!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG OMGAOGMAOGMAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that looks AWSOME!

looks like one of the better comic to movie remakes!

thats on my list for sure  8)

Well that looks kinda cool.  8)  However we could have done with out the song in there, it's IronMan by BlackSabath.  It's a pretty dark song, catchy but dark.  :D  Oh, it might be a deal breaker, I'm not sure yet.

SICK!  8)

I completely agree.  They should have used "War Pigs" instead.

iron man iron man does whatever an iron can!

yay for spider pig hehehe

Terrorists who kidnap a weapons designer and imprison him in a metal shop deserve what they get!

I'm not a huge Iron Man fan, but I gotta say, this looks pretty sweet!

I'm not a Sabbath fan, but "Iron Man" is a classic tune, and I'm glad they used it for the trailer.  I was just thinking about this movie a month or two ago, and I thought it'd be pretty cool if they used that song.

I was pretty suprised and happy to see they did!

Just because the song is in the teaser trailer doesn't mean it'll be anywhere in the movie though.  It's pretty common for songs to be used in trailers and then never show up in the movie, on the soundtrack, or even be mentioned as having any connection to the film!

Jon Favreau is doing a great job with this so far, it has exactly the right feel to be true to the comics and still have a mass appeal!

Oh, yes, Ironman is a good wholesome song for the whole family let's sing some of the lyrics together right now! "....he rises from the grave, killing those he once saved..."  ::)

this looks great  8)

I didn't say it was a wholesome song, I said it was perfect for the trailer.

Don't get confused!

Tip Top!

Tippy Toppy

So what's Iron Man's story?  From the above posts it sounds like he was forced to create a weapon and then he became that weapon?

wiki wiki sweet boom boom

yeah, the song isn't good, but it fits the movie.

Can't wait to see it.

Tony Stark was brilliant. A Billionaire Weapons Designer and Dealer, but also a party boy and an alcoholic.

In the movie it looks like he is giving the US Army a demonstration of some weapons, and then they are transporting him somewhere.  Some terrorists attack the army convoy he's in, and kidnap him for their Warlord who wants him to build weapons for them. 

Unfortunately he's seriously injured in the fight when they grab him, and a piece of shrapnel is lodged in his heart.

He builds some sort of device in his chest that keeps him alive, some sort of advanced pacemaker kinda thing.

He and another captive are supposed to build weapons for the Warlord, but instead they work together to build a suit of powered armor to escape with.

He "opens up a can" on the terrorists and the warlord, busting to freedom as Iron Man.

This ends up being kind of a life changing experience for him and he struggles to be a better person, while still having problems with alcohol and stuff.

He makes other Iron Man suits and becomes the Hero known as Iron Man!

...speaking of spiderpig...

"I am Ne-el-son!  Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da - Vote for me!"

Rick!

thanks, carey!

Yer Welcome Matey!  AAAAAARRRRR!!!!!

To be true to the current comics he'd have to be a totalitarian responsible for the death of his best friend and an American hero. :P

But yes, Favreau is appears to be doing a splendid job. I remember hearing suggestions that he play "Happy" Hogan.
Also, Samuel L. Jackson will be playing Nick Fury in a cameo. The big rumor is that he'll be trying to recruit Iron Man for The Avengers in anticipation for the planned film of the same name and that a virtual identical scene is being filmed for the same-year-release of The Incredible Hulk. :)

been there done that. seen this about 4 months ago. Though I must say, Robert Downy JR is a SUPERB actor so he won't dissapoint.




wow that sounds awesome. Avengers. Starks a foo' though, with that whole Hero registration act.

I'm so excited for this one!!  Comics and Cartoon movies are teh only action moves the wife gets excited to go see with me   ;D

Word.

Here's where I heard the rumor reguarding Nick Fury and The Avengers.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/34962

That's around when this thread was originally posted, and then John recently resurrected it!

I'm glad he did though, cool to hear about Nick Fury 8)

And here I go again re-resurrecting it. :)

New Trailer! (http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/trailer2/)

HD version (http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/hd/)

So Iron Monger will be the villain that Iron Man fights directly but The Mandarin's presence will be behind the scenes (http://www.comicsinfilm.com/2007/07/31/jon-favreau-on-iron-man-villains/). After viewing this trailer I'm inclined to believe that the man who captures Tony is actually The Mandarin and that he hires Obadiah Stane to build the Iron Monger suit.

