Didn't know that, thats cool he will be in it for a cameo I guess? should be too, anit nobody reppin Starks harder than Ghost.

Yea, seeing as how Dubai is an actual place, and if I remember the trailer correctly, Starks is out in the desert in the middle east somewhere when he gets captured or whatevre. Sorry, I don't really read comics or know the marvel universe so I can't use that as a reference, only the trailer.

He's probably in it just in the beginning when Starks is captured and building the armor or whatever and gets killed with the rest of the camel jockeys when he busts out of his cage and starts to fuck shit up.

[DaDesiCanadian]

Trailer is looking like F4, aka really stupid.

[Zulu]

Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury!!! Damn that's kickass!!!

"I don't want these muthafuckin' terrorist in my muthafuckin' country!!!"

Pff..Nick Fury wanted Samuel L. Jackson to play Nick Fury long before Samuel L. Jackson did.

Ultimate Nick Fury is closely based on Samuel L. Jackson with his approval. In a scene in The Ultimates, the characters discuss the actors they would like to play themselves if they ever made an Ultimates movie. Nick Fury suggests Samuel Jackson. In real life, Jackson will play Fury in the 2008 Iron Man film.

[white shadow]

Pff..Nick Fury wanted Samuel L. Jackson to play Nick Fury long before Samuel L. Jackson did.

I know good sir. But that doesn't mean they were obliged to, or that they would use the Ultimate version. That is why I'm excited.

Ultimate Nick Fury is one of the few Ultimate Marvel characters that looks cool.

I'm looking forward to this movie the most. Everything I've seen from trailers looks really great, and I think Downey Jr. is perfect for the part. I'm using the poster of Iron Man flying near the jets as my desktop.

Well, it looks like they're going with the cheesy jokes and light tone throughout.. something which would work for spiderman, but just doesn't seem to work for Iron Man. I guess Batman Begins just completely spoiled me.

X1 and X2 had the perfect mix of jokes, action and a "dark" side for a comic book movie. Fantastic Four was just ruined by excessive attempts at humour that usually missed, and the whole "WHITE XTREME DUDE!" mentality. Hopefully Iron Man isn't as bad.

Tony starks doesn't take anything seriously he's the life of the party and always in a good mood so "cheesy jokes and a light tone" fit in perfectly with the movie as it did with spiderman who's known to be the wiseass of the marvel universe (next to DD) but when he's in his ironman persona that's when he takes shit seriously. We just didn't get to see much of it in the trailer but from what i saw i know it's gonna be at least a decent movie as long as they don't focus to heavily on his alchy period:wasted:

ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS TONY STARKS...cept not a drunk:rolleyes:

IMO X1 was pretty good but not great while X3 and to a lesser extent X2 were significantly worse, please don't compare these tolerable movies to the shitfest of the FF movies which weren't ruined by excessive attempts at humor but rather everything in ADDITION to it's failed attempts at humor:rofl:

[lamewadd]

The original Avengers team was Hulk, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp and Thor. I can't see an Avengers movie that brings them together being good.

And since we have movies for all of these guys (and Cap), I think that's what will happen.

The Iron Man movie's gonna rock, though.

First superhero movie I'm stoked about. Ironman has always been pretty realistic to me in the sense that he uses technology and not super powers/etc, has/had a drinking problem, and he shoots shit.

EDIT: Robert Downey Jr. is awesome but I am not sure how the rest of the flick will be. For the Dark Knight, all we have to do is hope that Aaron Eckhart is In the Company of Men/Thank You For Smoking Aaron Eckhart and not crappy romantic comedy Aaron Eckart.

Batman isn't some imaginary superhero, as such the movies about him are documentaries. Ironman, on the other hand, is a fictional character.

Ergo, Ironman is the first superhero movie starring a fictional character that I'm interested in watching, and The Dark Knight is a documentary about a real person I'm even more interested in watching.

Ok, I just watched the new trailer and RDjr is awesome as fuck. My only problem with it is that Jeff Bridges teaming up with the Taliban sounds dumb. Heath Ledger Joker > Jeff Bridges with Taliban assist. Jeff Bridges has robot suit, Joker has RPG and lots of mans. Jeff Bridges tries to pull some bs, Joker gives him a Chelsea smile.

