SOUND OFF

I liked Iron Man but didn't love it. I had some real problems with the degree of villainy. As I said in my own review, Obadiah is not The Joker. So I wish it had had more of a payoff I could rally behind. Downey was great, no question about that, but I didn't run out of the theater and get back in line, which is what happened when I saw the first Spidey and the most recent Batman. It's better than most but it's not on the Mount Rushmore of superhero movies.

damn gta 4 taking up all my ironman time.... somebody had to say it

wow...is all i can say, someone finally made a comic book movie that is pretty inline with the comic, iron man, blew away all my expectations, thank you marvel for finally getting it right, ILM, spot on with the graphics, John Favreau fantastic job, and the surprise end...i am now even more excited! I will definately see this again in the theaters and will get it on DVD, i think it was successful on many fronts, funny, emotional, and action packed, i forgot at times that downey wasnt in the suit, phenominal job on the suit and action sequences.

I LOVED IT!!!!! Robert Downey Jr. made the movie for me, his personaility really carried the movie, and made it very easy to watch and have fun with.... way better for me than any of the spiderman movies...but not as good as batman begins.....only problem i had was with mrs. Paltrow...i though she was miss cast and wasted in this film, they could of gotten anyone to play that role...9 outta 10

awesome movie. Great pacing. Almost perfect balance of comedy, action, drama. If the fight against Obadiah had been longer and if War Machine had joined IM against him, it would've put it over the top and sealed the lid as my fave comic book movie of all time. As good as Batman Begins was, not really sure why people say it's such a great benchmark... it had such big flaws it came close to ruining the movie for me.

Damn good movie........ Wish they had a better Vilian oh well sure there will be a 2

What did I think? What did I think?? I think Iron Man owes me a new pair of socks, that's what I think. Because he completely blew mine off my feet last night! The villians could have been better, but the battles with them were pretty nice. I can't say anything that hasn't been said before about the acting and Downey's + cast's performances, so I won't say anything at all. Regarding my theatrical experience, I loved the digital projection with it's razor sharp images and clear sound. But I've had enough of the frat boys talking through the movie, whistling whenever Stark's flirted (or more) with a beautiful woman, essentially acting like 10 year olds with libidos of 20 year olds. I don't think I'm going back to an opening night showing ever again. I'll do my best to dodge the spoilers and try to see the movies on the first Sunday afternoon I can. This was ridiculous.

...and let's not forget the legendary Stan Lee. Like #15, ibo4lyf, pointed out---he has a comically inspired cameo!!

imo its one of the best comic book to movie adaptations seen it yesterday and definetly gonna watch it again.. it tells the story in a good way and its funny as hell too

Okay, someone just compared Obadiah to Joker. You don't do that. Of course Obadiah is now Joker, but Joker is no Obadiah, two separate universes. Obadiah was perfect for Iron Man's new villain. If they do another they have to tap into the Mandarin. And get Rhodes involved.

Oh yea, was the terrorist group calledhe Ten Rings a hint eluding to the Manderin?

I was incredibly impressed. Iron Man is definitely one of the best comic book movies ever, surpassing Transformers and, in my opinion, X-Men and Batman Begins. I'm a little biased--I've always preferred Iron Man and War Machine to the rest of the Marvel universe, save Nightcrawler. The storyline is strong, the acting is incredible. Robert Downey, Jr. is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors for his characters in roles such as Iron Man, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and A Scanner Darkly. Gwyneth Paltrow shines, too, and really should stay a redhead for the remainder of her life (if only I were 10 years older and famous, and she wasn't married with children...). I hardly recognized Jeff Bridges until I heard him speak, and Terrence Howard's reference to the Mk. II suit as War Machine was probably missed by most viewers. Also, I think most viewers missed that Paul Bettany was the voice of Jarvis, who is an AI rather than a butler in the movie. The scarred guy was not shown to be dead. Who could he become, if his role is to be reprised? Also, Leslie Bibb as Christine Everhart is an interesting character, I wonder if she'll become "that annoying reporter" that the hero always has to deal with. I'm not one to drop another $8-$9 to see a movie again, but I think I might on this one.