Sounds right John.

a blend between the original Iron Man Comics, Ultimate Iron Man, and the new iron man cartoon movie that came out last year.

I missed Samuel L playing Nick Fury, till I just came across it in on IMDB. That's badass.

I'm so excited for this movie. Iron Man's always been one of my favourite comics.

Coming this may!  not long now...

Opens today!

i think iron man and samus should hook up...


(http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/samus/samus.jpg)

I love global launches. It's opening here today as well. I don't think I'll get to see it right away though.

I won't be able to see it until Friday Night

I saw an advance screening last night. Seriously... I didn't expect this, but it was probably one of the worst superhero flicks of the past 10 years. Words cannot describe.

 :P

that sucks to hear!  :(

This guy rips just about everything to pieces, but he really liked it:

(some bad language)

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36559

yeah... I was just kidding. Haven't seen it. You should know better than to believe I got advance tickets :)

Dang dude!  You're just MEAN!!!!!   :'(  :'(  :'(

 :laugh:

 ??? :laugh:

LOL, you had us going there for a min. :laugh:

Keep in mind that Dave thought Superman Returns was a good movie. :p

Rotten Tomatoes likes it (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/iron_man/).

Hahah, I like this (http://www.brianorndorf.com/2008/04/film-review-iro.html):

Superheroes have been young, mutated, and alien, but they're rarely fortysomething billionaires with a taste for one-night-stands, metallurgy, and scotch. Perhaps this is why Iron Man is so effective.

good sign!  8)

Seeing it in THX tonight!!!!

this may have been asked already on this thread...but is this coming in imax anywhere?

^ Elitist ;)

Why not digital? For serial!

Confession: I saw Ep 2 in every format they released it on in the theater. Imax was the WORST. They cut out 20 minutes and did a pan and scan of it.

On the other hand... the picture quality was INFINITELY better than the matrix reloaded on imax which was extremely graining and keylined. IE. Over sharpened.

It's listed as being released in IMAx, but the Imax theatre here is not showing it, so THX is the best I could do!

Yeah, that Star Wars was back when IMAX could only do 2 hour movies, so they had to edit it down.

Now they can do longer, but you're right, Matrix wasn't too good in IMAX.

Batman Begins was very good in IMAX though!

Ludicrously massive cinemas is one of the things I miss most about living in Canada.

Yeah that looks ... lame :D. Just like transformers. Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree on superhero movies in general.

HATER!!!!   >:(  >:(


 :)

But, the star wars deal with Imax was amazing for one thing. That was the first film ever shot in all digital. All of the critics of digital cinematography said that you couldn't blow the image up that much and still retain the image quality. Lucas did this edit solely to prove them wrong and he did. The image was perhaps one of the cleanest I had every seen that large.

The all digital release was just as important as it fully completed the entire digital only aspect of the film. Beyond that, it did give Lucas more time to add in a few things he hadn't had the time to do prior to the main release of the flick such as add in some sparks and other visual flares. Nothing major, but it was a few finishing touches that added to it even if the majority of people didn't notice.

 :laugh:

Heard from a buddy who just saw it and said it was AWESOME.

He said the Nick Fury appearance takes place during the credits, so stay through those to see it.

sweet i think im going tonight. man...i havent been to the movies since Enchanted was out... :-*

NICK FURY!

Did he say if it was Sam Jackson?

Yeah, it was Samuel Jackson.

He was upset about that as he's a fan of the original white Fury.

I told him the Ultimate Fury is the only Fury, and Sam is perfect for the part!

I told him if he wants his white Nick Fury, there is always the David Hasselhoff version:

Ewwwwwwww

oh man, I'm going tomorrow. Can't wait.

Would that be this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482631/) Nick Fury?

that's him

woot! it is playing in digital right by my house!!

https://www.movietickets.com/purchase.asp?perf_id=553747331

yep, I'll be seeing it in digital THX too

Woah! Literally right by your house? :)

Amazingly freakingly fantastically awesome movie!