Noice, creates some continuity and motivation for their respective fanbase to see both movies.

[Sheng-Long]

Oh ok got it. Wouldn't that mean the cross-over mentionad above wouldn't be possible?

*puts on nerd hat*

Any variation from the "default" Marvel Universe (which they call Earth-616) just means that its occuring in another reality (like say Earth-5, Earth-12 etc). Marvel had a title called "What If?" and each of those occur in an alternate reality each with a designated number. Ultimate Universe in Marvel is an alternate reality where the origins of the characters are different from the ones we know (which is Earth-616).

Now with that multiverse logic system in place, that means that the Iron Man movie reality could be in an alternate universe by itself with its own designated number and with it crossing with the upcoming Hulk movie it means that they share that universe (which is again independent from 616 Universe as both are independent from the Ultimate universe where Nick Fury is black. Nick Fury's blackness is just a coincidence that the Ultimate Univeres and the Ironman/Hulk movie universe share).

glayvin.

We still need a couple more Marvel movies before a decent squad can be formed. Ghost Rider, Daredevil, and Spiderman are such huge loners. That leaves us with whacky Bruce, Tony, and Wolverine (because he is one of the finest leaders of this comic book generation. I know this because he's getting his own show with X-Men as co-stars. Amazing.).

So we need a Captain America movie bad. Avengers are nothing without him. And I think a Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch movie would be interesting if they play on the brother and sister aspect of it. And I think that Hank Pym and his battered and abused wife can have their stories fleshed out in the Avengers movie.

Ah but this is where your reasoning is wrong. Batman has more superpowers than almost any other Superhero. What is Batman's power? His Ninja training? No. His Butler? Maybe a little. The car? In a sense.

Batman's super power is his Money. Batman vs. Superman. Of COURSE Batman wins. Why? Because no matter how powerful Superman is, Batman can buy Kryptonite based paint for the Wayne Manor. He can make a Kryptonite gun/ray/batarang/lightsaber/knife/utility belt/female pleasure toy/ ANYTHING. Superman can do whatever he wants, but he can't beat the bat.

Exact same situation for Iron Man. Instead of a Bat acting ninja, Iron Man is a blacksmithing action movie fan. He has money, he has Metal, he has an alias, and now he has power.... But he couldn't beat the X-Men.

Exact same situation for Iron Man. Instead of a Bat acting ninja, Iron Man is a blacksmithing action movie fan. He has money, he has Metal, he has an alias, and now he has power.... But he couldn't beat the X-Men.

Magneto vs. Iron Man?

WRONG! money isn't his super power, it's fuckin preptime. you need to brush up on your srk tiers and find sept's post detailing batman's one true superpower.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

What makes characters like Ironman, Batman and captain America (CA not as much as IM and BM) stand out is the prep time on everyone and everything. Mixed with tech and hand to hand and billions of dollers, its pretty much a wrap

The Hulk = Gamma ray > steel = man of steel = Super Man = Hulk > Super Man

[lamewadd]

Shit, he probably has an entire suit made out of high impact plastic. GGPO Magneto.

Yar, but Magneto can throw him using the iron in his blood. Iron Man vs. Magneto could go either way, IMO.

IIRC, they actually fought eachother back during Onslaught?

Though it was actually that goofy Magneto clone....

Super Man is broken, he'd arpe the shit out of hulk with heat vision, freeze Breath(not to mention he's stronger than Hulk)

[Nairdas]

^ I don't know about that. World war hulk was broken son. I doubt freeze breath and heat vision would do anything to hulk. And technically Hulk has limitless strength.

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

The way I see it, WWHulk is about on par with Doomsday in terms of strength, if not more so. I think he'd give Superman one hell of a time now.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Sentry is marvel verison of superman.

