Title: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: EasyCure on May 03, 2008, 02:51:43 PM
Did anyone else see it?
I saw it opening night and it was great. It played on the biggest screen in the theatre and was just an awesome experience. Now i'll admit, I never read the comics and I didn't know much about any of the characters so my impressions aren't that of an Iron Man fan, so maybe someone else will have different thoughts on the film. As far as a superhero story/action film, it was really good. The action was sweet, the effects were damn good and not once did i feel like i was watching blatantly obvious CGI. The film had some really funny moments, almost all from Robert Downey Jr's great performance.
I recommend seeing it, if only for an awesome cameo appearance from a certain little white box we're all familiar with. Maybe it was just me but it was just funny to see a all of Tony Starks high-tech stuff littering his mansion and then a Wii sitting under his huge tv towards the end of the film. But seriously though, I recommend seeing it if you want to watch a cool flick with some friends.
(Minor spoilers ahead, no details though)
Also if you're a big comic fan you might want to pay special attention to what a certain character has to say right before the movies finale. I didn't get where the gasp from all the nerds came from since I wasn't familiar with the phrase uttered but it hints at a special scene after the credits roll that you might want to stick around for.

There is a special scene after the credits roll, and it shouldn't be spoiler tagged as anyone seeing the movie HAS to see it. No exceptions.
Anyway, the movie was fantastic. Super-hero movies seem to just be getting better and better.

Good movie. Not spectacular, but very well done. Funny. Great to see that Robert Downey Jr. has made a triumphant comeback. Love Gwyneth Paltrow.

Well my car broke down yesterday so I didn't get to go see it, had to find an um, alternative method, so I didn't get the full experience. I liked it a LOT better than I had anticipated having been afraid Robert Downey JR would ruin the character, but he actually pulled it off a lot better than I had expected. Makes me want to go Monday and watch it legitimately as to see this extra scene being discussed. That and give Marvel their much deserved money for a job well done.

Afraid of Robert Downey Jr.? I honestly think he is perfect for the role, and I probably wouldn't have seen it without his inclusion. He's a fantastic actor and he can relate so well to Stark's character. Also yeah I enjoyed the film.

Then you guys must be happy to hear he's signed up for 2 sequels as well as a cameo in another upcoming Marvel Movie (which might also tie in to the special scene found at the end of Iron Man)

I hope they have Gyneth Paltrow and Terence Howard locked in too!
Also, this was a real great role for Jeff Bridges. He's a great Obadiah Stane.

Yeah the movie was fantastic, and the ending credit scene has to be one of the greatest ever done (certainly more satisfying then the one with X-Men Last Stand).

lol i was one of the 4 people in the audience who got the Shield reference, and right before i was wondering what happened to the Nick Fury role Sam Jackson was going to play.
I was never really into the comics, but i used to collect the toys, and trading cards so i had a basic idea of character. Like Rhodes is War Machine.

I got to re-watch it today properly and with the scene, and it is about time Marvel starts linking their movies together like the comics. Elektra showing up in Daredevil was not good enough.

You need to stay until after the credits.

Yeah and I wasn't the only one, aside from my 1 die hard Iron Man fan friend everyone I know was worried he would ruin the movie, or at least hurt it some. Maybe easy to play a millionaire as he *is* one but an action star, he hasn't been good at any movie I have seen. Plus not being a fan of the actor much I really didn't care to see him in the movie. But after watching it he came through and I was really surprised.
But I am one of those people who will refuse to watch a movie if an actor I despise is in it, not that I despise Robert Downey JR, he was in one of my all time favorite movies.

What was that movie he was in where he plays a kid who's posessed by the dead husband of the mom of the girl he's going out with?
Anyways, I really wasn't excited by the "secret" after the credits. Some secrets bits after credits seal off the ending, some are just awesome, but this one was... BAH. It was just TWO LINES, NO ACTING, 8 SECONDS LONG, and NOT AT ALL A WAY TO CAP OFF A MOVIE. rant over.

