TimC Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Cool popcorn summer movie. I don't want to spoil anything, but do want to get people's opinions of the ending when he admits he is Ironman. I thought it was cool. Main part I hated was the Cramer yelling part about the stock and the bad guy having complete control of his suit after showing Ironman taking so long to adjust to his. .

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I was thinking about ditching work and going to see it this afternoon...... May have to do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 is it in any way comparable to Batman Begins with the way they built the storyline?... and of course the storyline wouldn't be similar...but rather, in the way they built up the character?...

The story is fascinating and definitely above par. Much better written than your average summer blockbuster here lately. And I don't think they could've cast better than Robert Downey. He's the perfect mix of confidence and smugness for this role. Edited May 2, 2008 by TimC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 This is one of the few summer blockbusters that I actually want to see. Iron Man is probably one of the most interesting of all the comic characters, and Robert Downey Jr. usually plays a damn good character. Would a 7 month pregnant woman like this movie an hour past her bedtime? That's the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 great flick. downey makes it. as timc states, i wasn't all that hot on the ending, but everything prior was top notch and just fun to sit back and watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Would a 7 month pregnant woman like this movie an hour past her bedtime? That's the question. And the answer should be "she damn well better if she knows what's good for her." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 by the way, stay through the end of the credits. there is a bonus scene which sets up some interesting sequel possibilities ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 by the way, stay through the end of the credits. there is a bonus scene which sets up some interesting sequel possibilities ... Well the line that Rhodes says sets up the sequel, the bonus scene at the end sets up different movie plots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 A very very entertaining movie and probably one of the top 5 comic book movies ever. It left me wanting more and I had goose bumps the first time Tony Stark flies into Afganastan with the Iron Man suit. Faithful to the source material. Spot on acting by Downey. Tonally near-perfect directing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed Batman Begins, but I felt that the pacing of this movie was actually better than Batman Begins. The tone is a bit lighter, but the movie as a whole isn't quite as realistic as Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Seriously? My official review is Meh. I didn't dislike it but I didn't get the neato factor. Maybe it's a guy thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skilly Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Another thumbs up for Ironman. I really enjoyed it, and RDJ absolutely NAILED the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDFFFreak Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) let alone TDK after Ledgers death... Non-holiday weekend for The Dark Knight. I'd be shocked if it topped what Indy does opening weekend (assuming the reviews comie in decent). It should be on par with Iron Man, but I suspect not too much better, deceased Ledger or not.