Hulk>Sentry

Granted if superman just flew around and really fast and punched and shot at hulk he "might" have a chance. But the thing is hulk just gets stronger as he gets more angry. And i think that would just mostly annoy hulk pushing his power and regen up. reall hulk>superman

Superman--real Superman--cannot be beaten.


But that's not what this thread is about, is it?

[FurryCurry]

Superman--real Superman--cannot be beaten.


But that's not what this thread is about, is it?

No it's not. But you need to get off Supe's dick still K. Like really. I do believe that Superman lost against the Hulk in the DC/Marvel crossover. Not to mention that Hulk doesn't have a strength level cap like Superman.

Real talk though, Superman could beat Hulk once he realizes that he can just try and put his ass to sleep. But it make take a few hours before Superman catches on to just "Letting the Hulk chill out."

[goodm0urning]

Such is the pitfall of crossovers. The Marvel Universe and the DC Universe do not follow the same rules, and attempting to reconcile the two is an exercise in futility. Without any real ground rules in place, the outcome of any inter-company crossover depends entirely on the whims of the writer.

Examining the rules as Marvel lays them out, and staying strictly within his own internal logic, there are many situations in which Hulk can be beaten--and sometimes embarrassingly so. Superman in his prime, with the same respect to the rules of his own universe, is rarely given trouble even by enemies who attempt to exploit his obvious weaknesses. It's that simple. Supes, by design, is not meant to be beaten in physical battle. Marvel, for all its flaws, tends to be a little more conscientious with its characters in that respect.

If you're looking at "Superman" post-nerf, of course, the rules are different... but putting a guy in a blue suit and calling him Superman does not make him Superman. You might as well paint Juggernaut green and call him the Hulk.

I agree completely with what you said here. The original Superman was above god Teir.

I think even the current superman would have an advantage strictly because he can survive in outer space, where as hulk would asplode. Supes grabs Hulk flies to outer space and throws him at the sun GG.

Again this detracts from the conversation, so lets get back to how bad ass Iron Man is.

I've decided not to watch anymore trailers and avoid TV spots till the movie comes out.

But wtf dog. Did you not read WW? His first fight took place on the surface of the moon. Of course the Hulk can survive in space. Hulk is an impenetrable ass kicking beast. Shit can the Sun even destroy the Hulk? He may just get mad and super jump off the sun's surface back towards earth.

[goodm0urning]

The Sun doesn't have a surface, per se. Just a very fuzzy boundary where the density of the hydrogen generates sufficient gravity to keep it from expanding forever into space.

Uh, anyway.

Robert Downey Jr. is in this, so you're guaranteed at least a basic level of entertainment. And from the flying shots in the trailer, the director appears to know how to frame action with some visual flair, so it has that going for it.

Maybe it'll even be good.

[Pablo_the_Mex]

I almost started punching myself in the face when I saw IM flying in the trailer. I should not even be so hyped up about that really basic shot, but I am. LETS DO IT.

[EvilSamurai]

Iron Man and Batman are so out-hyping Indiana Jones this year. Spielberg and Lucas should have made it earlier and released it last year when it would have had no real competition.

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

Superherohype.com has a new trailer spot that shows IM doing a Uni-Beam. It was teh fucking hottness.

[BunnyHead]

Did anyone see that advertisement the car?

BOMBASS! This movie is going to be so dope!

[Wild Kitty]

The only thing that bothers me about this movie so far is that cliche scene they show at the end of the trailers where Iron Guy dodges the missile and shoots his own back at the tank thing, then walks away as it blows up. Just screams campy, but as long as the whole movie isn't that, should be fine. But hell, with Downey Jr. playing Mr. 1 hit kill, maybe campy is the way to go.

You can probably bet on seeing War Machine in the next film. This movies going to become a licensing event for Hasbro so they'll do their best to convince which ever person attempts the sequel to make as many armor apperances as possible.

I'm gonna call this a bogus rumor. I heard the same thing last week and someone provided the link to the actual notice by Stan Lee. However, the link said "Fake Stan Lee Blog" so that's a start.

The other reason I think this is bogus is the very thought that Samuel Jackson is somehow incapable of not using 'Fuck' in every piece of script? That's bullshit. The man's a professional and saying he refuses to not edit the dialog is practically an actors suicide.

