PromoTheRobot Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Most of the glut of superhero movies have been a disappointment. Spiderman was good and that's about it. So I went into Iron Man with low expectations. I'm glad to say that it's a GREAT movie! Robert Downey Jr. brilliant!! Great story, well presented. Maybe it's because Marvel produced this movie themselves that they took extra care to give it a strong storyline. Two huge thumbs up! PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Most of the glut of superhero movies have been a disappointment. Spiderman was good and that's about it. The X-Men series and Batman Begins were also pretty good, I thought. Nice to hear a good review of this one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree that those two were good. Actually Hellboy was good too. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Can't wait to see Iron Man. We're starting to witness the complete and total career rehabilitation of Robert Downey Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'll agree that those two were good. Actually Hellboy was good too. PTR Hellboy was a better film than most give it credit for...I wasn't crazy about the Xmen films, but definitely enjoyed all three Spideys. The last Superman flick was a disappointment for me...there was quite a drop-off in charisma from C.Reeve to B.Routh, IMO. Can't wait to see Iron Man, Dark Knight, and Hellboy the deuce.

bills_fan Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Jon Favreau rarely disappoints. Love to see what he will do with Iron Man. I had no interest in the movie until I heard he was directing. Now, I'm excited to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbaboo Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Most of the glut of superhero movies have been a disappointment. Spiderman was good and that's about it. Spiderman 1 was good. 2 and 3 were godawful. You didn't like Superman Returns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all 3 X-men were better than all of the spiderman movies. Also the Blade movies were good too(people forget he is from marvel comics back in the day) I am siked to see Tony Starks though!

Dibs Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Spiderman 1 was good. 2 and 3 were godawful. You didn't like Superman Returns? Looks like you & I may have similar tastes. Comic book movies I thought were good(worth seeing).......recent times. Spider-man 1 X-Men 1 & 2 Sin City V for Vendetta Batman Begins Hellboy I liked Hulk & DD as well but don't count these as good movies for the genre. I'm seeing Iron Man tomorrow night......ooooh, can't wait......well I guess I can since I'm not going today but you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_franchise Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 One thing about Iron Man that sucks, is the toy from burger king. My niece got one tonight, I put it together in 10 seconds and then 5 seconds later its back in pieces, half of which are now missing. Im sure they had lead in them somewhere so it might just be a blessing in disguise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR Oh I know, the last thing I want is for my 3 year old niece to put a piece of the damn toy in her mouth and have it lodge in there. How do you explain that to mom. I remember when the toys you got from those places were 1 solid piece of plastic that didn't move at all. And not that soft plastic that the WWF figures we're made out of. Even though those could do damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 We're starting to witness the complete and total career rehabilitation of Robert Downey Jr. He was born to play Tony Stark. It's the most inspired bit of casting since Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack. Teriffic movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster4324 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 He was born to play Tony Stark. It's the most inspired bit of casting since Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack. Teriffic movie... He rocked as Iron Man. I actually bought his portrayal of a character more so than in any other movie. Essentially, I am saying, he did a better job of portraying Tony Stark better than even Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Everyone hurry up and see it so I don't have to worry about spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