That was a ridiculously amazing movie. There was an 8:00 pm screening at my theater last night, and when I got out, I bought a ticket to the midnight show as well. Absolutely amazing.

Very awesome. Loved it even though it skimped a bit on the action side (which I think benefited it) but when the action comes boy did it come . The final fight scene could have been somewhat more extraordinary but altogether it was very great and the scene at the end was the icing on the cake. P.S. Was Hilary Swank the one blowing on the dice in the beginning???? I know she had a cameo unless they cut it out.

What a waste of Film and my time. All that anticipation for a real life drunk and drug user to attempt to act. What a disgrace to the iron man name. It was almost as bad as Transformers

How can anyone dislike this movie? Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark. Gwynneth Paltrow is just lovely. You grow to hate Jeff Briges (he's so... treacherous in a shakespeare-like way). Hats off to the director (Go Favreau!), the special effects and mooost of the script. You learn to respect the movie also for some little details: all the clicks and clacks of the iron man suit, the problem with the freeze, and the staggered descent of Iron Man when the power goes almost off. Those where very cool and accurate details!! Bravo!

i have to agree with #2 but at the same time i'll let it slide with this movie, because in retrospect I.M needed a "origin" movie. okay, so Obadiah wasn't the Joker, but Ras Al Ghul (Batman Begins) wasn't the Joker either. the big time villains are best saved for the sequel which there will most likely be one in this case. "next time maybe" gave me chills, i'd love to see some Iron Man/War Machine action in I.M 2, also i don't know if anyone else caught it but the name of the terrorist group was " the Ten Rings" a very clear nod to the "ten rings of the Mandarin" so it leaves a huge opening for the Mandarin to walk in as the villain in Iron Man 2. as for John Favreau and and Robert Downey Jr. i'am eating alot of crow right now, when they were first confirmed as director and star of the film i threw a huge rant. i have to take alot of it back, no one could have pulled it off better than RDJ, he was cool, charming, charismatic and likable, i have to say i enjoyed the film more because of RDJ. i don't know how many of you are comic fans but as a die hard comic collector i have to say it made me sick to my stomach to see that Joe Quesada managed to crowbar his name into the ending credits, he who has gone out of his way to make Tony Stark one of the most hated people in comic book history. to add insult to injury he uncouthly added his name ABOVE those of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby who CREATED Iron man. in closing, i have to say i very much enjoyed it, but it only left me hungry for the Dark Knight, but still a must see for this summer.

it was at best a c. rdj was good not really enough action really and 2 much time on making the 2nd suit and then when he told the press that he was iron man

Without doubt my fav superhero movie! Being a big fan of the rocketeer, this just tickled my fancy and it was just like walking into a modern day version. I love the concepts, the characters how scenes flowed and the direction John took it in... very much a different approach to making a superhero movie. AND I have to say, without Robert Downey, this movie wouldn't have been half as good! The visuals were excellent - kinda puts the hulk 2 to shame... this stuff was so invisible and flowed with the story. GREAT JOB! Oh and the end scene - hmm another movie with Samuel Jackson - Come on! I'm getting a bit fed up with the guy to be honest. P.S. With the news that a new Robocop might get made, the visuals from this should help prove it can be done to a great new visual level. I so want my own helmet!! lol

The movie seriously kicked major ass One of the best this summer

loved it! robert downey jr.-simply the best (i couldnt imagine other actors playing the lead) will go back to see it again? DEFINITELY!

