In the tradition of I, Robot comes I, Ronman, the story of a shy college student who is bitten by a radioactive guy named Ron. Our hero's DNA is transformed, his body taking on the attributes of Ron until - hang on. Apparently we got that wrong and there's nothing remotely that cool going on here. It's Iron Man and from what we're told it's just a guy in a metal suit. Kind of looks like a Transformer. Fights another guy who looks like a Transformer. And you get to see Gwyneth Paltrow's back. And it's directed by the guy who did Zathura.
Not only that, it made a gajillion dollars, no doubt because people got confused and thought they were seeing I, Ronman.
But Mike, Kevin and Bill put aside their collective disappointment over it not being I, Ronman and give it the most iron fortified RiffTrax yet!

OMG! This is looking to be one of the funniest riffs yet! Great sample..
Interesting, I had the opposite reaction. I think that was the least interesting sample in a long time.
In the middle for me. A couple of them didn't get much out of me, but others had me pausing the video because I was laughing too hard (particularly the pizza one ;D). Think I'll give this one a shot.
It was the spies on stilts line that got me. ;D

Don Cheadle is stepping in to replace Terrence Howard in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Studios' sequel to its summer blockbuster.
Apparently that line didn't secure Terrance's role in the sequel.
I liked Iron Man, but this riff looks fantastic.
Also nice if you stick around through the credits you get bonus riffs!

Really? that would explain the odd extended file length. I'll have to check that out.
This sample also give an example of how the more armor and/or magical type shields the heroes possess the better the marksmanship of the bad guys. Those Afghani terrorists are way better than Imperial Stormtroopers.

True. Because at the end of the movie on top of the building when the helmet and the gauntlet are gone, Stane misses by miles even though Stark is holding on in one spot.
Hey now that's spooky. It almost like a rule like the Second Law Of Thermodynamics or something.
