Iron Man is awesome

I liekd Fantastic 4 beter cuz it Jessica Alba she is really hawt n' stuff and the effect were more l77t to I think all in all Iron Man needed more wemenz.












fo real though Iron Man was a good movie.
 
I liked the movie, but I also thought it was INCREDIBLY corny in many parts.
 
Haven't seen it. It has gotten good reviews, though, so I might've seen it if the cinema wasn't so damn expensive (currently US$17).

It's better than Indiana Jones 4, I can tell you that much...
 
I was actualy almost disappointed. Not quite, but almost. I guess Sedako's right, though...
 
*waits for inevitable person to come in and say how horrible it was*

Anyways, I really liked it. I was worried at first whether it would turn out good.
RDJr did a great job at it (Now who can play the best drunken millionaire? :D)
Mostly, it was fun and entertaining.
 
Was really entertaining, and corny in all the right ways.
 
Twas great. I haven't heard one person tear it apart, too bad Pesh is banned this week.


Btw, I just found out Stark and Fury will be in the Hulk movie :)
 
Fury's in it too? I'll probably end up seeing it. I'm cautiously optimistic about the new Hulk.
 
Iron Man SUCKED.

My girlfriend and I walked out of the movie during the final fight scene. It was awful.

The entire movie was wrought with cliche, poor writing, retarded lines, stupid acting, worse direction, dull, entirely predictable plot, impossibly stupid technologies, stupid love understory, awful technological handwaving, cardboard charachters, false sense of patriotism (yes, let's not kill that F-22 guy, and the only reason the weapons are evil is because we're giving them to them evil terrorists, especially that evil bald terrorist, not because we're using them on the local populace), need I mention more?

The final fight scene was so stupid I nearly died laughing at the absurdity of the thing. The voice acting of the old guy in the suit was just so contrite and corny it completely ruined his character. The scene with the SUV was quite possibly the dumbest scene I have ever seen in movie history. "It's collateral damage!" Yes, jackass, that soccer mom is your best weapon choice, considering you have chain guns, missiles, and a big ****ing mech suit. Yes, Iron Man, saving that car is important, considering you've just blown up half the ****ing city and are going to blow up even more of it when you blow up the magic "arc reactor". But no, ignore all of that and save the ****ing soccer mom.

Girlfriend X loved to walk around and look pretty with a bluetooth phone in her ear. Otherwise, her role was worthless and could have been cut. Iron Man loves to change his personality every two seconds, and his motivations change from "let's kill everyone!" to "let's kill everyone but make it look like I'm being a good guy!" to "holy hell I love being famous!" With no real transitions or character growth, and no good motivations.

Iron Man goes on exactly one "mission" and then fights the final boss. He's hardly a superhero. He's more like a douchebag who sits around and builds impossible machines with ridiculously stupid technologies and then goes out on one killing spree to kill Iraqis and evil bald terrorists. (Just in time to save that *sob* poor boy's father! Yes, these terrorists are evil because they love to beat children and shoot their parents, ahrg! No, don't mention the socio-economic problems wrought by the American occupation, or the fact that insurgents are usually fighting Americans, not taking their weapons and taking over random villages to "control all Asia".)

I don't know. Maybe everyone's blinded by the fancy explosions and the fact that the superhero was mildly sarcastic and witty, but this movie was a piece of utter shit when it came to film making. It was worse than Lady In the Water. It was that bad.

Wow, you just might be the only person in the world that thought it sucked that bad.
 
This was the best comic-book movie I'd seen in a while. At least from Marvel. Excluding the X-men which I watched again recently. It was a brilliant movie, and certainly made my weekend.

So, I take it you've never read an Iron Man comic in your entire life? Because this is an accurate description of Tony Stark.

Tony Stark is a grade A asshole who does nothing but build suits, suits, and more suits for every possible problem he has because that's the only way he thinks he can deal with them. Even the Hulk (when he had a measure of Bruce Banner's intelligence) told him that all he does is think in zero-sum games and builds these armors so he can look for fights where there aren't any, or where a more diplomatic solution would suffice.

And then later, y'know, Hulk's minding his own business and Iron Man shoots him into space to die. For no reason. He IS a douche, that's his character. It's funny that that's one of your complaints considering how accurate to the comics it is. I mean, between building Iron Man armors, Stark's likely to be spending his time:

A. Getting drunk (usually IN his armor, flying around and smashing into things shitfaced)
B. Being the typical billionaire playboy
C. Ruining somebody's life
D. All of the above at the same time

So I thought the movie was great, simply because it was accurate to the comics. It was a really good movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the fact that I actually hate Tony Stark.

Rhodes, though...next movie.

2 reasons for me to love Tony even more then

Especially the shooting Hulk into space part. Hard core.:laugh:
 
Good except for the one big flaw:
"I am Iron Man"
I think that kinda sucked.

But you see, that isn't his character in the movie. Stark in the movie goes from being awesome before he is blown up by the stupidly tiny bomb and goes to generic terrorist cave A, to "having a heart". He gains a monogamous love interest, discovers the importance of good friends, and learns to do things for the good of all. The movie was as predictable and dull as any superhero movie. Sure, he was a cool character to begin with, but the hollywood writers pulled out their "how to make a top-grossing mediocre movie" textbooks and tried to graft the standard bildungsroman mold onto Stark's skin.

Everything about the movie reeks of the standard Marvel mantra: take something that worked reasonably well in comics, and completely trash it by attempting to make it fit the same tired hollywood formula. Yes, Stark seemed to be a new, sarcastic hero, but he had all the same qualities as all of the other corny and dull superheroes of Marvel movies. The girl waiting for him, the mentor who turns evil, the struggle between his own morality and his own wants, etc. etc. etc.

Except this movie was made much, much, MUCH worse by their attempt to fit Stark's Byronic Hero image into the standard mold, and also ruining the premise of his superhero ability by over-doing the technological special effects until they were nothing short of magic.

I'd prefer it if you didn't include the X-Men in that list. They were awesome films, especially compared to most of the other Marvel films. Here, have Fantastic Four instead!

Good call. I think I was struggling to think of any more superhero films actually, haha. Yeah, I quite enjoyed them now that I think about it.
 
Well, Hellboy was good in my opinion.
Add Catwoman to the list of crappy movies, also Daredevil.
 
There was a Catwoman movie? Wasn't aware, but yeah, Daredevil, too. Iron Man really does stand above quite alot now. :laugh:

Hellboy was quite good, yeah.