just saw iron man tonight. was a fun movie. good amount of action, not as much as I had anticipated. but it was overall a solid fun movie. now comparing this movie to transformers or michael bay is complete nonsense. Tranformers had WAY more action in it than iron man did, and during the transformers my adrenaline was pumping the whole movie. iron man didnt give that to me. i would have to say the best part was the jet scene. it was fast, lots of action and it was just visually stunning. thats all i can say about it. but transformers, the whole movie was eye candy. not im not boasting that transformers was the best action movie ive ever seen but it has to be hands down the best CGI movie ive ever layed my eyes on. and i love how everyone over here at FS.net is boasting that iron man is just amazing and the best movie of the summer so far, but it wasnt that good, the acting was good, but it just felt a little repetitive. each scene almost felt like i had watched it already. lets just say the movie wasnt all that refreshing. just felt like a typical comic book adaption, with a short, lame villian fight at the end which was horrible btw, was not satisfied with it at all. very disappointed unfortunately considering i was looking forward to this movie and reading the review here on FS.net. for me, it didnt live up to the hype. and why do you hate michael bay so much?? i really want to know. i think his movies are entertaining, and enjoyable to watch, i mean isnt that why we go to the movies??? come on.

The tone of the movie is exactly right on the money. Robert Downey Jr is pretty much the perfect Tony Stark. I don't know a whole hell of a lot about the comic book - I read a lot of comics, but not a lot of superhero stuff - but from what I know, this movie is basically the best sort of comic to movie conversion you could ask for. They don't tell the same story that the comics do, it's all original material with maybe a nod to the comics here and there, but they've gotten the mood and characters right and didn't do too much fan-service crap (which annoys me). The bit at the press conference came as a bit of a shock. I think Stark is 'out of the closet' in the comics now, due to the 'world at war' storyline (is that right?). To have him reveal himself like that at the end of the first movie seems like a really daring thing to do, and it sorta got me jazzed to see how they'd deal with that later on. Also, the fact that there seems to be a new trend of including other comic characters in these things as cameos... makes the whole marvel film universe more interesting. Will they start keeping a continuity between all of them? Maybe the Baxter Building, or the X-Men's mansion will pop up in a future Iron Man or Spiderman movie. Hulk supposedly has an Ironman cameo (possibly more than that...). This is all just really interesting, and it makes you wonder if Marvel doesn't have that sort of larger picture in mind.

I hated it. I'm surprised more people didn't like it. It was super simplistic, people in my audience figured out punchlines before they were spoken, on FIRST VIEWING. But I guess it would have to be to appeal to the largest number of people. I thought it was too long, and there were too many "comic book moments" like the jesus scene in spiderman 2. I cringed at the us military line about not stopping the terrorists because "they were using human shields." I thought the entire concept of a bunch of terrorists acquiring the most sophisticated missile technology and then using it to blow up....nothing...which they ransacked a village with Ak-47s to be so paper thin that even children should think twice. I think movies should have the balls to take a position, this movie took none. The fact is that any superhero needs an equally terrifying supervillian. Its what made the best of the batman, superman, and spider man (1) movies work. The only BELIEVABLE villan to an omnipotent ironman was the most powerful force on this earth - the US Military. But that probably didn't fly which is why the enemy turned out to be evil corporate greed. Listen, I know it was just a popcorn flick, but it just...was insultingly simple. And the CGI wasnt that good, AND the best scenes were in the trailer.

This movie exceeded my expectations.

It was definately fun, and pretty solid, but I don't think it was as good as some people have made it out to be. It's definately not to be compared to Batman Begins, they're completely different. One's gritty and rooted in a sense of realism, the other is over-the-top and outlandish. But, like I said, fun and solid. If you ignore the fact that everything that had to do with technology was near-impossible or incredibly ludicrous, it's a plain old blast.

I can't say enough good about the movie. Every comic book fan should see this movie. Everything with the exception of the last scene everything does the comic book true and I found it an interesting change and probably more believable. It was an awesome way to kick off the summer movie spree and look forward to the sequel or spin off which ever we get.

Really good. Downey made a good Tony Stark . Was not bored at any point. Spiderman caliber I enjoyed it.

I think it was a great movie, been looking forward for something like this, great story, cgi, tho I think it did need a little more action, but it was great thumbs up!

