[Caps]

Can't wait. I love that they didn't just say to hell with it and cgi the entire thing.

[Stitches]

Yea, this movie looks ****ing awesome.

[Bruzer]

I can't wait for this movie my third most anticipated behind The Dark Knight (numero uno) and then x-files 2 with iron man right there. I think this willl be one of the best comic book movies easilly. Should compete with the likes of spiderman very well.

Well its gonna be tough to beat the last Batman and the second X-men movie... I sincerely doubt Iron Man will do that. Though I am sure it will be a fine lesser superhero movie (he is a lesser super hero...)

[Ultra]

awesome, this is the first comic book movie I'm actually hyped about.

[Silverphin]

Not nowadays, my friend.

[NJFINSFAN1]

Was my favorite comic!

[Pagan]

I'm pretty psyched for this movie. :D

And kudos to the producers for using the Sabbath song! Would have been a crime not to! :lol:

[quelonio]

Not nowadays, my friend.

Well now you could argue he is a villain... so...

[Bruzer]

Well its gonna be tough to beat the last Batman and the second X-men movie... I sincerely doubt Iron Man will do that. Though I am sure it will be a fine lesser superhero movie (he is a lesser super hero...)

I never said it would beat batman, I loved batman its one of my all time favorites thats for sure. X-Men was good as well, same with spider man but what I am saying it will be one of the finer comic movies.

WT???? Freaking Leader of the Avengers is a lesser hero? I think you need to read Civil War, and fast. :) And while you do that, go back and get some older books and see how IronMan is not a lesser hero.

[ChrisKo]

I never said it would beat batman, I loved batman its one of my all time favorites thats for sure. X-Men was good as well, same with spider man but what I am saying it will be one of the finer comic movies.

I hated the cinematography for the action sequences in "Batman Begins" as they were way too dark and too much shaky cam. The did a good job with the story and the acting was excellent, but the cinematography choices left me wanting more. And don't get me started on that horrible monstrosity that is the bat-mobile, YUCK!

[ILPhinFan88]

Is Jackson's Fury In Iron Man?

Iron Man director Jon Favreau would neither confirm nor deny the persistent rumors that the upcoming superhero film will include a cameo appearance by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, agent of the top-secret S.H.I.E.L.D., a wink at a possible Avengers movie to come.

Recent critics' screenings of Iron Man did not include a Nick Fury sequence, though other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents do appear in the movie. But there's a growing buzz that the scene will appear after the end credits of the prints that will screen in movie theaters once the film opens.

Favreau won't say. "It's hard to keep secrets on these movies," Favreau said in an interview in New York last week. "People are trying to put together the pieces, if Sam is in there, if Hilary Swank is in there. ... I don't want to say anything. I'll leave it at that."

Jackson supposedly shot scenes as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for both Iron Man and for The Incredible Hulk, another Marvel Comics-based feature, with the idea being to set the stage for a crossover Avengers movie. (Oscar winner Swank is rumored to play another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.) And it's been confirmed that Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. filmed a cameo as Tony Stark that may--or may not--turn up in Hulk. (Attendees at the recent New York Comic Con previewed the footage.)

[DrAstroZoom]

I'm going to see it Friday afternoon. :woot:

[Bruzer]

hehe each to thier own. I have seen the movie countless times and I never tire of it :P

[HULKFish]

AWESOME, takin' my daughter and nephew to see it tomorrow!

I'll go The Incredible HULK, Iron Man and The Dark Knight for this summer. With Indiana Jones close behind!

[DOLFANMIKE]

I've been very excited about taking the family to see Iron Man. Too bad they didnt have these kind of quality films when we were kids huh!

[ILPhinFan88]

Entertainment Tonight attended the Iron Man premiere and got a chance to speak to Viacom and CBS Executive Chairman Sumner Redstone and Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey who said that if the movie does as well as expected, the studio will be looking to release the sequel in 2010.

What's interesting is that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has already "claimed" the first weekend of the summer that year (May 7, 2010), but if you look at the calendar, Iron Man 2 could easily open on April 30, which is a Friday, essentially giving it almost a similar release date as the first film.

