e_jacob77 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 HI all, being that I know soooo very little about Iron Man comics, my prediction is mostly that, a prediction... I do know that stark is suppose to be some kinda bastard, i.e. womanizer, and alchy... RD jr, could certainly draw on his past for that... I guess I would really like to see someone bigger up there filling those shoes... lol...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) It's painfully clear that this movie won't be able to please everybody. Given the number of itterations that the Iron Man costume has gone through over the decades, this movie will wind up "raping somebody's childhood" in spite of its best intentions. And regardless of the actual content of the movie, you can be sure that you'll hear somebody squawking about it right here on MW. First!

terry the lone wolf Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) AICN is reporting the lead role of Tony Stark aka. Ironman will be played by Robert Downey Jr. IMHO, this is perfect casting. I love all those Toyfare skits of Ironman on the sauce! This sounds sooooooooooooooo crazy that it might be brilliant. RD Jr. can act; Tony Stark was an alcholic womanizer fighting his demons. So that's prolly not that big a stretch for Downey Jr. Also, does anybody know about Blade being cancelled?

Mr March Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Wow. If they are planning to deal with Stark's addictions, Downey is perfectly cast! Not only can the guy really act well, but he's got personal history custom fit to that particular Iron Man story arc. A bold move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only can the guy really act well, but he's got personal history custom fit to that particular Iron Man story arc. A bold move. Word is, they aren't going to focus too much on his addictions in the first movie. That would pick up after the first movie since this is mostly an origin tale.

chrono Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I can't see Jr as Stark. He just doesn't look like a business man nor an arms dealing one. He's always looked like a bug-eyed drug addict to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I can't see Jr as Stark. He just doesn't look like a business man nor an arms dealing one. He's always looked like a bug-eyed drug addict to me. Or the jerk that would pour slurpees on poor helpless geeks at malls. But I think I'd rather have an actor of his talent over an "actor" of questionable talent like Dalton. I'm sure Downey Jr. could pull it off if he set his mind to it. Could you really picture him as a reporter in Good Night and Good Luck? He did a fine job there. I've never been a big fan of Iron Man, so thats the first time I have seen the Ultimates Iron Man, and I love that design. First Iron Man design I can say that catches my eye. Makes me think of Appleseed landmates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Not bad but I've noted it like a lot of cell mixed with CG animation always involves grey outlines. What happen to black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Here's a funny bit of trivia. One of the executive producers for Iron Man is Peter Billingsley, more famously known as Ralphie, the kid who wanted a Red Ryder bb gun in "The Christmas Story". He has moved on from BB guns to a cybernetic powered armor of destruction. That's definitely grown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicKaze Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Tony Stark is a messed up alcoholic who looks like he's sweated up and burned out when he takes off the suit. Downey is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Leader Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 There is one thing, JUST ONE THING, that needs to be done to make this movie perfect. The opening credits start and you hear a slow drum beat start up - Thump... Thump... Thump...Thump... Thump... (Guitar) BWAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM (Iron Man movie title appears on the screen and of course you hear - ) I - AM - IRON - MAN BWAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM Of course I'm talking about using Black Sabbath's Iron Man as the theme song. At the VERY LEAST it's got to be somewhere in the ending credits. Yeah, yeah, I should probably get back to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Max Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Alright, this is shaping up to be a fairly decent flick. It probably won't be the new spiderman that the studio is hoping for but here's hoping for at least a trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronv Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) So anyone watch the recently released The Invincible: Iron Mad animated movie? I just saw it today and while I thought it was much better than the two Ultimate Avengers movie, the animation was kinda faux-Saturday morning-like that didn't feel like a "feature". The trailer made it look like Tony used a lot of the armors but he only had three in the movie, the gray version, underwater and the red/gold. The war machine, ultimate avenger-types shown in the trailer were just shown briefly in a hall of armors. The story seemed a bit rushed trying to fit in the Mandarin plot as well as a company takeover plot/fugitive arc. I do wish Iron Man would've shown a lot more gadgets and weapons though. What I was really impressed with is the Dr. Strange trailer showing the intro to the movie which had a bit tighter animation and better editing. Too bad it doesn't come out til August 07.

Southpaw Samurai Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The trailer made it look like Tony used a lot of the armors but he only had three in the movie, the gray version, underwater and the red/golf. Sorry.. simple typo, but given Tony's lifestyle, it just made me chuckle that he'd have an Ironman suit specifically to play golf with his heroic cronies.... he'd probably need something to help offset Hulk and Thor's driving power..... I agree with your comments on the recent cartoon movie... way too much stuff packed in to the point where nothing really gets a fair shake (or it was just packed in inefficiently). <<<<SLIGHT SPOILERS>>>> One of the only things to really bother me for some reason was his already designed suit collection. Granted, it does explain how he can craft a suit so quickly and also allows him for a few costume changes. But it sort of detracts from his change over into a hero a bit. The change just seemed too weak, quick, and convenient... "Whew... I'm glad I'll never wear that suit again... ooops... we're in trouble... heck, I'll just wear one of my dozens of suits and save the world!" Outside of that, I'd say the only other problems are that the Mandarin gets little actual direct involvement and I probably wouldn't have known the dragon was Fing Fang Foom if he wasn't named somewhere in the supporting material. DID like the elemental design.. .nothing exceptionally innovative, but nice nonetheless. <<<<END SPOILERS>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronv Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I also just realized that in the video Tony Stark is anti-weapons so much that he fights his father regarding the direction of the company in it's militaristic ways, but here he goes and creates dozens of Iron Man armor (for what reason I couldn't understand still) including the missile/gatling gun/rocket launcher War Machine armor. I guess he needed those nukes to help excavate ancient ruins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