Excellent movie. Right mix of humor and action for an "origin" flick. One of the better ones in recent memory. If Ed Norton can "get into" Bruce Banner like Downey did Tony Stark the Hulk will be awesome. I kinda feel sorry for those who can't get past Robert Downey, Jr's past transgressions and enjoy the movie for the fun ride that it was. They missed a great performance while they were being self-righteously grumpy. Oh well, the rest of us enjoyed a great movie. And to say the movie didn't "take a position"...?? What's that about? I guess realizing that profiteering from death and destruction and deciding to try and have the hero try and undo he's been responsible for isn't enough of a "position". Takes all kinds to make a world, I guess. Anyhow, I can't wait for the DVD then the sequel.

Predictable, boring.

I really liked this movie a lot.. It was action packed, and it had a kick ass story-line.. Robert Downey Jr. really brings the part to life giving IRON MAN excitement and some humorous lines that made me laugh.. He played the part perfectly.. And if they change him in Iron Man 2, I simply will not watch it.. This goes down in my book as a Fav!!!

I saw this movie yesterday and i cant believe how great it was!! Robert Downey Jr. Played a great role.If he isnt iron man in the sequel i will not see it. It was one of the best(personally) movies ive seen from a marvel Comic book. Besides Transformers

I thought it was amazing way to kick off the summer and kick off Iron Man in live action Robert Downey Jr. was the perfect fit for Tony Starks, the whole cast was well done and the action scenes were amazingly done everything fit well together i didn't think Favreau could have pulled of such a great Iron Man due to his last films but he surprised me and im glad he did.

Fantastic! Downey Jr. is now officially my favourite actor. He's got heart, wit, and an amazing bod to boot. After Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and A Scanner Darkly, my antennae were up, but this has sealed the deal. The comic book nerds writing the clunky dialogue for movies like Spiderman III, Transformers, and Batman should have to watch this film over and over, taking notes. This is how it's done!

I have no problem with the entire movie, it lived through my expectation but I think it would have been great if Jon Favreau extended the movie's final battle scene between iron man and the iron monger a little bit longer.

this is by far the most fun you will have at the movies this year so far. it set the bar very high for summer flics. so high i just hope the other films worked out their own "ice problem" and can make this a summer to remember.

Saw it once and saw it again.............I am 53 and I want to be Iron Man this Halloween...

Robert Downey Jr was great, but come on! It had the same ending as Transformers, Robocop and the Hulk! Get original, one bigger bot and/or body taking on another and guess what? our hero wins! geez... the lead up was good, but the climax was far too unoriginal. Batman Begins remains the superhero movie to beat... hopeful The Dark Knight will live up

TOP 5 of this year, hands down!!!! i really liked it i mean i really dont have any thing to critisize.....maybe could have been more fight scenes with the suit on....

I like this movie allot, its an all around great movie! But why did marvel stray from the original story line. Sure it's the same story as the original except the theme and the bad guy are different from what I understand. The Iron Man cartoon movie that came out last year was the way the real story went. There has to be a reason why they took the Mandarin Out of the films story and why it takes place in the middle-east. Hint* I hope marvel didnt get funds for this film from the US government. Or maybe some one high up insisted not to use a Chinese theme for the film right now, considering all these issue's with China recently.

I would just like to say I thought Ironman was one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. It had everything. Action, drama, humour, plot and character development and above all else it had heart. It set it up absolutely perfectly for a part two. To those who didn't like it, obviously you are either a superman or batman fan who is so use to seeing crap up on the screen that you don't know a good movie when you see one.

