(movie) Iron Man Revealed! - Page 2

FrogMan · 05-03-2008, 09:13 PM

just got back from watching it and wow, that was fun! Simply an awesome movie. I wanted to scream to people to stay and watch the dang credits, but they all kept going out until only mayb 7 or 8 persons were left. Special scene came, cool.

A lady behind us, obviously there because her husband said they were staying, simply said something like "that's all?" to which I could only reply "yup, that's all, but that's everything too".

You know, I only started reading comics about a year ago so this movie is in fact the first ever movie I really geeked out. To here that first agent say the long version of S.H.I.E.L.D. the first time and I knew what it meant, I laughed to myself. Never would I have caught it just a year ago.

Well, SHIELD was in the movie as soon as that agent showed up.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. First I thought the sound wave weapon was lethal, but after Stark survived, you now have to assume that the weapon just stuns and does not kill.

It was explained as temporary paralysis...about 15 minutes worth.

Nice. I like the "No gang signs...no, I'm kidding, throw it up."

On another note, the movie made slightly over $100M this weekend. Great job, Favreau!

MikeVic · 05-04-2008, 09:05 PM

Haha sweet.

Swaggs · 05-04-2008, 09:19 PM

Saw this earlier today with my wife.

We both enjoyed it more than we expected.

Also got to see the preview for the new Hulk movie. I like Ed Norton, but I don't see it being much better. The CGI just doesn't work for me.

Neuqua · 05-04-2008, 09:25 PM

I saw this last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. Hopefully the rest of the series is equal in quality.

Raiders Army · 05-05-2008, 06:28 AM

Hmmmm...from what I read, Favreau isn't signed on yet to direct the sequel.

FrogMan · 05-05-2008, 07:07 AM

interesting revelation for the future of Marvel movies:
http://www.businesswire.com/portal/s...56&newsLang=en

in short, release dates for in two years plus:
Iron Man 2, April 30, 2010
Thor, June 4, 2010
The First Avenger: Captain America, May 4, 2011
The Avengers, July 2011

RA, Newsarama seems to confirm that yeah, Favreau "is interested in directing the sequels", but doesn't appear to be signed...

Taken from my earlier Spoiler quote.

Quote:

If anyone's planning on watching The Incredible Hulk, Downey Jr. appears in a cameo in the film. As Iron Man.

Also, Iron Man is apparently meant to be a trilogy by Favreu.

Then, with the upcoming future Marvel releases (2010? 2011?) of Thor and Captain America, they're hoping to tie it all into an Avengers film, hence the Nick Fury referrence at the end of the Iron Man credits.

Essentially, Marvel has made a conscious move to have all their superhero movies exist in the same universe, which is cool.

That's awesome. At least Marvel has their stuff together, unlike DC! Getting Captain America and then the Avengers later that year is going to be great.

Antmeister · 05-05-2008, 11:00 AM

I gotta admit, this has to be the best adaptation of a comic book I have seen. Saw it on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised that it had a better than average storyline. And when we were on the way back from the theatre, I had talked about cross over comic books in which characters could meet and how cool it would be if it happened in movies. Now I find out in this thread that it is gonna happen. Wow!

Although they had made superhero movies off and on over the years, it seems it is becoming it own genre today.

Warhammer · 05-05-2008, 11:15 AM

This was the first super hero movie that actually made me want to go out and read the comic. Great great movie.

DanGarion · 05-05-2008, 11:20 AM

I think it's probably one of the best comic book adaption I've ever seen. I really hope Favreau and everyone can come to an agreement.

FrogMan · 05-05-2008, 12:23 PM

as good a place as any to post this, look at the Iron Man suit this fella did:

I'd say start with Invincible Iron Man, as it's a good starting off point for new fans. It begins in July. Ultimate Iron Man (written by Orson Scott Card) is good as well. The first series is done and the second is finishing up.

That is some really good stuff. My favorite pic is on post #50, though.

Actually, Invincible Iron Man #1 is supposed to ship this Wednesday, May 7.

Very much looking forward to it. Never got to read the current series as I would have had to go back too much.

I love most of the "Ultimate" series.

Ultimate Spiderman and Ultimate XMen were sweet.

Ironhead · 06-15-2008, 11:33 AM

Went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday and they had the Mrk II suit on display in a special exhibit. I snapped a picture before I got yelled at:

vex · 06-15-2008, 12:56 PM

That is wickedly sweet.

sterlingice · 06-15-2008, 05:35 PM

The suit in front of that one is a bit disturbing.

WVUFAN · 06-15-2008, 10:42 PM

I think that's supposed to be from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
