Of course, while we were killing time waiting for the movie, I dropped by the Barnes and Noble at the same strip mall and picked up a few graphic novels. Upon getting home and reading the comics, I managed to re-kindle my disdain for Tony Stark and start to hate him as a character again (which the movie had pretty much washed away).

Ah, well I'm glad I don't have to rush out and start reading Iron Man. I'm fairly certain I still hate the basic character but I'm going to love the movie.

Did the movie have a good ending or did it have some shitty "We are totally making a franchise out of this" ending?

The film has an ending that sets up a franchise and is pretty cool IMHO. The additional scene at the end of the credits is excellent.

Also of note is that after seeing it last night (2nd time, this one with friends after being THAT guy), I was reading Imdb and noticed that Robert Downey jr. is credited as Tony Stark in the next Hulk movie...

Yeah, they're definitely setting up a few little crossover events, making for some "continuity" between the various franchises, setting things up for the Avengers.

Seriously though, they didn't use 'Iron man' the song until the end credits and even then they didnt use the vocals.

My friend and I who care about that sort of thing (the other two guys didn't know wtf we were on about) spent the entire movie going 'Come on use it now... YOU DIDN'T USE IT. YOU BASTARDS' Except quietly.

Extremely irritating.

Yeah that was annoying. "It was like they're going to use it now.... Wait nope.... oooh now... no."

It's to tie in several of the marvel movie characters so that they can bring forth the avengers movie (which is still in pre-production, who knows when that'll come out).


As for the ironman song, eh, it's been done enough in the trailers, didn't care that they did or didn't use it for the actual movie.

I missed that, mind tell me what happened ,using the spoiler code of course

It's on the youtubes in dodgy cam-o-vision, just search for 'iron man ending'

I thought it was friggin' brilliant, but I'm a huge Robert Downey, Jr. fan. I've been diggin' him since "Wierd Science" and "Less Than Zero."

I'm definitely gonna see it again. SFX were well done and the acting was up to snuff. Story was well paced and pretty solid. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequels.

AH thank you,I just checked it out very cool, wish I was able to catch the end when I saw it but my ride was leaving.

don't anybody tell me you did not see this coming . .

At least it'll be before the Awakening.

I plan on seeing tomorrow. the wife has twarted me thrice last week. but I'm determined to see it tomorrow, so much so that I might take off work a little bit early


SUPERIOR TECH!

woot! finally saw it today. Great movie!





i recomend seeing it. I give it 5 thumbs up!

nobody talking about the easter eggs?

iron man is kinda funny in that aspect . . nobody really talks about it, even if they have seen it O.o

Damn you all! Soon! SOON I shall have my Iron Man viewage!

You still haven't seen it? I hope you don't mind if I point and laugh.

dude man take a flight back here to see it right now!

Give him a break, he's not even on US soil. He deserves at least one more week before we can mock him properly.

The worst part is that when I finally do get to see it, I'll be watching it on "built by the lowest bidder" screens and "I think we still have 2 speakers that work" sound.

*Cries*

I hate you all, I hope you all appreciate the sacrifices I make for your freedom.

*ducks and weaves*

heh, i watched it in the biggest cinema, on the biggest screen in the whole of hamburg . . and it's still not something worth talking about somehow O.o
it's a good and funny action-flick, but nothing more x.x . .

Not true.

It was also a 10% increase in the price of Marvel stock.

As a matter of fact, I do. Very much.
And I hope my mocking and derision was taken in the good-natured way that it was intended.

Hehe... The day that I stop going to work because somebody made fun of me on DS, is the day I turn in my organs of reproduction.

But seriously, ya'll suck for living in the states during the Summer of Movie Awesomeness. It's rolling into typhoon season out here and our mobility is going to be greatly reduced if things start to get rough. *Points to his flak and kevlar in his ambulance*.

We had a freakin tornado last year. No you heard that right, a tornado. It was ridiculous.

Incidentally, Speed Racer is out now, as well. The vast majority of critics say it sucks. I say that it is the Citizen Kane of out time.

I feel your pain Doc. I'm going into the Navy in two weeks. Missing a lot of great movies that will be coming out because of boot and the like. No Batman, no Mummy 3, no, well you get the idea.

We appreciate it, in fact, if you're ever in DC, lemme know, I'll treat ya to a steak dinner.

I am Iron Man!

I am on DUTY when Iron Man plays at my base!!!

