Ironman was an extremely well-made movie, in my opinion.
+ Show Spoiler +The directors really knew how to make the audience laugh: "Just say it was military testing or something ... isn't that the usual BS?" "It's not that easy ..." (screen cuts to a new scene) "Due to military testing ... " ... that was a MAJOR LOL moment.

I don't mean that making the suit would be impossible or whatever, I mean that
1.) bullets should knock him over
2.) flying should make him black out
3.) it should hurt him horribly or maybe kill him every time he slams into shit
oh and hey, what was with the tank shooting him out of the air. wtf, like a tank could just snipe down something the size of a man flying at supersonic speed
were rendered minor and insignificant in the face of ... well, the pure awesomeness that is Ironman and his special effects. =)

ROFL I agree! Terrence and Robert had all the best funny lines. Like the part when Stark was trying to get Rhodey to drink and he's like "no I won't" then the next scene you see him kinda drunk with a stripper pole extending from the ceiling. LOL

LOL. that airplane scene was SO funny. but yeah this movie was one of the best adaptation of a comic book ive seen so far. other than spider man, of course. is there going to be an iron man 2?
|
Is anyone familiar with the comic itself? how similar was it to the movie? i just finished watching it and i thought it was pretty good except it seemed a bit rushed that the other guy created a suit as well.

This movie was barely better than the Hulk (the hulk sucked balls if any of you don't know, PS the new hulk trailer is lmao). How many stupid super hero movies are they going to make with the same introductory plot. Its so fucking boring. The first comics are always the stupidest, so why base them on this. People coming to these movies already know who they are, why bore them for an hour and a half explaining shit they already know or changing shit they thought they knew?
What they need to do is just take 10 of the best iron man comics, throw them in a box and pick one out and make it into a movie. Fuck explaining how he built the suit (which isn't even true to the comics), Fuck this whole terrorist element, fuck the Tony Stark dynamic of millionare to selfless hero. Of course iron man can take out some shitty taliban, lets see him take out some other super villains who are actually a real match.
On top of all this there is tons of stupid shit in the movie that is just filler and instead should be used for random action.

Oh yea and, a black man for Nick Fury was the only funny part in the movie.
On the plus side, now Ghostface Killa has a bunch of new samples to work into his songs.

They already announced Marvel's lineup going all the way through 2011:
Marvel today updated its feature film slate strategy and plans for the next three years, locking in key release windows for its character franchises. In order to focus its attention on maximizing the success of an Iron Man sequel and the launch of Thor in the summer of 2010 and because Marvel believes that the summer is the optimal time to launch a new property, the Company will not release a self produced film in 2009. Marvel plans to launch its 2010 film slate with the release of the sequel, Iron Man 2, on April 30, 2010, followed by the launch of Thor on June 4, 2010. Additionally, Marvel is planting its feature film stakes for summer 2011 with an Avengers-themed summer – a two-picture project which will debut on May 6, 2011 with The First Avenger: Captain America (working title), followed by The Avengers in July 2011.
That is from an official report.
Oh and here are a few ideas being thrown around about the sequel from a credible source (found a link from RT)
+ Show Spoiler +
Marvel Studios made it official yesterday, announcing that Iron Man 2 is now a sure thing. That means it’s time to start thinking about what direction they’ll go for the sequel, and don’t think for a minute that Marvel doesn’t already have plans.
Tonight I got a message from a long time friend of the site, and one of our most spot on, regular scoopers. She’s had her ears out, and tells us she knows some of the things currently being considered for the next Iron Man movie.
Apparently the Samuel L. Jackson cameo after the credits in Iron Man wasn’t just a throwaway. Our scooper says his Nick Fury character will figure prominently into the next movie. One of the plot lines being pushed for the sequel has Jackson’s Nick Fury character enlisting the help of Tony Stark in going after a terrorist called The Mandarin.
If you know anything about Iron Man outside the movie, then you know that The Mandarin is one of his most notorious villains. The movie actually alludes to him. The terrorist group which captures Tony Stark at the beginning of the film is named “The Ten Rings”, a reference to the ten rings of power the Mandarin seeks in the comics.
We don’t know if the ten rings will still be a part of the character, but our scooper does say he’ll “have a monster at his disposal by the name of Fin Fang Foom.” That might be a nice change of pace. Give Iron Man something to fight besides his mirror image in a bigger suit. Meanwhile Fin Fang Foom also plays a role in Iron Man comic lore. In the comics, he’s an extraterrestrial dragon.
In addition to new bad guys, our source says they may be planning to involve other superheroes in the film. Maybe in the form of the cameo Iron Man is supposed to do later this summer in The Incredible Hulk. Chief among those is Thor, who may show up in more than just a cameo, possibly helping Iron Man. Thor has his own movie coming out the same summer Iron Man 2 hits, so that makes a certain kind of sense. It would be a way for Marvel to get people interested in a superhero franchise which, really isn’t as high-profile. Other possible superhero cameos include Hawkeye and Black Widow.
While our source for this is tried and true, please keep in mind that none of this is final yet. It’s still very very early in the Iron Man 2 production phase. With no script yet, anything could change, and with Iron Man 2 not being released till 2010, we’re going to have plenty of time to talk about it.

In the Ultimate Marvel Universe, Nick Fury is not only black, but drawn intentionally to look like Samuel L. Jackson...
