraid of an emphasis on CGI. We as the consumers of the entertainment industry have had some rather bad comic book adaptions forced on our plate... yet we ate it up. I won't drop any names //cough// ELEKTRA //cough cough// DAREDEVIL //cough// -excuse me- of the ones I didn't care for. Some movies pull it off. I will admit I loved the comic book feel del Toro accomplished in Hellboy and am stoked about the next one. Yeah some of the effects were hokey, others were great. Overall, it was a really fun movie that got me to just relax and enjoy. For me, I would not expect Iron Man to be a movie where the comic book feel would be emphasized. Think Batman Begins or The Punisher. Yes, Punisher had a lot of crazy things going on in it, just look at the Russian, but the movie was, in my opinion, a character-intense movie that Jane pulled off. Travolta's kinda sucked at the end... but c'est la vi. Both the movies mentioned are about an intense portrayal of the characters, not on the comic book feel... OK let's forget about the microwave emitter. The character Stark suffers his demons and keeps some dark secrets (drinking, fragment in his heart), and went through an intense ordeal. To me, these make a perfect opportunity to make another intense-character based flick, and not some popcorn action-packed darkly-humorous with side stories up the wazoo flick. Iff (if and only if) RDJ can make a really believable Stark, or some jerk gazillionaire engineer I want to become, I will probably just sit back and let the characters have their way with me, regardless of the CGI. -Yes, that did sound bad- |
I refuse to get excited about this movie. The last batch of Marvel movies (Spider-man 3, X-men 3, Fantastic Four 1&2, and Ghost Rider) have sucked so much that I wont get my hopes up for Iron Man. Who knows maybe I'll be surprised if it isn't horrible.

Damn, as soon as I finally get DSL, the Iron Man Super Bowl clip goes bye-bye. :(

Edit: Just a reminder to everyone Tony Stark is a NeoCon. He loves war, he's a conservative through and through, and he probably voted for Bush. When you see Iron Man, assuming it's true to the comic, you will think that it's a government conspiracy. It's not. Iron Man is to comics as Fox News is to news. I hope everyone is clear on this so they can turn off their brains and enjoy the movie. |
Did you just introduce math to this thread, will? ;-P
|
Wow that new trailer looks good. I hope it is.

In case no one noticed the universe imploding upon itself over the past 2 days, Iron Man has been released to critics and it's getting absurdly good reviews. We're talking 95% on Rotten Tomatoes with a sample size of 81 reviews. This is ground breaking...even the best of comic book movies never have that high of a tomatometer.........
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/iron_man/ |
I am so hyped for this movie. get to see it tonight. Buddy scored prescreening tickets for us. I'll let you know if it is worth it or not. :D
|
Oh my sweet fucking Jesus, this movie fucking rocked! They did EVERYTHING right. See it, see it now, see it often. I will not give any spoilers, but I will say this. Do NOT leave before the credits are over. You MUST watch them to the end.
|
96% after 120 reviews at Rotten Tomatoes - THANK YOU JESUS
|
I am so looking forward to this! I am trying to get someone to go with me this afternoon.
|
Spoiler: Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is actually kinda lame.
|
Iron Man was the SHIT!! The only action movie in recent memory I've wanted to go see again.
Sort of a spoiler, but not really: I kept waiting for Obediah to make a White Russian. They should have had John Goodman in it long enough to call Obediah "Dude." Because Spoiler: Jeff Bridges "The Big Lebowski" is Obediah. You might not recognize him at first. And Halx's spoiler is right on. |
Quote:
What is lame is Hasselhoff as Nick Fury. LINK By the way... I saw Iron Man last night... and it was very good. I highly recommend seeing this one. I think I might be even better than the comics (which were always kind of boring). |
Did anyone catch Spoiler: the War Machine reference?
|
Question with spoiler in it:
Spoiler: The name of the terrorist group was The Ten Rings. Is that a reference to Mandarin? I'm not a big Iron Man fanboy, but aren't they mortal enemies? |
Quote:
This movie was great. It was really well done and everyone seemed to fit their roles very well. |
Quote:
Next time, baby. :suave: |
It was pretty good. I'd give it 3 stars out of 4. The only thing I was disappointed with was Spoiler: how the business partner turned into generic "I'LL GET YOU GADGET!!" bad guy with a huge mech suit at the end. Come on, the entire movie was smarter than that, why did they have to settle for that bullshit??
|
Fantastic.
It managed to live up to the spectacular trailers. I think they even actually read the comic. I look forward to the inevitable Iron Man 2 with great interest. |
Spoiler: this thread looks like some confidential whitehouse document
|
Just got home from the movie, and can safely say it was great. My wife liked it too, and she's not normally a fan of big action comic book adaptations.
My only not of dissent was actually that throughout the movie they use snatches of a cover of the Black Sabbath Iron Man riff, but use an anodyne instrumental version with no bite in the closing credits - it would have worked really well to have a full vocal version by someone (if not Ozzy etc). |