I did stay after the credits, and the funny thing was my roomate, who was drunk was like Sombody needs to get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane! and everyone in the theater laughed.
Oh and did anyone else notice how similar Iron Man's Hud was similar to Samus's. It also makes you realize a Metroid Movies is possible. Since Samus and Iron Man's suit are not that different.
cute cosplayer, but her costume isn't on par with what a movie version should look like.
Title: Re: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: nickmitch on May 04, 2008, 05:44:51 PM
Their suits may be similar, but Samus generally stars in her game by her self. Aside from Fusion, Metroid gams don't have dialogue or many other characters.
Title: Re: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: ThePerm on May 04, 2008, 06:33:19 PM
fusion and prime 3, im saying it would be visually done, but the script would be hard however.
In a movie you can add characters, but don't make them geeky. I want a metroid made with the tone of 28 days later, the feel of a kubrik movie, and the look of iron man/aliens.
I've done alot of writing, mostly comedy/horror in the last couple months. I'd like to tackle a Zelda and Metroid script. Myself, I would really be concerned about the end product. It can't be some video game to movie p.o.s., it has to be a great movie in its own right, even a classic. It has to make people think at the end. It has to visually be something new, something that will get copied repeatedly. I'm against cramming(shoving everything into one movie), the movies have to be written with sequals in mind. 1to 3. In fact if i were to make a Meroid movie Samus probably would appear in the middle of the movie. No exposition, at least in the first movie. Origins could be handled in the second movie.

I don't think a Metroid movie would be that hard to make, as long as you didn't directly relate it to a particular game. However, I think a lot of the potential "good ideas" would be seen as Aliens rip-offs. So yeah, you could go the marine deployment route, or you could take it in a direction where the Metroid take over a populated (preferably human) world and Metroid swoops in to save the day, which would allow for development of the population before and survivors after... although that's a plotline that doesn't really match up with any of the games. Either way, there is stuff to work with there as long as one isn't opposed to a movie that's a stark departure from what the games represent. (Ridley would be a must in any circumstance)
Title: Re: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: animecyberrat on May 04, 2008, 07:52:10 PM
I'm surprised everyones comments are all about the one scene at the end, and nothing about the actual movie itself.
On a Metroid Movie, how can we trust Nintendo to get even that right? I can see it now, they get Hilary Duff to play Samus. Ridley would be played by Dustin Hoffman and would be a down on his luck salesman trying to take over the world with magic "Metroid" bubblegum. The action/special effects would be Spy Kids quality at best. And it would have to be semi "educational" as well as completely liberal feminist influenced. It would shoot for a PG rating because PG-13 is too "grown up" by Hollywood standards for a movie based on a Nintendo game. Oh and the B-52's would be in charge of the soundtrack. As lame as that sounds I think it might work.

With the new baby and the lost of the one work mate I know I could get to go with me at lunch this movie is going to be hard for me to see this movie.
On a Metroid Movie they should just explore the part you never see in the game. Regular bounty hunting.
Title: Re: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: ThePerm on May 04, 2008, 08:05:12 PM
How about the movie starts off on a space station. There are scientists and their examining specimens that they caught from a near by planet. All hell breaks loose as the specimens break out. Everyone on the vessel dies. A space federation envoy with a group of mercenaries is sent to investigate the space station, and one of them doesn't talk. Everyone is referred to by a designation number.
thats what i got before, its a combination of Super Metroid and Aliens. I can imagine it being goofy, i'll work out the kinks.