THERE IS NO JUSTICE!

Maybe I can uhm... restation on ambulance at the theater... for uhm... training. Urban, extrication training lasting... oh 2 hours or so...

With popcorn.

@PBTHHHHT=Free steak? You freakin rock man.

ayup, free steak, good thing I can afford it, the steak is cheaper here than where you are...

oh by the way, to keep this relevant...
Hi, I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC: Iron Man and Batman
The video is funny and get me hyped for the summer movies.
and this is part 2...
Hi, I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC: Iron Man and Batman #2

Heh heh

I'd imagine so, there are a few places to pick up a good steak on island but it's certainly not like back in the states where I can roll down to Costco and pick up 4 steaks the size of my head for a couple of bucks.

*sigh*

I have seen a place that served a ~120 dollar stake. To this day we have no idea what the hell made it so expensive (my buddy said it wasn't Kobe, or at least it was listed seperately. Super kobe? Dikoted kobe?)

Hmm... so it's like shadowrun world where real meat like beef will be more expensive.

...and krill and soy are plentiful. Actually it is very much a shadowrun world in that respect

Doc you are lucky. When I was in the Navy stationed on mainland Japan, early 90's, we had to wait almost a year to a year and a half before we were able to see the new movies. But I still sympathies with you. OH and I would kill for some authentic Japanese Ramin Noodles!!! KILL!!!

Kobe is a very expensive, and from I have been told, very good piece of beef. The beef is very tender and is suppose to almost melt off your fork. The way Kobe beef is made is sad though. They take a cow and put them in a stall from birth, and that cow never leaves that stall; never. The cows are fed special nutrients to help build the muscle/meat, if I remember correctly.

I was dating a Japanese woman back then who wanted me to meet her family, and the place her family wanted to take me was a Kobe restaurant. We never went because I was stupid and broke up with her.

I felt Ironman was done just as well as Spiderman, so if you enjoyed the Spiderman movie I think you will enjoy the Ironman movie.

Dude, you're mixing up your news of how kobe beef is done with what they do with some practices for veal.
Article on British farmer copying the kobe beef practices.
From the news about kobe beef, they get sake and beer in their diet and get massages also.
The never leaving the stall situation is more the stuff I've heard/read about how calves are raised for veal, they're in a tiny stall and never leave.

he went over 300 million domestic. go Iron Man! you da man!

Been there, done that, with the serving overseas and not getting the movies until after they've hit the third run markets, so I totally relate to you guys in the service.

I was "that guy" the first time I went to see Iron Man, and the 2nd time I took my 12 year old nephew. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. I so want Tony's tech (and the stewardesses:)). Pepper was hot too, and Jarvis was a riot. I want him running my house. Liked the update to Afghanistan, as someone said it fits the current world situation. Nephew asked me when it was coming out on DVD, and when I told him probably by Christmas, he said "That'd make a great Christmas gift, Uncle Mike!" Hint taken.

stewardesses ftw!

It says something about the awesomeness of this movie that, by the time you leave the theater, uber-hot pole-dancing stewardesses are the last thing on your mind.

It took independent verification to convince me I had heard right when Jackson said "Avenger Initiative". Given the unparalleled awesomeness of that movie (kicks spider man 1 squarely in the thorax) the concept of a full on avengers film done with the same quality was too perfect a thing for my mind to accept.

Lets hope they don't fuck it up.

Nick Fury is NOT black . . nuff said . .

Sure he is. 'Nuff said.

The awesomeness of Samuel L. Jackson playing a version of a character that was based off of Samuel L. Jackson is something that this world is not prepared for.

ultimate continuity does not count!
it does not exist!
i reject that reality and substitute my own!

You can bury your head in the sand but Ultimate continuity is the future of Marvel film franchises. Get on the train, big guy!

but i don't wanna ;_;
in ultimate continuity, CABLE is WOLVERINE FROM THE FUTURE . . if i ain't getting things mixed up again somewhere . .
and Cable is STILL Jean Grey(Phoenix) and Scott Summers(Cyclops) son . . SO WOLVERINE WOULD SOMEHOW BE THE SON OF CYCLOPS AND PHOENIX x.x . .

Oh the Oedipus complex! Oh the fanfiction!

I might as well start watching daytime soaps, with all this convoluted stuff in the comics... sheeesh.

try mapping out the family-tree some time . . you will need 4-dimensional sheets of paper . .