Oh! And while press screenings did not have a certain scene after the credits, when Iron Man is released in theaters tonight, it IS expected to have it... so, be sure to stay after the credits!


http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=44573

[HULKFish]

sounds good to me! I LOVE the development of everything... From the interviews I've read it sounds as though Jon Favreau is not only interested in directing the Avengers but also pitched an idea at MARVEL!!! I think MARVEL wants to release Captain America, Ant man and Thor first though...

Yeah, when we were kids this stuff was but a dream... Now a reality we can share with our kids!

Its in there after the credits. My question is whos in the other suit catching that car in the 2nd pic when ironman is standing next to him?

[Ludacris]

I saw it last night...very good movie.
Very funny too....it had a few jokes in there that will make you laugh.
The visual effects were nice - kinda looked transformerish, story/plot was interesting, better movie than i expected, Downey jnr is very good in it and plays it so well....

[Brown42000]

Iron Man has received a 96% rating on RottenTomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/iron_man/) and right now is the best rated movie of the year. Plan on going to see it tomorrow.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but if it's an all-grey suit, then it's probably War Machine. In the comics, Rhodes uses that suit.

[GridIronKing34]

It was amazing... all I really have to say.

[Jt0323]

wow this movie blows all other comic movies out the water, Hands down my favorite comic movie, other than Batman! Great story, and i liked how they developed Downy's transformation into Iron Man. The scene at the end leads to an interesting idea

[Ludacris]

"No i'm kidding, throw it up."
hahaha dude, you gotta watch the whole movie..it's like that the whole way through. Robert Downey Jnr is just great in this, he plays his brash smooth character to a T.

[HULKFish]

DANG... You guys are killing me, going TONIGHT!!! VERY EXCITED to see it...

[Brown42000]

Great movie 5/5 everyone should go see this movie.

Stay until the credits end as well there is another scene which hints to another possible movie.

[charlestonphan]

thanks for the reviews fellas... going to see it sunday night or monday i believe.

[SCall13]

This movie was awesome. Better than any comic -made- movie I've seen. Go see it the first chance you get.

[DrAstroZoom]

2 hours and 28 minutes until I see it!

[calfishman]

Thanks for the reviews, I'm going to see it tonight.

[finfansince72]

Just saw it, definitely worth seeing. Great movie. Cast was great, effects were awesome, good story. Really looking forward to Dark Knight after the preview, whew.

[DonShula84]

Movie was good, cast was great across the board. Really looking forward to seeing Dark Knight after the trailer. I love RDJ, glad to see him in a movie like this so more people can appreciate his work.

[finattic79]

Saw it last night, was a great movie. Prolly best script of any comic book movie. Downey was perfect to play Starke. Going to see it again with my son tomorrow. First time since I can remeber going back to see a movie twice.

[finfansince72]

Downey Jr. was really good in this movie. Perfect for the role. I don't know how many people are into the comics but I grew up on them and he was perfect as Tony Stark. Bridges was really good as well.

[DrAstroZoom]

Great casting, great script, great movie.

[Finrunner]

Iron Man was truly superb. When I first heard that RDJ was being cast as Stark, I was skeptical - much like TM as PP in Spider-Man. But man, Robert nailed the role just like Tobey did.

I did have an "Oh No!" moment as a dad, though. I took my sons, who are 9 and 7. If this is a minor spoiler, I apogize and just ignore the rest of this post and move on down *** but early in the film when Stark propositions the gorgeous news lady and then next thing you know she's straddling him in the sack, my youngest son busted out, "Dad, what are they doing???" real loud. Everybody around us burst out laughing. Embarrassed, I just mumbled, "They're kissing. Shut your eyes!"

Er, yeah, great, great movie. And excellent cast and story.

[DonShula84]

"Iron Man" was pure gold at the box office.

The Marvel Comics adaptation, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the guy in the metal suit, hauled in $100.7 million during its opening weekend and $104.2 million since debuting Thursday night, the second-best premiere ever for a nonsequel, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The film also scored overseas with $96.7 million in 57 countries where it began opening Wednesday, putting its worldwide total at $201 million.