Perm, it'd be awesome if you'd make a new thread just all about how to tackle the Metroid movies.
Title: Re: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: animecyberrat on May 04, 2008, 08:47:03 PM
IF the movie is called Metroid it should be about METROIDS and that needs to be clear and consistant. Otherwise people will think Samus *is* Metroid like they already do and the movie would be totally confusing to them.
BTW my official review for the movie for my blog is going up tonight. If you have a myspace the link is in my sig. If not, the link is still in my sig. Anyone who wants to post a counter review or whatever feel free to do so.

i completely agree with you. Once he built the Mk II and onward i had to stop myself from thinking of how good a Metroid movie would be. I can't believe i didnt bring it up in my initial post because it was one of the key things i wanted to talk about (considering this is still a nintendo forum) but i'm glad someone else brought it up.
Title: Re: Iron Man (The Movie)
Post by: nickmitch on May 05, 2008, 01:37:36 AM
A Metroid Movie would be better focused on Samus growing up among the Chozo. The movie wouldn't have to be entirely about that, but it'd be nice. To go on what Perm was saying earlier and having Samus come in the middle of the movie, having the movie be about the space marines would actually work. They could be at war with the Metroids and the movie could go from there with various flashbacks.

I saw the movie this weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hoping for an Ed Norton cameo. but Samuel Jackson works just as well. It took a while for me to realize it was Jeff Bridges (I didn't know much about the film before going in). I still have doubts over the following Hulk film. But if this leads to an Avengers film, then there's no excuse for not having a Justice League movie.
The film surprised by way of how many laughs it got. I was not expecting some of those moments.
The Batman trailer in front of Iron Man was terrific. I hadn't seen anything before hand. I'm looking forward to it.

well The Incredible Hulk will have a cameo from a certain iron clad super hero from what i've read on the interwebz, so there ya go. I guess that'll tie more into the Avengers film.
They didnt play the batman trailer before the movie when i saw it, the best looking trailer was for "Don't Mess With Zohan" the new Adam Sandler flick, which actually looks pretty funny. I'm getting sick of the Batman trailer only becuase I've seen it so many times and just want to see the damn film already.
As for the laughs in Iron Man, one of my favorite moments was in the private jet, and all the interactions with Tony's robots were awesome.

Well that's in Warner's court. They have been trying to make a Wonder Woman movie for awhile, but the dismal performance of Catwoman seems to have scared them away from doing another female superhero flick. So we have Batman and Superman movies... and that's it. There is no way you can make a Justice League movie and expect to develop a whole cast of never before seen heroes with different origins as to their powers (X-Men can get away with this as they are all mutants, but even then the first only had five main figures).
Marvel has gotten into film making with the Avengers as a goal, so we will probably see that pay off soon. Beyond Hulk later this year, we already have Iron Man 2 dated for 2010 along with Thor for that same year, and then 2011 will have Captain America and later Avengers that same year. This also creates a problem for DC, as if they try to lead in with the Justice League movie too soon it will be seen as a "me too!" maneuver by movie goers after the Avengers.

I think it is funny when studios get "ansy" about making a movie because a widely criticized and SUCKY movie came before it. Maybe, just maybe people didn't see a movie like Catwoman because it was horrible and has nothing to do with a female superhero.

I'm all for all of these. The problem with a Justice League movie is that even the cartoons have to introduce all the extras. I might now about everyone in the Justice League but, most people don't. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and even the Flash but, once you get out of there its a lot hairy.

It wasn't just Catwoman, likely, although that was their own effort to expand beyond DC heroes not named Batman or Superman. Elektra also did really bad at the box office.
The problem, though, is that in both of these cases those movies were pretty terrible... but studios rarely like to connect the dots like that, and therefore assume that it's simply a marketplace that is uninterested in heroine helmed films instead.

Post by: EasyCure on May 05, 2008, 09:04:43 PM
This is just me but, I don't think I could watch a super-hero movie based on a team or group like the Justice League or The Avengers. I feel like it takes away from what makes a super hero special. I think Ian might of said something similiar to this in another thread, but the idea of having multiple people performing extraordinary feats is pretty lame compared to ONE guy/girl that can do amazing things like fly or sling webs and everyone else is just normal. Obviously the villans can have some sort of power too but i think you get my point. I thought the Fantastic Four sucked, but its not JUST because of the team of super-heroes.. it just plain sucked lol.
X-Men would be the exception to how i feel however. I enjoyed all those movies. The fact that their are regular humans and than mutants is the big difference here. You don't have to go into complicated origin stories or any thing like that, nothing cheesy either. Also they didn't over do it with each character using their powers which kept the movie from being a lame special effects fest.

