    I'm guessing that after the credits of each of the movies leading up to the Avengers movie, we're going to see Nick Fury recruiting the character. And it will be AWESOME.

    But yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the best superhero movie they've done so far, followed by the first Spiderman. Frankly, if I lived in the Marvel universe, and was a criminal, the moment I saw Iron Man's picture in the paper, I'd say "screw it", and do something else. That mask would be scary as hell.

    Over $200 million worldwide in its first weekend. Pretty impressive considering its entire production budget was only $140 million.

    If they make the Nick Fury movie be an Ultimate Nick Fury story, it cannot possibly fail. Ultimate Nick Fury is like the baddest ass completely normal man in the Marvel Universe.

    That's why we got Sam Jackson in the movie.

    Edit -
    My wife asked me if that was Nick Fury when the S.H.I.E.L.D guy asked Pepper for an appointment. I told her no, because Fury is bad-ass. I was right. She doesn't read comics, so cut her some slack.

    Ultimate Nick Fury is not better than regular Nick Fury.

    They are about equal footing, although considering what happaned to Ultimate Fury in Ultimate Power and Fury's impending return in Secret Invasion the regular Fury is about to pull ahead.

    No. No I won't. Cause she fucking talked during the movie

    I went on friday afternoon to see it, and I got seated next to a couple and their children. And from the beginning they started talking. I did a 'ssh', "SSH", to "Can you please shut up?" There's no reason to talk during a movie. Nonewhatsoever.

    But man was Iron Man good. I kinda wished I hadn't been spoiled months ago about you know who showing up, but still, awesome moment. It's funny, cause when people started to leave during the credits, I kinda wanted to say "wait, don't go! something cool's going to happen!" But I didn't.

    Which Nick Fury said, "I'm wondering that when I get to up those pearly gates is God going to put up a fight, or just move over and let me sit down?"

    This movie was pretty kick as but one thing really confused me...why the hell did the terrorists keep switching languages from Arabic to Hindi to some other language. Also, the captions for the most part were inaccurate, though they got the general dialog across.

    Just looking at the 'we were all invited to talk about the plot' posts Millar and Bendis have put up, and from the looks of things Mandarin was supposed to be the original villain and Stane was going to be the bad guy in the sequel. I guess ol' Ten Rings will be in the next one, so the only question is how much money will it take to get Jet Li to play him?

    Fuck, no. Jet Li still can't enunciate english words properly. I'm Chinese myself and it still makes me cringe when he has english-speaking roles.

    This reminded me of RDJ's next role in Tropic Thunder. It brought a smile to my face to think of the Hoff done up in a similar fashion.

    Iron Man was definitely a good film. Head and shoulders above most superhero films. I don't know if I would say it was truly a GREAT film, but it was enjoyable.

    And the casting was pure genius.

    I have no complaints about the movie, which is quite unique when it comes to superhero films.

    Now, we all know how badass it was to see Tony Stark mistaking Stan Lee for Hugh Hefner. Easily one of, if not Stan's best cameo.

    But did anyone besides me catch in the credits:

    "Stan Lee as Himself"

    Fuck.

    Yes.

    On a related note, imagine Marvel's first buddy movie, starring Ultimate Nick Fury (Samuel L.), and Stan Lee.

    Some things in this world are so epic, a man CANNOT think on them without cumming immediately.

    Totally awesome movie, the only complaint I have is I think they went a little over the top with the whole "millionaire playboy" thing at the beginning, it was fine and then that stripper pole rising out of the floor of his private plane just nudged it over the hill.

    I hope the Wolverine movie is of this caliber, X3 makes me worry though. But I mean come on, they're putting Deadpool in it so it can't be terrible.

    I really wish everyone who thinks X3 was terrible could see all the deleted scenes.

    They don't make the movie incredible, but they make it consistent and fix the most major flaws (pacing and plot continuity).

    There were scenes that explained where the brotherhood have been since X2, and what they've been doing. There were more scenes that presented and explained the development and production of the cure. There was a scene or two of beast actually doing sciency-things, and some more of him kicking ass. There were a bunch of scenes of altered dialog or extended battles that just made things flow so much better.

    But the absolute best was the most radically different ending:
    Wolverine decides that he wants to stay and help continue the X-men, but after all that's happened, he's too shook up to stay. So he leaves, and reverts to his old self, ending up back at the bar from the first film.

    A good movie was shot and processed, but it was edited into a broken film.


    Where are you getting your information from? I actually know "someone" who worked on the film and actually saw a pre-theatre cut of the film with a different ending and that wasn't what I saw.

    Sorry to derail, I'm just curious.

    This film is fucking fantastic. Favourite comic book film to date? Very much so.

    There were only like 10 people in the 450 capacity room (to be fair it was the earliest screening sunday morning) a couple of whom were obviously comics geeks, but only me and the three friends I brought along stayed till after the credits because I had read about it and told them to wait because I wanted to see it.

    So worth it.

    Marvel this morning released its First Quarter 2008 numbers this morning, and along with them, news that officially, an Iron Man sequel is slated for 2010 along with Thor, and two “Avenger-themed” movies in summer of 2011: Captain America (May) and The Avengers (July).

    Oh lord, oooooooh lord. Please, Marvel, please!

    Went and saw it again yesterday with another group, ended up going to a more expensive VIP cinema where we can order food and drink booze with the movie (drunk. The tony stark way to do this viewing!).

    Other then the 16 year olds running the bar like it was a McDonalds ("ughh...so you want 2 shots of southern comfort, umgh...whats in that again? maaannn where do we keep those small glasses") there was one bonus, the air conditioning failed in the theater during the movie and it got kinda annoying with the leather layzboy seats but this resulted in the manager giving everyone free passes to come back again. Booyah, Iron Man is an awesome movie, but FREE Iron Man is even better.
