Sabretooth Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I thought it was a great movie, but sort of underwhelming. Definitely worth a second and maybe a third watch, but I was expecting a deeper storyline and lots more action. But am definitely excited for the 2010 sequel. I agree with Commander, though - not as good as the new Batman franchise. The story felt pretty shallow and I didn't notice any of the deep, middle-age problems Stark was supposed to be facing. The climax also resembled a Transformers fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDoe 2.0 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The trailers I've seen show good special effects and acting, along with the reviews the movie is getting, I think I won't wait until it comes out on DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I didn't know it was that much of a spoiler. Hell, it's a superhero movie and sequel, for chrissakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Down Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 You guys already watched it? Damn, I'm way behind schedule. I'll probably watch it.. Soon.. Whenever I get some money Btw, anyone else excited about that new Hulk movie? (HULK SMASH! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That should be 'Iudicia', Astro. capie cum concilium, vir! The film is good - go see it, ye children of the SWK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Though they messed far too much with the third one, the two first were pretty good. I still reckon Spider-Man 2 as the better movie adaptation for a Marvel hero. X-Men 2 pwns all, and I hate, hate, hate Bryan Singer for ruining not one but two franchises, by giving X3 to Brett f***ing Ratner and by making an abysmal Superman movie only made tolerable by Kevin Spacey's usual awesomeness... Iron Man looks pure pwnage, I wish I could go and see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I probably won't be able to see it at the movies, but I am pretty sure that once it comes out on DVD, I will get it. Looks like a pretty good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I saw it again the other night. But the projector ****ed up and I missed the climax for the second time. Yeah, the first time I fell asleep since it was like 3:30 in the morning since we had a screening at work after everybody left. Just gotta see that one part.

Arcesious Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Oh... bad news... I guess I won't be seeing Ironman... My friends are 'too busy' doing other things... How long until it comes out on DVD/rent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 How long until it comes out on DVD/rent? Since it was released like not even a week ago and it's doing fairly well and will probably continue to. Probably not till around the time The Force Unleashed comes out in September, I'd say.

Char Ell Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 A very enjoyable movie. Robert Downey Jr.'s performance was quite excellent. I also liked the tension/interaction between Paltrow and RDJ. Thanks to those who advised to hang around till the end of the credits. Besides the two people I went to see the movie with there were only two other people who stayed through the end of the credits at the show I attended. More SLJ on the way.

Totenkopf Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well, finally saw Ironman today. Cool flick. One of the nice things about seeing a movie this far into its run is that there are few people to distract you with unnecessary noises. I think there were 4 or 5 others in the theatre for that showing. sweet! Didn't read all these comments, but figured there'd be an end piece after the credits finished. Forgot about SLJ as Nick Fury.

Nothing like someone wearing a tight red shirt with a cape that shouldn't (Hmmm, think he had a cape...although Ironman doesn't have a cape so I could be mistaken, although picturing him with a cape is pretty funny). Reminded me of something you would see in a movie about a nut house. Hehe, that was one of the funniest things for me. Forgot about SLJ as Nick Fury. Was a nice treat. And if I recall correctly a few other movies in the near future will have a similar type ending leading to the Avengers movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I recall correctly a few other movies in the near future will have a similar type ending leading to the Avengers movie. Well, my brother told me I should have seen the Hulk AFTER Ironman. Puts a little twist on my original understanding of the end of HULK. Yeah, he mentioned the Avengers film and follows this stuff much more closely than I would. Guess this just leaves Batman and Clones for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