I concur, and Marvel seems to be aware of this, which is why they are making a movie of each member of the Avengers before the movie itself so they don't have to try to juggle developing a ton of heroes at once.
Also they didn't over do it with each character using their powers which kept the movie from being a lame special effects fest.
I don't know. I think this would depend on who the adversary is. I could really enjoy a epic and flashy battle, but the villain has to be able to give the team a run for their money. For example, I would love to see someone like Ultron taking on the Avengers on the big screen:
However, I would prefer they avoid doing a super hero team versus a super villain team type of scenario... as that would be hard to juggle with pacing, plus I have always been a larger fan of the omnipotent villain style of arcs.

He is similar to Apocalypse in that he feels his own identity is superior to the other (in this case organic life). So he tries to eradicate that which is different, much like Apocalypse is focused on destroying humankind for his "survival of the fittest" philosophy. What makes Ultron interesting, though, is that he was actually created by Hank Pym of the Avengers to work with them, even giving the creature a similar thought process to Pym's, but to his surprise he went rogue and has been one of the team's biggest and constant threats as he has become quite powerful (although currently he's more involved with the space side of things).

I loved Elektra, but Catwoman was awful. I think Avengers is likely because Marvel is on top of things right now and even one or two flops here and there isn't going to slow down their momentum one bit.
So far out of the Marvel movies I have seen, Daredevil is the only one I flat out hated. Everything else was either pretty good, or at least watchable, ok I lied I had issues with Spider-Man 3, but those were things Marvel/Sony couldn't help.

Well, after the banner weekend Iron Man enjoyed, they dated the Avengers for 2011 (same year as Captain America)... so unless something happens, it's a lock to occur down the road.

Saw this. Thought it wasn't bad. Seemed like the pacing was bad, started out slow. Had a some corning dialog too. Couple of nitpicks:
- That shrapnel bomb should have made a bigger explosion rather than a barely grenade sized explosion. - Gweneth at the end presses that button that blows up the "roof" well the whole building blows up, even out the door. But some how she's right next to Robert 30 seconds later.
Overall good movie. 8/10. Betcha it'll be one of those though, that will be worse out of the theater.

Was that directed at me? I thought my nitpicks were valid.
As valid as any nitpick is about a movie that defies all forms of reason.
But who thinks a bomb the size of three footballs is going to barely blow up into the size of a grenade explosion, in the future? It is still a valid nitpick.

I went looking for nudie shots on the Internets. She's ok, not great, but ok. Though this movie has her looking extremely hot for some reason.
Oh yeah, I went and saw the film again. I think the pacing is fine. Definately does not feel like 2 hours spent in a chair staring at a giant screen.
Cuz she knows how to take orders. Oh yes, i went there if you're reading this, sorry GP
I dont see what all the fuss is about the pacing either, i thought it was fine really.

Whatever I'm an asshole of a movie critic anyway. I'll just see the movie again. My other points still stand though.

My personal theory is that Pepper Potts is some unique foil to Tony Stark, the Amrican Industrialist Superman.
As Easycure pointed out, she basically does everything that Tony Stark asks for, this mythical super-secretary, yet she's at the same time emotionally and romantically unavailable.
She's like Moneypenny. But like...super-charged.

Moneypenny wasn't hot though, like ever.
And i dont see her in a similar role because she was almost always drooling for James, and James doesn't care cuz he gets to shoot his gun off with everyone (i'm still waiting for them to admit he's STD ridden)

I always thought that Moneypenny was the only one who ever dealt with James on an equal footing.