This was a very good movie. Yes the action could have been more but you can't overaction the first movie. This movie was more about setting the tone for the Iron Man franchise. I did love that they had many cameos for other heroes and villains to leave me wanting more of the movie. I am more of a Batman fan and will honestly say that this movie cannot and will not ever match the Batman franchise (the most recent ones). This movie does rate the same as Transformers in my book. We have to keep in mind that this was one of the best Marvel movies made. A true dissapointment coming from the third Spiderman, both Fantastic Fours, and the last X-men. This has become its own franchise in the making. Waiting for the other movies (Thor, Captain America, Avengers) will be unbelieveable, if they are down right and not half-assed like the Fantastic Fours, and Spiderman-3. Those movies have to have the same caliber as the first Iron Man in order to have any meaning with the comics. Having said all of that, the effects were amazing and looked real. Some of the technologies made me want to throw popcorn at the screen, but when it comes to movies you have to let go of reality and some sort of imagination. CAN'T WAIT TILL THE SEQUELS DAMNIT.

I really really loved it. RDJ is amazing, and I cannot wait to see more of him. A friend said that Marvel spent the last few years making movies that were just so/so in order to get the financial backing to pull out a movie like this. Hopefully now the superhero movies to come will follow suit. They have a lot to live up to now!

Rarely you see a Movie adaptation better than the comic book.Kudos to Mr.Downey who played Tony Stark better than Tony Stark,Mr.Favreau who made a blockbuster of a movie. But Seriously think about this..If you were a billionare what would you make ? an Armored Suite or a Utility Belt ?

I saw it three times the First Weekend! Enjoyed it more every time... Can't wait to see the Sequel. Thanks Marvel for taking me back to my fun childhood years.

Just watched it. Have to say that I was thoroughly disappointed. Lots of hype, barely any action not very funny weak dialog characters that were not easy to relate to. And the effects were very 2005ish. I have to say even the original Batman movies with biff and boom written across the screen were better superhero movies that this was. IMO

Who the heck is Iron Man???? I loooovvvvvved Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. was amazing and had your complete attention from frame one. This is a super hero you can relate to. It was so good to really get to know him and what moved him to become this "hero". I loved that they didn't do "action overkill" this first time. I left the theater wanting to see the sequel right now!! I've never anticipated a sequel to any movie in recent memory as much as I am this one. Robert Downey Jr has always been one of the best actors around and I was pleasantly suprised to see an actor of his caliber do this type of movie. (he's the only reason I went to see it) Thank God he did, because he made Iron Man an instant hit and has set a standard for these characters that people will want to see again and again. Congratulations to Marvel for getting this superhero right and to Mr. Downey for this superhuman, supertalented, superlovable, superhero. Tonya on May 14, 2008

INCREDIBLE...a suprisingly entertaining picture which rivals all its predecessors!

Superb movie. I have always been a fan of Batman and spiderman in the superhero genre, and i think that Batman begins was the best superhero movie made. (after the christopher reeves superman) I now have a new favourite.. this film was awsome.. the casting was perfect... RDJ as tony stark was inspired i loved him in Air America and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Paltrow was exquisite as pepper potts, and Jeff Bridges was perfect as obadiah stane (although Kris Kristopherson could have done too.. see payback). In an age where CG is king is was great to have an actual suit made for the charachter, and the action scenes were believable and not over the top. it was obvious that this film was a set up to indroduce charachters for the next 3 or 4 films but it still managed hold its own as a complete story. I have always like Jon Favreau as a director and actor and was happy when he joined the marvel family in daredevil ( a good film in spite of ben affleck) Iron man ( as does Batman) allows the casting of the right actor for the playboy behind the superhero and then allows the suit to fit the hero, and RDJ is a perfect playboy. I have only seen the film once so far but will definatly see it 4 or 5 times soon, i cant wait for the sequel and the connected marvel films

It was okay. Just okay. I don't know why everyone is getting so pumped by it. Downey Jr. was great, of course, with a few witty lines. Jeff Bridges didn't get enough screen time. But many scenes were just so predictable and cliché (Pepper Potts copying sensitive info to disk and - surprise - gets caught *yawn*). The CG was impressive in some places, but otherwise looked as expected. Disappointing.

P.S. Ironman will beat TDK at the box office so get your tissues ready.