He didn't drop any f-bombs in Star Wars, did he? The only reason I can really think of them cutting the scene is because of the Hulk. Not saying Hulk appears in it but part of scene supposedly has Fury referring to the Hulk. So maybe it's a licensing issue? Maybe, but I don't believe that Sam Jackson can't read his script without "fuck"ing it up.

[goodm0urning]

Oh yeah what's the rating on this movie? Will it have 'short' sex scenes?PG-13.


I don't actually know that, but come on. It's PG-13.

EDIT:

If Joe Pesci can avoid swears in Home Alone, I'm sure Sam can avoid the F-bomb in Iron Man.

I'm a huge marvel geek, so this movie is really Get Hype for me. I'll be out of school by the time it shows, so I'm going to watch it the first chance I can. I really hope it doesn't turn out like the X-Men movies; I really want to see this one rise above that. But when I saw Iron Man pull of the Uni-Beam in the trailers, I cheered. Good thing I was the only one in the room

(repost from my stupid thread which I made without searching :/)

Can't wait to see it though. Shame that Nick Fury got the can in the Theater release. I wanted my friends to see him so they could go "WTF? Who's he?", and then I'd get to spend a good 15 minutes explaining S.H.I.E.L.D. To them...

You know the first hulk movie wasn't terrible. Mostly just the acting was bad. But the actual story up until the introduction of the father character was cool. Plus ang lee pulled off a better visual style. If the second part of the movie would have been better and better acting it could have been cool.

I'm really hoping that the rumors aren't true that edward norton is pissed at the recut of the film and its actually really good.

Marvel is at least hitting .300.

Blade 2/3, FF2, and Elektra were dumb too.

Hulk wasn't BAD, it just wasn't good, they just made some weird choices for that movie.

Iron Man and Incredible Hulk look good, I am stoked for Iron Man.

[ViciousSLASH]

In the comic book business its "Monkey see, monkey do." DC and Marvel are always copying each others business practices. DC probably would not have planned for future films if Marvel was not doing well.

DC only makes movies with it's big guns.

Marvel lets everyone into the movie atmosphere.

I think they have like 30 projects green lit. Marvel Movie Studios is there main source of money now a days, at least I think it is. Is Marvel owned by some larger company like DC Is owned by AOL/Time Warner?

Remember DC was making good superhero movies before Marvel first made Spiderman. Superman 1 and Batman 1 are classics.

It's not really just comics anymore, almost EVERY new movie was a book or a comic or a play or something.

That is why when their actually is an original movie, they tag it with "ORIGINAL MOVIE" in the trailer because that tag is so rare these days.

[goodm0urning]

Marvel is not contractually obligated to one studio. That's why Spider-Man can be made by Columbia, Hulk can be made by Universal, and so on, whereas all of DC's titles come out under Warner Bros. The pros of Marvel's arrangement, obviously, are that they can shop their properties around for the best deal. The cons are that it makes crossover titles difficult, if not impossible, due to the licenses being spread around so much.

DC's got movies for some of their lesser-known characters in the pipeline. Hopefully they aren't as hard to get made as the newer Superman and Batman movies.

[Taito]

Only thing I hate more than the trend of adapting EVERYTHING for the big screen, is respectable indie directors selling out to do a shitty superhero flick. It's been a pretty sad decade for movies with a few exceptions, and the mega-successes of Spider-Man and LotR are to blame.

Good for DC. I totally can't wait for the Mister MIRACLE MOVIE.

I think with the newest batch of big time Marvel movies, starting with Iron Man/Hulk, Marvel is going to have the heroes appear in each movie.

Samuel L is supposed to appear in Iron Man as Nick Fury, Robert Downey will be in the Hulk, and eventually they are going to be making an Avengers movie. If all the movies are X2/Spidey 2 level of good I'm all for it.

Niggas gotta eat. Respectable Indie Directors probably hate all the fans who are like "You sold out man!"

I've always loved the whole sell out/non sell out argument.

