The first official picture of the "Version 1" Iron Man suit in the upcoming movies with Robert Downey Jr, Terrence Howard and Gweneth Paltrow:

That screenshot looks good. Story wise, out of all the superhero movies, Iron Man has the potential to be the coolest. This is the first I've heard of it though. What time is it being set in? I hope it's set in the past, but I doubt it will be.
Also, the fact that the director is Jon Favreau, whos biggest film to date is 'Elf', is an alarm bell, but I'm going to give the film the benefit of the doubt.

Set in modern times. In the original comic series, he was injured while in Vietnam, and built the suit to save his own life (the suit kept his heart going). I know the movie's origin is in Afganistan, not Vietnam, but I dunno if they're using the whole "life-saving suit" gimmick. The original suit was very clunky looking and built on spare parts. Here's a shot of the original suit when done in the 1960's:

Aye, I've got that very comic (not an original mind you, a re-print), and I'm impressed with the relative closeness of the movie one you posted to the original suit. I was hoping they'd keep it in the same time period as the original Vietnam, but eh, sure make it Afghanistan. I'd consider it likely that it's a life saving suit if Afghanistan is involved.

Taking bets for using the song "Iron Man" when he first shows up with the intention of fighting crime in the suit.

Some people in the Air Force are pissed because Terrence Howard is being allowed to wear our new uniform in the movie before it's even being issued to the regular Air Force. The Air Force came out with a point paper the other day on the new uniform and this was one of the specific points. They excused it by pointing out the studio had to do their own tailoring of the uniform for the actors. Well OK, that makes it OK to show uniforms in movies before folks in the service can actually buy them.

The modern day Iron Man suit revealed
The main suit (Mark III) from the upcoming movie. Pretty spiffy.

That is a kickass trailer!! I like Downey Jr's delivery on those lines. And you couldn't pick better music.

My wife was in bed when I checked it out last night and she just had to come up when the song started. That was indeed a kick ass trailer. Can't wait to show it to my sons tonight.

I can't f-ing stand Bob Downer II. That said, I will most assuredly be seeing this one in the theater. Sweet indeed.

So let's see. Growing up I read comics religiously. Definately a Marvels guy (screw DC Comics!!!). X-Men, Amazing Spider Man, Avengers, and Iron Man were the main ones I read.
Iron Man is right up there with story-line development with Spider Man and just as easy to screw up (Spider Man 3 did nothing for the series). However, if done right, Iron Man can easily be the best movie adaptation yet of a Marvel Comic book. Last edited by Dutch : 09-29-2007 at 11:58 AM. |

Watched Iron Man on a screening last night.
Amazing movie. Simply great. On par with the original Spider-Man and Batman Begins as the best comic book movie ever. Oh, and for those who like the comic: Stay for the credits. There's a scene at the end of the credits that's freakin' FANTASTIC.

I heard the same thing about staying after the movie on the radio yesterday, but heard there was nothing. Anyone have a spoiler on this, if it is worth staying for or what it is exactly? Could it possibly be a short clip of Pumpy Tudors?

For whatever reason -- and I really can't explain why exactly -- I think I've been looking forward to this movie more than any I can recall in quite a long time. And by long time I mean like a decade or more, not six months.
Of course that means that there's a pretty good chance I'll end up feeling let down after I've seen it, but ... what can ya do?

Yeah, I saw the after the credits scene. Of course, it would be really nice if they went through with it... 2010? 2012 perhaps? Heh. Here's my review from the Last movie you watched thread. Quote:

Great movie! I probably geeked out more during this movie than any other comic book movie in a while.

Big thumbs up for Iron Man from me. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And this is from someone who wasn't a big fan of the comic.

Fantastic movie...I'd put it up there with the best comic book movie adaptations ever.

I was not familiar with this particular comic book or the character in general, but I enjoyed the movie quiet a bit. All around good summer fun.

IMHO, the movie is infinitely better than the comic right now. Maybe Invincible Iron Man will be better, but Iron Man hasn't been good since Queseda was on it and the armor was sentient.