Dear Iron-Man fan (#103) I cannot take your constant blindness and naivety. First off, just because a movie may make more money does not at all warrant its superiority to other films. Secondly, Christian Bale played a more complex character than Robert Downey Jr. Bale portrayed a complex character dealing with the death of his parents, the journey of discovering who he is, and taking the burden upon himself to protect those who were powerless. Downey portrayed a simplistic copycat character who felt sorry for himself for being a death-dealer. There is no possible way to say that Downey went through the pain and suffering that Bale went through as Bruce Wayne. And how can Iron-Man be labeled as a superhero. What, he saved a small village? Comon, Batman was fighting crime and saving the city while Iron-Man was fighting his business partner. In these regards, Bale played a higher quality character than Downey's Stark. Thirdly, Iron-Man was more showmanship than Batman Begins because of its (Iron-Man) heavier use of CGI with the various suits. So you can't possible say that Batman Begins was all showmanship. Fourthly, going back to the money aspect...I believe TDK will make way more money than Iron-Man because of Ledger's death. Yes, such a factor isn't fair...but if we are to play by your terms, then TDK will be more successful because fans and non-fans alike will desire to pay tribute to Ledger's last work of art and therefore pay money to see the film. And lastly...Iron-Man's storyline was just boring and yes, predictable. Can you name any surprises or twists that came just from the storyline? Thought so. At least Batman Begins surprised the audience by having Liam Neeson come back as Ra's Al Gaul. And aside from the flashy scenes of Stark creating and testing the various suits and its functions, the whole story was bland. Especially the "climax" (if there was one). Iron-Man was barely able to fight because he had less than 20% of his energy remaining. Such a limiting factor does not create intensity but foolishness. The suit was totally underutilized during the final battle scene which created disappointment from such a cliched storyline technique. In the end...I admit that Iron-Man was a good, but not great film, and definitely inferior to Batman Begins. Perhaps you (#103) should put more effort into analyzing your reasoning for liking and disliking certain films.

Okay, Okay. You guys need to quiet the nerd-caps for a second, and realize just WHY Iron Man has an appeal across demographics (including -gasp- Girls!). He is witty. He is confident. And if you draw a plumb-line through the whole movie, you have the outline of what would make a rather enjoyable, (and non-headache incuding, a'hem Wachowski bros.) ROLLER COASTER RIDE. The kind you want to get right back on, the second you're done with it. Fan-boys shmam-boys. The movie wasn't perfect. (NEITHER WAS BATSY DOES THE BEGUINE': not a well-shot action sequence in the WHOLE film, and Bale's voice croaked once he put the suit on. C'mon. Admit it!) Nonetheless - people have been starved for a good popcorn popping roller-coaster ride, and Iron Man not only delivered, it delivered (yes, dismissively jaded fanboys who have no time for something an ordinary person would enjoy) SOMETHING FRESH. Downey's Stark was the POLAR opposite of every other Superhero who's come to the screen. He. Was. A. GROWN UP. And grown ups like cars. And grown ups like girls. And grown ups like drinking. And gambling. And both younger AND grownup girls- like. Confident. Men. Which Downey's Stark was. The Dark Knight will be a cinematic masterpiece, costumes, FX or none (and since they used live stunts & almost no CGI, that counts as next to none). You could've put Bale, Ledger, and Eckhart in ANY film - "Super Hero" or none (and, at this point, I think Batman's world is more resembling a surreal take on the CSI / 24 type crime genre, populated w/ genuine, certifiably insane criminals - portrayed w/ more conviction than most actors give ANY role, in ANY film), and people would show up just b/c of their Cred. It's time to get off our high horse, boys. COMIC. MOVIES. ARE. A. FAD. They don't mean a thing, if they don't have that ___(fill in the blank)____.

