operawonderdude Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just got back from the midnight showing of it...pretty damn good. GO SEE IT. And yes, stay for the credits (as with any movie now and days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brithor Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I saw it on Wednesday. I thought it was good. Could be a lot better, but it was a lot better than the average Superhero movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi22 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 There have only been a handful of good comic book based movies:Superman I & II (Reeves) Batman (1989 Burton, the best) and Batman Begins (I think it's overrated, but still good) Spiderman 2 -- I hate 1 but many critics and fans like it, 3 is merely ok Forget about the rest. After the bullshit that is the X-Men series, Daredevil / Elektra, Fantastic 4 / Silver Surfer, I've decided to watch every superhero movie with abysmal expectations and the faint hope that it might actually be decent. Tim Burton's Batman makes me want to punch him with how little he understood any of the characters in it. Also, The first two X-Men movies were great thank you. I'm going to see Iron Man tonight. Unlike the Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Elektra, or The Punisher, this one actually looks good from the trailers. I think it may have to do with the fact that Robert Downey Jr. is probably the perfect choice to play Tony Stark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I can't wait for.. Dude, is that a Starchaser: Legend of Orin pic in your sig? You just became my hero! Love that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Justice Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I saw Iron Man last night at a midnight showing. I thought it was pretty good. The "hero origin story" part of the movie was long but probably my favorite part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuriousFure Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I saw it last night. Great Movie. (keep in mind i saw it for free, so I'm bound to be optimistic) They have to continue this new trend of getting good actors. I gotta say out of all of the comic book movies, this goes on my top 5 (rough list) 1.X-men 2.Batman Begins 3.The Mask 4.Men in Black 5.Iron Man 6.Sin City 7.Mystery Men 8.A History of Violence 9.V for Vendetta 10.TMNT (live action) personally, I think: X3 was a cheap hollow excuse of a movie The only fans of Elektra were middle-aged lonely men in trench coats. Fantastic Four (1 & 2) were corny as hell. and Hulk was a steaming pile of elephant dung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgx Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 According to Rotten Tomatoes, this is the highest reviewed movie so far this year. Robert Downey Jr is a cool actor. I want to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brycepops Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 So...Who is the villain? I assume it's not the Mandarin. Iron Monger, I think? I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm not really sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono26 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Obadiah Stane/ Iron Monger is the villian. no spoiler warnings needed, its all up in the trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiJayy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 There were more than one?Also, on the topic of iron man: Do not see: The invincible Iron-man. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903135/ It was terrible. Awwww man. Are you serious? I was thinking about renting that movie. I loved The Avenger's 1 and 2 (well mostly 1.) It's hard to believe this one sucks. I don't know it probably does, animated movies aren't what they use to be. I'm defintely going to see "Iron Man." Trailer looks good, and critics are giving it a 4 and a-half star. Which is a usually high rating for a Marvel movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maco70 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Awwww man. Are you serious? I was thinking about renting that movie. I second the motion, the animated Iron Man was all kinds of awful. I had high hopes for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindStrike Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I was gonna watch it today, but I was there at the wrong time for a Digital screening of the movie. So I'll be watching it in approximately 12 hours and 20 mintutes. Hooray for digital awesomeness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonium Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I really recommend this movie to any comicbook/super hero loving fan. Great acting, good amount of humor, incredibly realistic looking IronMan, and just an overall FUN movie to watch. If you do go see it, stay after the credits.

MechaFone Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I saw it last night. Wow. I had a chance to sit around and wait for an hour to watch it, but I caught it at the last second and got in right before the previews. I should've waited...the theatre was SO packed, we had to get into the nosebleed section and the top right, where the sound didn't hit us. The bass was nice, but the voices were strained. I'm definitely gonna go see it again. Awesome, awesome, awesome. The story, the acting, the action, everything about this movie was fucking fantastic. Especially the end. It kinda figures that Hollywood's "Bad Motherfucker" would make an appearence. I can't wait to see what happens next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvi Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hmm I actually enjoyed this. It was pretty bad though, I was the only one that got the joke at the start about the Maxim girls. I started laughing super hard and my friends were like wtf are you laughing at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