I have yet to see this film and therefore cannot comment on it's quality. However, I just received a phone call from my sister's boyfriend telling me that when I go see it I have to stay right to the end of the credits. I am now passing this pearl of wisdom onto the TFP.
|
19-year-old daughter's reaction to the film: It was awesome!
48-year-old boyfriend's reaction to the film: eh, it was alright... Think I'll be waiting for the dvd. |
Quote:
Quite frankly, I could give 2 shits about it. Spoiler: Samuel L. Jackson hasn't impressed me since Pulp Fiction or MAYBE Die Hard 3. |
I would have stayed to the end (I normally do) but the teenage wankery of the pricks in the row in front of me caused us to leave.
Ho hum. |

Excellent acting, perfect pacing, fantastic special effects...everything just seemed to work, even the "Dude" as Stane. I don't like Jon Faverau stuff on principle, but...wow....very well done. As far as bad guys go, meh....but it's a classic and I just don't see how they could've started with anything else. Plus now that that's out of the way, it's on to bigger and badder....baddies? |

Man, reading this thread makes me want to go see it again.
What an amazing movie. Its good to hear that it has made so much money so far, I can not wait for a sequel Waits impatiently for Dark Knight |
Great movie!! Wasnt sure if RDJ could pull of playing Stark but he did a great job!
|
Quote:
Spoiler: The Ten Rings guys that kid napped him are The Mandarin's lackies. Perfect set up for the next movie. |
I thought the guy that looked similar to The Mandarin in the movie was actually Mandarin? He had a huge freaking ring on the entire movie so I figured he was already on his quest to get all 10.

I saw it again last night, and while watching the credits, I noticed that the solo piano piece Obadiah was playing (you know, at the beginning of the pizza scene) was composed by Salieri. Nice touch!
|
That *is* a nice touch.

Guess the movie lines

I actually read about that exo-suit in a magazine--I'm pretty sure it was Pop Science, actually--and it actually looks pretty cool and, after a few years of testing and alterations, feasible.
|
It was a 4 hour train ride- with a connecting train delay of little more than 2 minutes- to the nearest city that was playing it in English. Then two subways later, I watched it. Waited all the way to the very end of the movie. I had to run to the subways, and run to the train station and made it to my train with only four minutes to spare.
Movie was so fucking worth it. |
So I finally saw this damn thing. I went into the theatre thinking that after all of the hype I'd been hearing and my own dreams of how awesome it was going to be, there was no way this movie could live up to my expectations, but somehow it did.
I diligently avoided spoilers leading up to viewing the film, without ever realizing that, having read the comics, I'd already have a broad idea of the plot going in. My only question is why they felt it necessary to make Jarvis a computer. Maybe they felt he'd compete with Pepper for screen time or something? Ah, well. Bring on Cap and the Avengers! |
One of the best comic-book movies made to date. Go see it if you haven't already.

Iron Man 2 may end up being Iron Man vs. the Incredible Hulk, summer 2010. Still, I'd much prefer if Favreau directed. He really created the perfect popcorn movie.
