Ironman

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

i don't know about this movie. the lame humour in the commercials seems like more then enough to make me not want to see this movie.

I can see the beginning being really boring, and ending with a couple of cool battles, with an overall okay story line

[QuantumTrickery]

I really don't want to spoil much here, so i'll keep it brief.

Good action, some witty funny dialogue, and was a good take on that which is Ironman.

Overall, I'd give it about a 7/10, maybe pushing an 8/10 for my love of all things Ironman.

Everyone I've talked to who has seen it said it was great and RDJ played Stark amazingly. A few comic junkies even said he played the role better than that in the comics. Now I'm sure there will be more to disagree but I think he plays the role great. I'm really looking forward to it. Going to go check it out opening night, err tomorrow. I doubt it will be as good as Dark Knight, but I'm not looking for the same kinda movie, I want something funny and with explosions :)

From the Ending...as always stay for the credits and if you didn't...

From what I understand there is about a 40 second clip that follow the end credits of Iron Man featuring Sam Jackson as Nick Fury in a pow-wow with Tony Stark. The sequence was not attached to advance screenings so it has not been seen just yet and will be shown only when the film releases, starting tonight at 8 PM in select cities.

Just got back from a prescreening *if you can call it that* of IronMan my local theater had at 8pm tonight and i have to say the movie is AMAZING and i hope that you all go out to see it.

Also check out after the credits

After the credits the is a lead in for the AVENGERS

Welcome to the other thread....theres already a thread about Ironman

[D!ABOL!C]

This movie is a definite must see. From seeing the trailers, it was mandatory to go see it. Lots of explosions and lots of humorous stuff. Gywneth Paltrow looked great too.

When that agent identified himself as SHIELD all I could think was Nick Fury. Make sure you stay past the credits. Tony gets to meet the head of SHIELD

I'm looking forward to this movie. I don't usually go for these kinds of movies but this one just seems a bit different. Almost seems aimed a bit more at adults than kids/teenagers. Plus great cast.

I know I'll be doing this weekend. I mean more than just satifying myself again. I mean protecting myself from prostrate cancer.

[Huleboeren]

That fight between the two Ironmans reminded me so much of Transformers :p

[kazuyette]

Watched it last night and as all of you out here, I was BLOWN away when I saw the Mark2 Armor coming to life . Another amazing job done by ILM ( dammit them again ! :) ). This movie was fun, with some decent acting ( I love the portraying of Stark. Downey is the perfect match for the character ), some HOT action .

Go see it and enjoy the ride .

[Firstshot]

Watched it twice...and missed the clip after end credits. =P

Anyways this was an amazing movie! Definitely worth the watch!

*I really want the circle thing he has...lol*

Now, this all depends on Iron Man being a success at the box office, but a sequel could be coming in 2010. Since we can see absolutely no reason why this very enjoyable movie would fail to make a hefty profit, we should all start marking some space in our diaries for two years from now.

Brad Grey, Big Chief Superman of Paramount, told US showbiz series Entertainment Tonight that if all goes as hoped with the first movie, that a second will come out in the same week in 2010.

The news of a sequel is extremely welcome. Iron Man is a great build to what should be an amazing sequel, with a well-drawn cast of characters established and potential for some massive action. Our only ask is that they make sure to have a good story in place. It would be an enormous shame to have done such great ground work on the opening of the franchise to then slip-up on the second by rushing it into production. But we have faith in everyone involved in Iron Man, since they all seem to have genuine love for and belief in Ol' Metal Head.

Be sure to stay in the ending for this...

Tony Stark walks into the room.

A man is standing by the window...

He is like "You are NOT the only Super Hero" or "You think you are the ONLY Super Hero out there?"

Tony Stark "Who the hell are you"

They show his face (in case the voice isn't already familiar to you, but it is to me) and it's Samuel L Jackson with an Eye-patch, LOL :D

He responded something like "I am Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.Ds... We would love you to join the Avengers program.."

Something like that, might be off some.

[GuJu]

Not to bad as I expected it to be

Never read iron man so I was new to the whole story

I didnt like how this movie and amost all other movies go to a modern day Iraq or afganistan

wonder how the movie business or better yet the world would be if it didnt hapen back to the topic I give it 6/10

[devnulllore]

Best superhero film made to date! and as it's been mentioned wait through ALL the credits to see a hint on one of the next comic book films. CAN'T Wait!!!!

BTW, Where the hell is the Green Lanter we've been hearing about? They had a script contest and everything about 4 years ago.

[Hupp]

the ending was weak and a bit rushed but i expected that from the first movie. Other than that i thought it was and awesome movie and RDJ owned the role. I will forever hear his voice when i think about tony stark

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Loved the first half of the movie, thought it was extremely well made.

The second half not so much, played out like a pretty standard Hollywood blockbuster.

Damsel in distress, chains hanging from the ceiling, and that converter blowing up looked like it was from the original Ghostbusters to me. Just felt the second half was rushed for lack of a better term.

Overall I loved it, I did, just could have done without the whole showdown, and would have much preferred they kept the focus on the war torn countries.

Iron Man has proved its mettle and exceeded box office expectations by taking an estimated $101m (?51m) in its opening weekend in the US and Canada.

If the figures are confirmed, the comic book adaptation will become one of only 10 films to have broken the $100m barrier in its first three days.

Iron Man stars Robert Downey Jr as the comic book hero, with Gwyneth Paltrow playing his personal assistant.

It had been expected to take $70m-$80m (?35m-?40m) between Friday and Sunday.

Downey Jr plays a billionaire industrialist who invents a high-tech suit of armour that transforms him into a superhero.

1. Spider-Man 3 - $151m

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - $136m

3. Shrek the Third - $122m

4. Spider-Man - $115m

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - $115m

6. Star Wars: Episode III - $108m

7. Shrek 2 - $108m

8. X-Men: The Last Stand - $103m

9. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - $103m

10. Iron Man - $101m

boring a too long. If we want robots we already have transformers, terminator, robocop (this movie looks more like robocop 2 in some parts) and a long etc.

Best Comic book film since Spiderman 1 & 2

This is true to the story.... it's as I would expect Ironman to be.

I loved it. I love how they show you his development and testing of the armor............ a real gadget guys film :) I wanted to see part 2 right there.... lol love the fight scenes....CGI is really amazing these days....looks so real.

[.Kompressor]

In an article at Military.com talking about Terrence Howard's character Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes in Iron Man, the actor revealed that he will begin filming for Iron Man 2 in March of 2009.

The sequel has already been scheduled for a release on April 30, 2010. Jon Favreau is expected to direct again, with Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow returning as well.

You won't have to wait that long to see Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark back on the big screen, however. Just catch The Incredible Hulk this Friday for a cool cameo.

In related news, ComingSoon.net reports that Iron Man added $7.5 million domestically and $4.8 million internationally this weekend to bring its worldwide total to a massive $538 million.
