Iron Man Movie

[JEFFTATE]

I'm pretty stoked about the new Iron Man Movie coming out !

He was always my favorite comic book character because he was just a smart guy who built this incredible machine and blew shi* up.
He wasn't some guy that got his powers from an alien , or a scientific experiment , or anything supenatural.
Just a smart guy.
Anyway , the trailers are probably some of the best I've ever seen.
Movie should be awesome !

[gordonquixote]

Yep - me and the GF saw the trailer at the movies recently. It looks really good!

[trapin]

....running as fast as they can....Iron Man lives again.

[GTOnate]

should be really good. I can't wait

[NOPANTS-68]

super stoked. Iron Man was one of the best characters in the Marvel collection. **sigh** I will be there opening night with all the other nerds. lol

[Tony_SS]

Glad to see Robert Downey Jr back in action... he'll make that whole movie.

[MrQuick]

I don't know...I haven't looked at him the same since "Less than zero". I hope its good....I had high hopes for Ghost rider but we know where that went.

[zbugger]

I can't wait to see this one. It looks good from the trailers. I was super stoked when the Silver Surfer finally made an appearance. I hope they do well with this one like they did with him.

[go-fish]

Looks like a good plot. something happens and the explosions. Those are the best flicks.

[twosaturns]

we're finally at the point w/ technology that our favorite comics can be done on the big screen. iron man looks to be killer.

[JEFFTATE]

super stoked. Iron Man was one of the best characters in the Marvel collection. **sigh** I will be there opening night with all the other nerds. lol

Me Too !

[Bow Tie 67]

Ok, just watched the trailer, gave me a little buzzzz. 3 weeks and counting.

[Tony_SS]

Looks like a good plot. something happens and the explosions. Those are the best flicks.

Lol! That's why I think RD is the only bright spot of the film. I like him as an actor but outside of that, Iron Man just looks like another super hero movie with super effects riding the wave of the sensationalism of war that's been popular for the last few years.

[JEFFTATE]

Yeah !
Sensationalism !

Robert Downey seems to fit perfectly in the role.
He turns Tony Stark into a good, likeable smartass .

[JEFFTATE]

I'm going to the Drive-in ( www.tigerdrivein.com ) to see it on Saturday.

[hotrodf1]

So what's the verdict?

Fun to watch or what?

Looks killer - I downloaded the trailer way back on the PSIII and saw it in HD. Slick!!

[Chad-1stGen]

Movie has a 95% fresh rating on rotten tomatoes. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/iron_man/

Has to be the highest rating for a super hero / comic book movie. Pretty impressive.

[Chad-1stGen]

Looks like I was right. Actually the highest rated for 2008 so far and is the highest super hero movie according to this article:

[hotrodf1]

Sweet, I'm checkin it out tonight!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

..this movie was SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

youll love it.

[TonyL]

From what I've seen of it, I have high hopes. Looks like it was actually given some respect by the director. All the campy "comic book" stuff seems to be removed.

[J-Rod]

..this movie was SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

youll love it.

Ditto! And if you're a comic book fan, STAY AFTER THE CREDITS!!

It's worth it.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

and i love the "war machine" cameo.

[JEFFTATE]

Saw It !.
It was great.
Now I can't wait for the sequel !

[trapin]

My kid got in trouble at School on Friday so he was grounded Saturday and we didn't go. I was pissed. This is the first time I punished my kid and I actually got punished along with him. I wanted to see it DAMN IT!!! LOL!!!!! His brother was pissed too because he didn't get to go and he did nothing wrong.

I told him, however, that next week I am definitely going and whether he goes with me or not depends on if he behaves this week.

[ajjones44]

Ditto! And if you're a comic book fan, STAY AFTER THE CREDITS!!

It's worth it.

What happened after the credits??????????? :help:

[69TAPoser]

Saw it Sunday with the kids. Good movie. :2nd:

I would rank Transformers higher though. I loved that movie. :1st:

...And Megan Fox trumps Gwyneth Paltrow any day of the week. :worship:

Phil

[TonyL]

What happened after the credits??????????? :help:

Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) is waiting at Tony's house when he returns home from the press conference at the end.

He tells Tony that it's time to talk about the "Avenger Inititave"

John Favreau is already scheduled to direct the Avengers movie to debut in 2011.

[Bow Tie 67]

I took my teenage daughters, the 14 year old was pissed that I made her go with instead of hanging out with her friends. OH well !!!

They both loved it, it was very good and I think the sequel cant come out soon enough.

[Young Gun]

that movie...was freaking awsome... hahaha

[69camarokid]

this movie was sooooo damn good.!!!!

you got SHIELD, the set up for war machine, freaking nick fury, and a setup for the avengers!!!

i couldnt have asked for more.

and supposedly stark makes a cameo apperance in the upcoming hulk movie. there going to start tying all the movies together for the avengers movie!!!!!! my inner nerd is so happy!

Marvel Studios Sets Four More Release Dates!
Source: Marvel Entertainment May 5, 2008


Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $104.2 million domestically and over $201 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)

In a conference call this morning, Marvel Studios' David Maisel said that Iron Man 2 will be used to introduce Thor. Regarding more "Hulk" movies, Maisel said "We definitely plan on continuing." He added that development continues on Spider-Man 4. "I can't give any other updates other than to say it's in development and everybody's excited about 'Spider-Man 4,'" he said.

With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.)

[JEFFTATE]

WOW !
Lotsa' sequels !

[fast Ed]

Saw it last night ... awesome !!


cheers

[vp23271]

Lot's of action and kept your attention from beginning to end. Storyline and special effects were top notch. The Movie theater was packed! Worth buying on BluRay when it comes out to see it again!

[Young Gun]

Normally when you get a badass movie...the acting sucks...but the script and acting were actually really good FOR AN ACTION MOVIE...lol i particularly liked his interview with the woman from vanity fair...he has a quick tongue hahaha

[Project69]

Seen it, loved it.

[trapin]

Fellas I took the kids and Pop to go see this movie yesterday. What can I say? It was phenomenal...phenomenal...phenomenal...phenomenal. ..oh and did I mention......phenomenal?

That is by far the BEST superhero movie I have ever seen in my life. And that goes all the way back to the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. They nailed everything in this one; the acting, the casting, the special effects, the storyline. Awesome....just AWESOME. My kids and I are still talking about it today. I can not wait for the sequel.

Oh and one more thing....Robert Downey Jr. is back.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Oh and one more thing....Robert Downey Jr. is back.


Co-Signed..

[TonyL]

Oh and one more thing....Robert Downey Jr. is back.

Lets hope he dosen't use his newly restored fame to start down the abuse road again. He was really awesome in this movie. It'd be a shame to see him blow it all again.

[zbugger]

Just saw it last night. Awesome movie. I love the little quips they tossed in there too. Bits of comedy always make an action movie that much better. This one was just awesome.
