I've always had a thing for Robert Downey Jnr. Are you excited? http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/movies/reviews/article.aspx?cp-documentid=790200 3 | ||

Um, I've never had a thing for the dude, but I'm excited about this movie! You can see the full trailer here: http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/02/28/another-full-iron-man-trailer-launches-ho ly-sht/ This one looks great !! | ||

It does. And while I am looking forward to the Hulk film I don't like the look of the Hulk himself; he looks like he might be some band member, a bit too cool. The first had an innocent look that I felt appropriate. | ||

I too admire Robert Downey Jnr, Ally. Anyone brave enough to undergo all that plastic surgery deserves some degree of recognition. | ||

This looks like it could be fun. I wonder if Iron Man will turn into an alcoholic like he did in the comics. They'll probably save it for the sequel. | ||

What do you mean: nothing to do with Ted Hughes? Sigh. | ||

Does he become an alcoholic through drinking too much Iron Brew? | ||

Does he understand iron-y? | ||

I don't know, but he gets annoyed if his beer doesn't taste enough of it | ||

I never dug IRON MAN that much. He seemed to have a heart attack every other issue of the comic run. | ||
| Albie (Albie) Username: Albie Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.195.236.131 |
Yeah, just like every issue Spiderman would think he had something caught in his throat. "It's an EGG! I've got an egg in my throat!" Stan Lee insisted on it though. | ||
| Mark_lynch (Mark_lynch) Username: Mark_lynch Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 212.74.96.200 |
Excellsior! Or something. Actually, Spider-Man seemed to lose his powers every other issue. | ||
| Albie (Albie) Username: Albie Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.195.244.67 |
Because of the egg? | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 212.121.214.11 |
Did anyone else think that spidey 2 the film was too close to the plot od the Chris Reeves Superman 2? Switch the villain(s) of the piece and the storyline is almost identical. I want to see the mutation increase in number 4 and he starts turning into a giant spider... I know they've done it in the comics at least once. it'd be fun to see it on the big screen | ||
| Albie (Albie) Username: Albie Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 195.195.236.131 |
The lack of mention of the egg in part 2 did seem odd. But you are right, it was Superman 2. I think Raimi admitted it, just after he cut the egg in throat sequence. | ||

I went to see Iron Man today and thought it was pretty good (at least as good as Spidey). Robert Downey Jr. is very good in the lead role, and a very bald, weird-looking Jeff Bridges is fun too. | ||

Spoilerish bits; Fave bits were at the beginning, though, with the guy helping him in the tunnel. It was quite moving, that stuff, and more intense than what came later. I also loved the bit where he flew over to Afghanistan and started fighting a real enemy instead of a superbaddy. | ||

"I also loved the bit where he flew over to Afghanistan and started fighting a real enemy instead of a superbaddy." Iron Mans a NeoCon! | ||

>>I also loved the bit where he flew over to Afghanistan Tony, did the film-makers make the same mistake WHO only recently seems to have rectified and have the opposite sides of the world in daylight at the same time? | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.129.20.239 |
Actually, no, they didn't! | ||

haha and you forgot the ry from angry. Twice. And Lee is my cousin. Do you know him? I saw SPIDERMAN 3 yesterday. It was a lie. There were only two Spidermen in it! | ||

Yes, they had explosions. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.84.68 |
Liked it. Actually I was quite horrifed by the attack on the cars at the beginning and was drawn in quite quickly. However - it was in the 'special studio' Vue, with beanbag chairs, harder couches and backrow comfy seats. Before I could protest my hubs had bought 2 adults and 1 child tickets for £19.50 with seat allocation on the back row. To add to the injury the seats were behind loads of kids in an empty cinema. Thought about it for a second and moved my daughter and myself to the harder couches away from the riff raff. Stubborn hubs refused to move. Usual cost £6.15 but back seats over £7. Someone is taking the whatsit. Next time it will be my lovely Penistone Paramount at £4.50 :>) | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.145.131.242 |
I've been in those seats in Gateshead. They have this 'sit where you're put' system which I also hate, and I always move somewhere else once the film starts. To my mind, if you are in the queue first you can sit where you want! | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.84.68 |
Exactly Tony - it is rubbish! Get there early, pay more and still cannot choose. I really hate it. | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.145.131.242 |
It's cos they have this idea the place will fill up, and they want everyone to move along and use every seat. As if that will ever happen. | ||

Ally :'Liked it. Actually I was quite horrifed by the attack on the cars at the beginning and was drawn in quite quickly.' Thats what I thought. That scene was terrifying. I also liked this film alot- more entertaining than previous blockbusters this season- certainly much better than the whole Transformers thing. Those opening scenes made me wonder if this picture was a little too much for a younger audience. I kept thinking Macgyver when I watched this film- the cave scenes- lets build a tank with a piece of string and a blowtorch... | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.95.223 |
... yes - terrifying. I managed to suspend my disbelief in the cave scenes then I was fine with the whole film :>) | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.147.51.96 |
My only quibble was that the big character arc happened to early. After he got out of the cave it sort of felt like a post-script. But I did like it. | ||

I enjoyed IRON MAN. I seem to like/prefer the first episodes of super hero stories because I really enjoy the origin tales. Once they get going, they always seem to forget about story and just focus on action, which frankly bores me. I may be in the minority, but I loved Spidy 1 and really disliked Spidy 2. Had zero desire to see 3. | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.44.96.248 |
3 was a nightmare. Iron Man ran out of steam after he got away from the cave. | ||

Someone should make a movie about a superhero who loses his powers and has to become normal. | ||

Oliver Stone is making it right now, and he hopes it will be ready just in time for the US presidential elections | ||

| Karim Ghahwagi (Karim) Username: Karim Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 83.92.216.182 |
Just kidding Tony: Stone is making a biopic about George W Bush. You know Watchmen which just finished shooting sort of has the theme you mention above as part of its narrative. |
