Iron Man (2008)

One the list of good comic movies.....Spider-Man 1 and 2 and X-Men 1 and 2 definitely....Hellboy too. I haven't seen more of these non-superhero comics, so my opinion is limited. I was not a huge fan of V for Vendetta, but I didn't get to see all of it. I did not enjoy "A History of Violence" myself...but my opinions often seem to conflict greatly with the people here...

Me, I'm just glad that the rumor early on of Nicolas Cage as Stark was untrue, still....
from The Wicker Man to Iron Man would've been a step up, I believe...

HA! I'd see the movie if it was about Tony Stark making his own wicker armor.

"This summer one man will rise...and make himself a costume from his living room chair. He is....Wicker Man"

Robert Downy Jr. plays an alcoholic billionaire! I wonder how much acting he had to do for that role...

A lot...he's only a millionaire...so he had to emote ten times his normal rate.

This just in...



Shiny.

Looks like it's made of plastic, not metal.  Other than that...awesome!

I wonder how Downey takes a piss?

The Armor's rust proof.

...

So these are basically just studio-hired computer nerds doing preproduction art, right?
Nothing has been built or actually filmed at this point.

I mean, it looks cool... i'm stoked. But this is all still a long time off, right?

Nope, Iron Man exists.





Literally it seems.

No, it's a practical costume created by Stan Winston studios. There's a fuzzy video circulating out there of someone in the Iron Man armor walking, stretching, and crouching. They've been filming for a few months for a May 2008 release.

DAMN!! this looks like it could be great.

[Junkyard]

Gotta admit, it looks awesome. Downey may just yet prove to be a good choice.

[Bob]

Cool, thanks for posting.

I have high hopes.

[mrbasehart]

Man, that looks great.  Like a lot of people, I thought Downey was perfect for Tony Stark, and it seems our belief is justified. 

[Tripe]

Yep from what i could see it looks great, thankfully little Paltrow in the trailer (not sure about her frankly).

My wife loved what she saw (she's a major fan of Iron Man)
