First, I just want to say to all the Stark haters, DC boys, and anti-registration nuts, BOOYAH, I told you so! Secondly, damn fine movie, huh. ;D Next, for everyone that has not yet read Iron Man: Extremis, please do so. It is the reference tool for the movie and Iron Man in general. I am so happy with this movie. It is the first definitive Marvel movie, and, God willing, the direction that comic book movies will be going in the foreseeable future. I'm not saying that Batman Begins or the first X-men were bad, but, they were not this movie. It was true to the comic, yet respected the fact it was on a different medium. People who say that comic book films should remain pure to the source material are naive and ignorant to the fact that the way a story is portrayed has a lot do with the way it comes across. If every film walked the same narrow path as the books, then they would be prey to the same pitfalls. Repetitive stories, cardboard characters, and nonexistent plot development are things that currently plague an industry already cursed by stagnation. If we cannot reintroduce these characters in a new light, and see them in new stories then they cannot and will not grow.

Man, now that I think about it, really fuck Quesada for re-hashing something thats been done before. Spider-man had gone through the whole no girlfriend thing once before, why drudge up an old idea? I mean, it was really pretty and well done, but why not put that effort to a new idea instead of trying to maintain status quo. I like Quesada as E-I-C, but let's try something new once.

Iron Man was EPIC. It hit on all cylinders, and Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. He was as close to natural as an actor could get. And if the future films follow the same formula Iron Man did, we've got some damn good movies ahead of us!

ironman is one of the rare occasions where it felt like they lifted the characters from the pages of the book and threw them on the big screen. all the people bitching about the little things they had to change need to realize that they made the movie in the year 2008, the comic iron man first showed up in 1963 (yeah...i had to wiki it). so yeah, some stuff got updated. it had to happen. didnt ruin the movie just because a couple characters werent the same fucking nationality as they were in the comic. for the movie, it made sense.
still shoulda pulled up the record of the sr72.....

If i was a guy i would be gay for RDJ so bad. Oh...wait...i dont have to.
With his role as stark, he imediately jumped into the ranks of my top favorite actors (joining of course: Cillian Murphey, Alan Tudyk, Micheal Rosenbaum, and a few others) The movie was well played out, I enjoyed it entirely all three times i saw it in theaters. <3
(im just not a huge gweneth paltrow fan. not that she did a bad job, i just dont like her as an actress.)
