Definately seeing it (only summer movie Im really pumped for this year), but not this weekend. Probably wait 2 weeks or so.

I went at 4:30 to avoid all the kiddies, but it was packed with them anyway. They applauded with every new iteration of the suit and laughed at some dumb shit, but I still enjoyed it.

I'm so sick of going to theaters.

Solo · « **Reply #69 on:** May 02, 2008, 10:15:00 PM »

Part of the reason I am waiting a few weeks. Combination of a) work being nuts right now, b) teenybopper crowds, and c) GTAIV is eating up my entertainment time right now.

Just got back. Meh. It's not horrible, but it's pretty fucking average in nearly every regard. I expected cheese so that didn't bother me much, but I could only take so much of the bad script and strange editing. The final battle gave me Transformers flashbacks.

But omg Downey Jr. is fucking awesome. Terrence Howard meh, Paltrow omg. I couldn't take Jeff Bridges seriously once...well, see the movie. It's a pretty funny movie, which I didn't expect. The audience was cracking up

7/10

TVC15 · « **Reply #73 on:** May 03, 2008, 02:24:34 AM »

7/10 is about right. It does make up for Transformers being a complete disaster to me, though, since that flick scared me away from dumb movies for the next year.

Robert Downey Jr. is great in the movie, everyone else is kinda good, but not stand-out-y. The CG is good. I think CG has pretty much progressed to the point where it doesn't bug me with its fakeness anymore.

The movie kinda lulls in the last third or so, leading up to the final fight scene, but aside from that, it's pretty smooth-going. It was worth the ten bucks, and I'll probably grab it when it releases in HD.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #74 on:** May 03, 2008, 03:09:55 AM »

Overall the CG isn't bad but there are some horrible shots. I'm mainly thinking of the first Iron Man suit, when he uses the flame thrower. Also I noticed the smoke from...everything looked bad.

Human-CG interaction wasn't bad overall, which is key to me when you've got a main character that relies on CG

RDJ was really great in this movie. He's definitely one of my favorite current actors. The movie may have only been entertaining, but I don't think there could have been better casting in the lead.

Also, that new Indiana Jones trailer has me a bit worried. It felt really. . .flat.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #79 on:** May 03, 2008, 06:25:59 AM »

Love it, loved it, loved it!

But I was going in expecting a pretty slow action starved movie (being an origins movie). But I agree that if there was any actor playing Stark besides RDJ, the movie would have blown. RDJ IS TONY STARK

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Iron Monger was pretty fucking cool too, its too bad that it was pretty much a quick ass fight. I loved how big they made it, so beefy and powerful. I also agree with TVC, the CG was fantastic but I think thats partly due to how much of it was used (didn't seem like much)

drozmight · « **Reply #80 on:** May 03, 2008, 08:20:53 AM »

I saw it and thought it was ok. I'll probably never watch it again.

Indiana Jones looks cool because it has the domineering Soviet bitch in there as a villian. It'd be awesome to have a girlfriend like that. I hope we get see her beating the shit out of the new kid or something.

I'm pretty new to Iron Man and the two things I like best about Iron Man are the fact that he doesn't have a secret identity and that the person is leagues more interesting than the hero. Even Spiderman in the costume has a bit of a likable personality different from Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne and Batman are similar as well. Iron Man is completely stone-faced and the only reason we like him is because of Stark inside.

After the credits, yo. Sam L shows up to set up the sequel/spin-off.

Tony Stark gets home after his press conference, and his house is dark but you see Samuel L standing by the window and he's like "I am Iron Man, huh? You think you're the only superhero running around? You're stepping into a much larger world here." and Tony's like "Who are you?" and turns around and he's got the trademark eyepatch and he's like "I'm Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm here to talk to you about The Avengers Project."

It was way too goofy for me to enjoy. I dunno, like the corniness was pretty nice at first, but then it just escalated with every passing scene. The score ate balls dude, and every time I saw Jeff Bridges I couldn't stop thinking "Mind if I do a J?"

it was pretty corny but it was a lot better than the spiderman, batman, and superman movies of the last few years though. the movie actually has a little bit of a political message and the extra clip at the end of the credits (which I recommend waiting through) makes me think they're going to make a good sequel.

the credits are really long though. I got bored and started counting and counted 100 different stunt drivers.

Yeah, I really don't understand. I mean the guys at GAF are fucking nutso because they'd saw their dick off to shake Christian Bale's hand, but Batman Begins WAS a great fucking film. Whereas most comic book movies fall under these pardons for being based off a comic book and therefore have a shit plot, shittier writing, and are usually only made tolerable by the lead actors, Batman Begins retconned all that bullshit to not only turn out one of the best comic book movies of all time, but a solid action thriller in its own right with an amalgam of nods to multiple comics (like the tank-like Batmobile from DKR).

Iron Man is just 2 hours of Downey ad-libbing lines with a half-assed political commentary buried by some atrocious fucking dialog. Was I the only one who didn't forget that cellmate of Stark's in the origin story of the film? "You left me to kill people for 10 minutes, yet I still have enough will to cheer you on with my dying breath, and reveal that the family I mentioned previously didn't actually exist, nullifying my pitiful role in this shitheap".

Let's not forget Jon Favreau's experience with film before! Wait, what's that? He directed ZATHURA?! Well wait, what about...OH NO! HE DIRECTED FUCKING ELF! SURELY he's better than the fucking directors who made MEMENTO and EVIL DEAD!? NO, HE ISN'T, go suck a row of six dicks, you fucking scrubs.

I personally just like the upbeat Tony Stark character and the technological aspects of Stark Industries (more so than Wayne Industries). Iron Man as a Super Hero is more interesting to me too. It doesn't mean I don't like Batman though, I just rate Iron Man higher.

I don't see what his previous directing experience has to do with anything. And if we're going that way, you mean the director of Zathura is worse than the director of the horrible Insomnia remake??? You mean the director of Elf is worse than the director of For the Love of the Game?

I really liked 3, I never understood why people thought it sucked. People know what Raimi is about. With ever Spidey film he made it cheesier and cheesier until Spider-Man 3, which is so campy it makes Army of Darkness blush. It's not like Raimi can do anything else.