[Rick 1966]

I saw it today...freaking awesome flick!
One of the best superhero flicks I've seen!

[Vengeful Odin]

Got back from the movie theater a few hours ago after taking in a Sunday Matinee ... Great, great film. Easily the best of the recent Marvel films, this one is a homerun. There was enough of the comic-book geek stuff to keep me happy, but it also wasn't like you had to read every one of the Iron Man comics, either. Good stuff, Favreau really did wonders with this one.

[Regan21286]

A very good film. Downey's got the role down to a T.

[Vengeful Odin]

Every good film. Downey's got the role down to a T.

Downey Jr.: So how do I play this Tony Stark character?

Favreau: Be yourself

:up:

[quelonio]

I haven't seen the movie yet, but if it's an all-grey suit, then it's probably War Machine. In the comics, Rhodes uses that suit.

yup it is that exact situation.

[quelonio]

Movie was good, cast was great across the board. Really looking forward to seeing Dark Knight after the trailer. I love RDJ, glad to see him in a movie like this so more people can appreciate his work.

Also Gwyneth was looking good... I havent seen her look good since... well I had never seen her look this good.

[Regan21286]

Loved the little clip after the end credits. It's a shame everyone else left in the theater.

Also Gwyneth was looking good... I havent seen her look good since... well I had never seen her look this good.

I agree. She looked almost 10 years younger.

[DevilFin13]

Really good movie. Great way to fill the void until Dark Knight.

[HULKFish]

Dark Knight heck... June 13th is THEE day!!! The Incredible HULK!

Everybody needs to get beyond the first dud (HULK 2003), this movie is gonna be MUCH better!

IRON MAN was maybe my favorite comic movie so far...

[Dol-Fan Dupree]

#1 the movie is freaking awesome. I read comic books and honestly Ironman is one of my least favorite. I just never liked the character. Still, the movie is awesome.

#2 about 3 minutes ago I went on youtube and saw the scene after the credits. I still have chills running up and down my spine. That is too awesome.

I am actually proud of Marvel right now. I know it is silly. It is just the company has taken it on their own to make movies that actually represent their vision for the characters instead of some other guys like Elektra.

Same here but with all these rave reviews by fans I may have to go see it this week.

I didn't mind the first one. I'm just skeptical because I'm not sure where they are trying to go with the character. Is the new one picking up where the first one left off or is it just ignoring the first one?

It is going to sort of pick up where the first one left off in that Banner is already the Hulk and is on the run in South America (this is what I read, forgive me if the details have changed since then) but the actors are different as is the director, and it's going to be a new direction in the sense that the focus will be on action rather than introspection.

[Dol-Fan Dupree]

They are completely discounting the first one like it never existed.

[Rick 1966]

They are completely discounting the first one like it never existed.

Actually, the director has said that is exactly what he does NOT want to do, out of respect for Ang Lee.

[Dol-Fan Dupree]

Actually, the director has said that is exactly what he does NOT want to do, out of respect for Ang Lee.

The producers and funders of the movie have said otherwise.

[His'nBeatYour'n]

Saw this Saturday with my brother and nephew. Saw it again Tuesday with the fiancee, knew she'd love it too. Easily the best cast to ever be in a comic book movie. Robert Downey Junior, Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, and Jeff Bridges, all give great performances, elevating every scene that didn't include CGI to be just as thrilling.

I'm a weird comic book fan, I own like 20 scattered Batman's from the 70's and 80's and a Year One. So I don't really follow them, and never really did. But I still love comic books, love the iconic images of all the heroes that I never read a page of. And I hate when they screw them up in translating them to the screen. When they kill the Arch Nemesis in the first movie, it just ruins it for me. See Batman (1989)

It is really such a relief to finally see Hollywood figure out how to make comic book movies feel like comic book movies. And with the way this movie was setting things up that hint at a larger universe. SHIELD, Fury, etc.. With Marvel producing this themselves they are investing in a story that they hope will become a series, rather than a Hollywood studio caring just about one blockbuster at a time.

[Pagan]

Saw it last night...absolutely ROCKED.

[Silverphin]

Iron Man exceed my expectations. Loved the scene after the credits.