LotR has pretty much set the bar for any book based in a fantasy setting. It WILL have lots and lots of special effects, it WILL be almost 3 hours long each movie, and there WILL be THREE movies at LEAST.

If you're Movie can't be made into a trilogy, your movie ain't shit.

[goodm0urning]

I wouldn't want to cry sell-out. I know that if I were to sit in the director's chair, I would direct smaller, more manageable films, but I don't know that I could say no if Warners came along and dangled the license for Superman in front of me. It would be incredibly tempting.

If a director like Sam Raimi can come along and do a respectable job on Spider-Man, then I'd rather him do it than, say, McG or Michael Bay.

[Tizoc]

Problem with DC is that the general audience probably don't know jack squat about any of the DC characters outside of Batman, Superman,Wonderwoman,Flash, and Green Lantern.

So while Marvel can take a chance and make movies like Blade and The Punisher, I really don't see people lining up by the droves wanting to see a Mister Miracle movie or a Booster Gold movie.

[DannyCat]

Just saw the movie, and yes, it's worth the price. Personally, my favorite comic movie since Spider-Man 2. Maybe even including that; Tony Stark gets much more entertaining lines than Spidey got in his entire trilogy.

Don't go in expecting Iron Man Iron Man Iron Man Iron Man. This is a Tony Stark movie, and he spends a lot more time out of the armor than in it. Not to mention it's not fully designed and ready to go until a good ways into the film; this is an origin story. But don't worry, he makes up for it just by being Tony Stark.

And, there's no Proton Cannon. Maybe next time.

[Wil]

Any smart bombs or infinite/reset?

[FurryCurry]

Tomato critic review scores are high right now. Only 2 rotten out of 28 reviews.

Sounds like the movie is...

1) All about Downey as Stark.
2) All about Downey and Bridges competing.
3) All about Downey and Pots goofing off together.
4) All about Downey becoming Ironman
5) Downey times ten!

No one has really mentioned Jim Rhodes yet but hell he's only so important in the comics/cartoons that it doesn't shock me that he's not being mentioned that much. Can't wait to see the sequel when he inevitably becomes War Machine.

but I bet it will be too packed, I'm hearing alot of good things too.:tup:
Too packed? But that's the best way to see a film like this. If you want to see it with some room, you can always wait a couple weeks or find a showing at a non-packed time of day, but opening weekend only opens once.

Any smart bombs or infinite/reset?

...doesn't have either exactly, but he does have weaponry that pops out of the same smart bomb-location shoulder launchers. Much faster than the game's.

Problem with DC is that the general audience probably don't know jack squat about any of the DC characters outside of Batman, Superman,Wonderwoman.


Fixed.

[maxx]

Fixed.

even wonderwomans pushing it..since mainstream got their wonder woman info from cartoon/tv series.

Does this movie have Black Sabbath's Iron Man as teased in the trailers?

[DannyCat]

Does this movie have Black Sabbath's Iron Man as teased in the trailers?Heard some of it at the credits.

Speaking of credits, wait for what comes after them.

[Tizoc]

^FUCK I KNEW HE WAS GONNA APPEAR AFTER THE CREDITS!
Anyway watched the movie yesterday and it was great, but the ending was...well it could've gone for another 30 minutes (totalling at 2:30 for the movie).
Overall I give it 4 out of 5.

1- Action was EXCELLENT, if you like IronMan beating the living hell out of ppl this movie has it
2- Iron Monger was kickass as well, but I was dissapointed as to how he was defeated
3- You know that part where Yinsen took a gun and ran outside firing randomly? Surprise surprise; homage to the first comic appearance of Tony and Ironman where Yinsen (chinese dude) did the same thing to buy time for Tony to put on the suit
4- The arabic in this movie was great, not lame like in some other movies
5- The credit had Iron Man song by B. Sabbath but only music :( Today's youth have no understanding of the awesomeness of 70-80s Metal
6- Rhodes character's voice....is weak, but we'll see how good he does War Machine in the future
^That's just the gist of it.
The movie WILL ENTERTAIN YOU, but you'll be left wanting more or for it to have changed a little bit of it.
WATCH THIS SUCKA WHEN YOU CAN IN THEATRES!