AWESOME!!!  8)

I can't wait for the new Hulk movie. And hopefully soon we'll get all the Avengers...

Keep in mind that each respective version of the character is not solely defined by how the colorist colors him.

I'm sure your friend has other reasons for liking the classic Fury, other than him being white. :/


Oh, that's the first thing you say about almost every movie you see. ;)

I saw it this afternoon but won't give my full verdict until later. However, all-in-all I did like it. :)


I would want to see a Thor and Captain America, respectively, before an Avengers movie.
And I'm talking about the true Captain America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America) not that phoney Ultimates one. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_versions_of_Captain_America#Ultimate_Captain_America) :)

guess i'll have to see it again!   :smiley8:
work bought us a bunch of 12:50pm matinee tickets to teh irondude, so that made for a very happy day  :-X

That's what the nick fury thing is all about!

Ok, he did mention him being stubbly too, an unshaven, white fury.

I don't think it's a racial thing so much.  He would also be upset with a blue Hulk, not because he's racist against blue people, but because traditionally the Hulk is green.

In the same way he would be upset if the Black Panther was white, not because he has a problem with caucasians,  but because the Panther is traditionally an African.



I haven't said that about any movie before.

I certainly didn't say that about 10'000 BC   :laugh:
 

The plan is to have movies for Thor and Cap first.

Yeah, I know...

I still have my fears about a new Cap movie... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcSuA6d-3RM

Dude, that's how all the hero movies were back then, they are all much better now

Iron Man was great. Loved it. Sneak peak of Fury at the end was excellent, haha.

It's as if Ultimate Nick Fury was designed after Samuel L. Jackson and then Samuel L. Jackson goes on to play him.

10 out of 10!

this competes in my book with batman begins... very close... i think batman is still #1 though...

Yep, pretty much. Hopefully his appearances in Hulk will be good.

Well, your half-right. The Nolan/Goyer/Bale-verse is # 1. :)

Nick Fury spoiler-bootleg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR6zOyj7QXs)

That's pretty much exactly what happened.

An earlier version of Fury in the Ultimate X-Men looked a little different, but when the actual Ultimates title launched he was just like this, and in one of the early issues the team jokes about who would play them if they made a movie, and Fury says "Samuel L. Jackson"

I think you're right on the money  ;)

Batman is still #1, but this is very, very close!!! 

10 outta 10!

The only complaint I have about the entire movie, is that Terrance Howard was not a good Rhodey.  He was too much of a Wuss!

Considering most people don't even know who Rhodey is, not a big deal, and still a 10  :)

just heard this morning it brought in over $100 mill this weekend...not to shabby

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7383728.stm

nice!

Yes, I knew of this. My previous post was a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor. :)

I thought maybe it was, but couldn't tell for sure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWmHEF_PT8E

Just saw the flick. I'm happy.

 :)

Ok, so Darth Vader, Iron Man and Robocop walk into a bar...

and hope that there isn't a microwave in use.

 :laugh:

OOoooo

and can't figure out why the ringing in their heads won't stop.

Iron Man was good.

</thread>

 :laugh:

<thread>

wow was this a great movie!  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

i was never a huge ironman fan....don't get me wrong,he was fine when i was a kid,but i went for batman,spiderman, and especially wolverine/x-men.....i'm now an ironman fanboy  ;D

 
Same here!

I was expecting there to be more drinking.

Scotchy Scotchy Scotchy!!!

Scotch tastes funny..  ::)
Maybe scotch is what Iron Man uses to defy the laws of Physics!! LOL

Marvel +1!  8)

True, not enough high quality liquor. The "high quality" ladies were a kick, though.

I've never tried it, I was mainly referencing Anchor Man  :)

Anchor Man...

Iron Man...

I like Plugged in's review:

http://www.pluggedinonline.com/movies/movies/a0004046.cfm

Plugged-in is, at least in my opinion, the best/fairest Christocentric, entertainment review site there is.

Good review.

Agreed.

Was it you who posted about it on the boards previously?

If so, thank you, that's how I found it, and I like it.

I think I've posted links to reviews by them before. Though I don't recollect posting any on this particular thread.

no, not on this thread, just on another.