What scene after the credits????

[DonShula84]

You should have read this thread before seeing the movie apparently...

What you missed was Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury talking to Stark about the Avengers.

Ummmm...Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury? Forgive me for asking but isn't that like Michael Clark Duncan as the Kingpin?

[DonShula84]

Ummmm...Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury? Forgive me for asking but isn't that like Michael Clark Duncan as the Kingpin?

We'll, he's "ultimate" Nick Fury, which they based on SLJ apparently.

[DrAstroZoom]

Ummmm...Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury? Forgive me for asking but isn't that like Michael Clark Duncan as the Kingpin?

No, because he is playing Ultimate Nick Fury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Nick_Fury), a character that was patterned after Jackson with is express permission.

[Pagan]

Ah...that clears things up then! :lol:

[ILPhinFan88]

Is Captain America’s shield in Iron Man? /Film readers say yes, even though no screen-cap has yet been found. But, viewers swear the shield is there on Tony Stark’s work-table when Pepper finds him getting out of the banged up Iron Man suit.

[DrAstroZoom]

You know, I think that subliminally registered for me.

[Desides]

Just saw the film. Loved it. Thought it needed a little more action, but big deal. Samuel L. Fury was great too. It's going to be a loooong wait for Iron Man 2...

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the shield on that table.

[DonShula84]

I dont see a shield either. I think people might be seeing what they want to see in that pic...

[In_Flames]

I dont see a shield either. I think people might be seeing what they want to see in that pic...

Really you can't? It's laying right beside Thor's hammer (Mjolnir). :shifty:




jk, I see nothing... :tongue2:

[Desides]

Really you can't? It's laying right beside Thor's hammer (Mjolnir). :shifty:


Post of the day right there. :lol:

That actually gives me an idea. Ultimate Thor's old hammer was technology-based, before he got the "real" Mjolnir later on. I wonder if Stark Enterprises will build a techno-hammer for Thor at some point in the Thor movie.

I can see it, but I also think Wanny was a good coach.

[vmarcilfan75]

haha
see to me that object looks see through or clear. Was his shield clear?
unless its still in the working stage. Obviously the colors are there.

[DOLFANMIKE]

I see the star (White) in the blue circle, then red and apprently white stripes in a circle (shield pattern). Clear as a bell to me in that picture. But then again I do have super magnified vision that see's through woman's clothing.

[ILPhinFan88]

Finally got to see it tonight, like everyone else said Awesome movie.

Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't have anything worth looking at anyway. :up:

[vmarcilfan75]

after watching it again last night that DEFINATELY 100% is Capts Shield. Its not complete obviously and those are 3 points of the Star
its so much clearer on the big screen.

[Pagan]

Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't have anything worth looking at anyway. :up:
I beg to differ...she's adorable.

[finfansince72]

I beg to differ...she's adorable.

She looked great in this film.

[Desides]

I beg to differ...she's adorable.

She looked good in the movie, but she's still too skinny for my taste.

[NJFINSFAN1]

I finally saw the movie! I thought it was well done.

And Paltrow was hot, but I think I liked the reporter better.

[DevilFin13]

Iron Man...? Iron Man....?

Oh yeah. He's that superhero that isn't as badass as Batman. :up:

Usually I don't care for Paltrow but she looked pretty good in the movie.

[fins4o8]

watch the Bluray version if you can. so much better! I would do both paltrow and that reporter.

[finswin56]

I finally saw the movie! I thought it was well done.

Meh, I thought his alter-ego's personality was better than Brucie's puppy dog love for the chick who looked like a middle aged librarian.

We can't blame Batman for Tom Cruise screwing with Katie Holmes' head. Did you see her awesome nipplage in Batman Begins? You can't blame a guy for loving those puppies.

[Regan21286]

We can't blame Batman for Tom Cruise screwing with Katie Holmes' head. Did you see her awesome nipplage in Batman Begins? You can't blame a guy for loving those puppies.

lol, someone needs to rescue Katie Holmes from Tom Cruise's dungeon. I just hope Nolan actually casts someone worth lookin at in the next Batman movie.