Matt: Did I ever say I didn't like Batman? I was singing praises to Batman Begins- all I said was that it was not perfect. I like Bale's Batman. Batman's a grownup, too. And (I'll say it, apologies to those I'm about to traumatize-) Grown Ups. Don't. Like. COMIC BOOKS. I like 'em. But that's b/c I make 'em for profit and can validate my occasional purchases as actual research. But use yer noggins for a second here: People WILL flock to see the Dark Knight- as in ordinary, non-comics fan people who see movies not BECAUSE they're based on comic books, but IN SPITE of the fact that they are. They'll see the Dark Knight, just as they're seeing Iron Man, b/c they're both starring excellent, talented male actors at the pique of their craft, w/ a hot young auteur at the helm steering an either fun or compelling story w/ daft technical prowess, and ICING on the cake- is that it's an update of a familiar character who they remember from their childhood (Iron Man excepted, in most cases). And yes, comics fans will see it, too - but guess what? It's because it's BETTER than either Iron Man OR Batman have ever been portrayed, even in the comics. Iron Man. Is the FUN. Batman. (For now...) Pick up a single Batman comic today and try to pawn it off on someone who's never read comics before. It's not going to turn them ON to seeing the Dark Knight. The DARK KNIGHT is what's turning people on to see the Dark Knight. If you want to start nit-picking about where the movie departs from the comics, I'll gladly take your girlfriend to the nearest bar for a bit, while you try to figure that out. But she'll be PERFECTLY happy to accompany you & see the Dark Knight, b/c it's starring (Ta-DAAA!) Confident. Grown Up. Men. Iron Man had two GQ cover options. Dark Knight has at LEAST five. And NONE of these guys would be caught dead wearing tights. The Spider Man fad is over. We don't need more movies about so-so guys shooting goo out their hands, while repeating mantras ad nauseum. The Hulk franchise, I think, hinges on it's wise combination the popular 70's tv show w/ the comics, and milking Ed Norton for EVERYTHING he's worth. (He's kind of an incredible Hulk of an actor, re-writing scripts, demanding final cut, etc. But so far I think they're handling that well - hey, I know I"M gonna see it. And I know my SISTER will see it w/ her son, b/c of that KISS that Liv Tyler shares w/ him, before he jumps out the helicopter.) Hulk's MAIN selling point should be : American History X. Fight Club. The Illusionist. And now. The Incredible Hulk. Before you nay say, takeyour nerd caps off (don't worry, I've got one, too) & put them ON the ground, and think like your average person for a sec. I like complex stories, books, & films too. But I also like me a good roller coaster. Ever been on one? Those guys work pretty damn hard planning those things, to make sure you get your money's worth. But the GOOD ones - are the ones that make you want to get right back on, and do 'em all over again. Make it too complex, and man- spare me the headache, PLEASE! Next ride!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiBhLayXlwA This clip is super hilarious and it sums up how I feel about Iron-Man when compared to Batman Begins.

Forget what Iron Man has done for superhero movies, this film has restored my faith in movies all together! Stop whining and picking it apart. And for all of you that are raving about any of the Spiderman films, did you watch the same movies I did!? GARBAGE!

"WHY Iron Man has an appeal across demographics (including -gasp- Girls!)" -#108 Even in the comics, Iron Man caputred women's hearts. Stan Lee revealed that most fanmail for Iron Man came from the female population. Most of them saying they'd like to have a go making Tony Stark a better man. Tony Stark's imperfections make him perfect. And Robert Downey Jr. brought those imperfections to life. —————— "I think Iron Man is cooler. `Coz he doesn't wear fake, rubber nipples." -Me

The fact that this theme was in the film makes it awesome! RDJ was divinely inspired casting. Best hero movie to date. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wn4iYoMcAA Can't wait for DVD!

I watched this movie 5 times, yeah 5, that's just how good this freakin' movie is. I love IRONMAN! Robert Downey Jr. is such a BADASS player! He did great, this movie couldn't have been better and the action/humor ratio is just great for the movie. The whole cast really brought it and is definetly the BEST superhero movie to date. I really hope Favreau will direct the sequel, it just wouldn't be great without him. It's like Ironman w/o Downey.
