Title: Iron Man
Post by: Takuthehedgehog on May 02, 2008, 04:33:02 pm
Who else has seen it yet? I went to the early showing last night. It's quite possibly my favorite superhero movie ever. Really makes me want to get into the Iron Man comics too. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you stick around until after the credits. ;)

Thanks, I'm gonna go see it today with some friends. I'll tell you what I thought of it tomorrow. It looks pretty sweet though.

I love the Robocop reference in that one scene.

I should be seeing it within a week or two, and I'm really looking forward to it. It definitely seems like it will be one of the better comic-to-film adaptations.

Yeah, 94% last time I looked. 91% with top critics. It'll probably go down a bit as more reviews come out, but that's still pretty damn high, for any movie.

I'm gonna see it with Dana and our dad tonight, 7.30pm or something, I think. I have high hopes. The film better not disappoint.

Iron Man is SUCH a good movie. It makes most of Marvel's other movies look like utter crap.

Okay, so I checked Rotten Tomatoes again, and it already has a very many reviews, so I probably won't go down very much, if at all. Which is very surprising.

I have to see this movie.

Just got back from seeing it-

Gotta say; this was possibly the best movie from the marvel slew IMO

When Rhodes looked at the Mark 2 and said "Next time" made me laugh my !@#$% ass off; because if any of you follow this stuff, you'd know that he is War Machine; http://jjinbeat.com/Cap/StarSpangledSite/IronMan-WarMachine.jpg

The entire movie could have been !@#$%, but the Nick Fury thing at the end = instant win.

I recently saw this movie with some friends, and have to say that it's lived up to its reputation and then some. It was the best superhero movie I've ever seen, and the most entertaining movie I've seen in a long time. I loved every second of it.

I dunno, it's hard to beat Peter Parker finger banging random people on the street. I'll admit, I let out a heart laugh at that and the part where he danced.

Anyway, I saw it last Saturday and I was more than pleased with it. I really liked Robert Downy Jr.'s portrayal of Mr. Stark, and Gwyneth Paltrow's performance was spot on. I wasn't as pleased with Jeff Bridges, but he did a good job, as did Terrence Howard. Also, the writer is a genius; I found myself laughing quite a bit at some of Tony Stark's lines.

I saw it last night.  Pretty good overall, at least in contrast to the average super-hero movie.  I'd say it's about on par with Batman Begins.

Really?  I just felt embarrassed during that part... like it was somehow my fault that Peter Parker dyed his hair black and started dancing or something... :-\

From what I've read Robert Downey Jr. altered many of his lines to better fit his real-life image.  I think it worked out pretty good, even without taking into consideration Downey's record.  Apparently before he had his way with his lines the movie was almost entirely humorless, (at least according to interviews).

I can't wait to see this.

I haven't even HEARD of Iron Man, but from the sounds of all the critics and your guys' opinions, I'm really pumped for a good superhero movie, considering the last good one I saw was Batman Begins... and then Spider-Man 2.

I just have to wait until the movie comes to my town D: Should be a couple weeks.

It was weird, I enjoyed Downey's performance more than I did the actual Iron Man stuff, and that's saying a lot since the fights were pretty cool. Glad to see that some filmmakers still understand that characters and plot should take priority over blowing crap up. I wouldn't say it's Batman Begins good, but most certainly a close second.
