Iron Man (2008)

I like Gwyneth Paltrow.  Why do people hate her...?

I don't hate her, I just don't have the patience for the films she normally stars in.

It would be like Hugh Grant starring in a Green Lantern movie, and being great in it.

That's only an only slightly less offensive idea than Jack Black playing Green Lantern.  Or Nic Cage playing Superman for that matter.

I was never the biggest Iron Man fan, just never got around to reading those comics, missed the cartoon series entirely, so at first I didn't know what all the fuss was about.

Now I've seen this movie, I think I need to track some comics down.  This was just awesome all around.  It's not every day a movie can openly refer to a character as a "super hero" by the end and not come off completely goofy for doing so.  Great cast, well written, well shot, well directed, I want more from this creative team (from the sound of it I'm getting my wish).

Just FYI, for the last 5 years, Marvel comics has decided to turn all their smart white guys into total assholes, so I'd suggest shying away from anything newer than 2001 or 2 if you want to get to know a fun, sympathetic character.

Hmmm...
Maybe.


Anyway, Iron Man rocks!

How did I know this would end up on the next page? Go back a page if you're confused.

That really puts the ColecoVision's graphics to shame.

Just saw it last night.  Loved it.

Um...that's all I have to say right now.  Maybe I'll think of more to say later.

I think they did their best with Rodney. You and I and everybody and their moms know he is simply there so we know who he is come the sequel.

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

me neither, but how can you not like Terrence Howard?

[Junkyard]

You didn't need to read the comics to know; Do you remember the "Next time," line?

But for further reference: James Rhodes IS War Machine.

And just an awesome little pic I found while looking for a pic of War Machine:

I didn't follow the comic either, but a couple of people laughed at the "next time" line so I assumed (correctly apparently) that he donned that suit eventually.

[Junkyard]

He was sorta bland and pudgy?

For some reason I can't quite pinpoint, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day.

[sarcasm_made_Easy]

yeah i kinda figured (after staying after the credits) that war machine iron man nick fury and some other yutzs would all be in the supposed avengers.

And now I have a new desktop wallpaper.

Im just wondering because i saw over last weekend and i thought it was pretty cool. It probably the first really good movie based marvel character in a really really long time.

Because I love your signature, I won't immediately bring up the other thread we have on this.


But we do have another thread on this.