[Will Gotti]

Don't worry, niggas still got paid. Pay or play FTMW.

So is this bonus scene at the very END of the credits?

I'm guessing yes, just like X-men 3 had a scene after the credits.

[DannyCat]

I'm guessing yes, just like X-men 3 had a scene after the credits.Yup, it's at the very end of all the credits. Sit and see who the Second Second Assistant Director is. Also, look for a guy in the cast named Ahmed Ahmed playing a character named Ahmed. That must have been convenient.

[Biolink]

I haven't been this pumped for a Blockbuster movie EVER.

Despite what's going on in the comics with Pro-Registration and what not,Iron Man has always been my favorite super hero.

[RockBogart]

Yes, you have to sit through 4 min of names in order to see you know what.

Movie was great. This is how I rank the Marvel Films

Iron Man/Spider Man 2, Spiderman 1/Blade 1, The Hulk, the rest

[GeoG2]

Every Marvel movie after Spider-Man 2 has been a heap of pop culture bastardized crap... so I'm not really looking forward to it much.

I think Spidey 3 ruined my perception of Marvel flicks forever. I pray that new Hulk movie doesn't suck..

This movie sorta has the feel of Batman Begins. You see Stark find himself, his purpose, etc. Anything over the top that you see in the movie, is shit that you would see him do in the comic. The one thing they don't touch on that I heard will be brought up in the next film, is Stark's alcoholism. They brought up a few times he was wasted but that was it.

Just saw it, movie was excellent. Didn't know about the ending credits though....SOB...

I liked them, but they weren't as good as the ones I mentioned.

really? I thought they were better than Hulk at least, IMO.

[hobbes8548]

Damn this movie is fucking awesome. Gotta agree with one of the earlier posters ranking this as one of the best comic book movies I've seen.

[RockBogart]

Well I liked Hulk because it captured the issues that Bruce Banner deals with. With the amount of characters that the X-men have, that type of detail isn't possible without neglecting a lot of the others. The first two films were too centered around Wolverine at times. He is my favorite X-man, I just didn't think it was appropriate for the film. Go read "Kick Ass" issue 1, they spend a page talking about comic translation to film.

[gbursine]

this movie looks good.

original live action captain america movie is top tier among marvel movies. go look for the vhs bitches and educate!

Valid points. Yet I couldn't really get into Hulk really. It was okay but I guess I just had more expectations of more HULK SMASH! I expected a more typical hero affair.

Really great movie.

Is it really worth watching?

yes.


tony gets home at night and is greeted by a shadowy figure in the distance. discussion is close to this but not exact, the audience was too busy cheering when they saw what was going on.

shadowy figure: "I am Iron Man" - you're acting like the only superhero out there.

tony: who are you?

shadowy figure steps into the light to reveal an eyepatched samuel L jackson

nick fury: nick fury, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm here to tell you about the Avengers initiative.


awesome. awesome to the max

[elitericerocket]

Best fucking movie I've seen in awhile. Damn that shit was entertaining.

[Biolink]

[KillerKai]

I better see the fucking IM Infinite canceled into a proton cannon on the side of a building

[Rengoku]

AWESOME movie
can't wait for the DVD so i can watch it with original language (the italian dub was ok but i think that english will absolutely kick ass)

can't wait for the hulk movie too

[ElderGOD]

I better see the fucking IM Infinite canceled into a proton cannon on the side of a building

They could have at least released the movie on a Sunday and have a War Machine take out Protttoooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnn CANNON!

LOl nice marvel quote.

Going to see it tomorrow! It's MAHVEL BABY

[FallingEdge]

Movie was dope. Loved it.

[AmbiguousCrosup]

Saw it, Intel paid for it, loved it.

Sam Jackson scene, It pretty much set up either a Civil War Movie or an Avengers movie.

Question for those who saw it. Any ideas who that reporter chick could really be?

[Tizoc]

Surprised no one commented on the UNIBEAM!
