I haven't heard almost anyone say a word about IRON MAN in my 25 years of living, but now that there is a movie based on this character that nobody ever talked about, a lot of people are very excited and such. I just can't get excited for a movie that a ton of other people are just suddenly ecstatic about.
-
from the comics? Should I know that?
-
We are officially excited... I don't need to see any more pics. I just want to be blown away when I am sitting in the cinema with my popped corn and carbonated beverage!
-
That's the big deal, you really nailed it.
-
Just crawl out from under the rock did you? Go to wikipedia.
-
. . . and you know it'll happen just like evolving the Bat suit. They will not leave it alone from sequel to sequel.
-
Ironman has a funny level of fame. If you are a core comics fan, it's second nature for you to know him and you are shocked if someone doesnt know him. But he's never permeated the greater public consciousness the way Spider-man, Superman, Batman and Hulk have. Non-comic fans have literally no idea that Ironman exists. I learned this when I told some friends about the Ironman movie in a voice that was like "Hey they're doing an Ironman movie, isnt that cool" and they were like "whats ironman?" "a movie about triathlons?" "huh?" It was an eye opener. Certain musicians get a similar reaction. Basically Ironman is famous the same way Tom Waits and Elvis Costello are famous.

The new Dark Knight/Joker pics are way better. http://tinyurl.com/2gfgzs

No steel ripped abs? What have superhero movies come to?
-
Are they in this movie? Which one plays Iron Man?
-
God, this thing looks like a stupid toy commercial. Such lame plasticy designs.
-
It had to be said. Boycott Iron Man! The Marvel shit must be stopped!
-
I'm pretty sure nobody else has even mentioned either of those two musical artists on this site. Congrats dude, somebody else here has cool taste in music, or is at least aware of cool music. And yeah, it's weird that some people don't really know about Iron Man. As a comic fan, I have really grown to appreciate the character over the years, especially in Ultimates (not the new arc, ugh), where I feel Tony Stark especially shines. Also, to those more interested in Iron Man stories, check out the New Avengers or the latest Captain America. He's only a bit part in the later, but he has some truly great scenes, like his battle with the Winter Soldier.
-
Obviously, AICN is a nerd site and most people here know the character (albeit the Jackson-as-Fury controversy shows how few people actually *read* the comics), but Shellhead is still a minor pop culture character. No previous movies, kitsch TV show or even remotely watchable cartoon put it on the map.
Not to mention that the marketing surrounding this flick has been very nerd-centered. Except the (poorly rated) SuperBowl spot, the trailers were more aimed toward the fanbase than anything else.
They seem to have understood that and for a few weeks shifted the plan with buttloads of pics and posters. Anyway, it couldn't be any lamer than Universal's marketing for Hulk 2. -
but I'm reasonably excited for the movie. It comes out the day my finals end so me and my friends are seeing it as a cool down to mark the beginning of summer break. Everything I've seen of it looks interesting, and you can tell the people behind it are really passionate about it. One question though, who came first, Batman or IronMan? The whole "Billionaire dresses as superhero" thing seems kinda similar, no? Of course, I'm sure that's where the similarities end. IronMan looks much lighter then the Dark Knight.
-
that was fitting.
-
A comic book character character has to have either a 1) popular memorable cartoon series that's at least 20 years old, or 2) a popular memorable primetime live action series that's at least 30 years old, or better yet 3) both and best of all 4) several of both. Superman and Batman are uber and sit on category 4, Wonderwoman and Hulk sit on category 2, and Spider-man, before his movies, was only a category 1. But when Ironman hasn't accomplished any of those, how can we get excited? (I know there was at least one Ironman cartoon, but it was neither popular nor memorable.)
-
"Anyway, it couldn't be any lamer than Universal's marketing for Hulk 2."
Yeah, the marketing for that thing has really dropped the ball...I hope it's just hard to market because the effects are incomplete, rather then it just being crappy. -
Iron Man in 1963. Hope that helps.
-
Fuck yea! They are like the Iron man of music.
-
He's naked under that iron suit.
-
He's naked under that iron suit.
-
It's going to get very dark in the next movie i'm sure. You see tony Stark is going to tumble into a Alcoholics downward sprial. I know that sounds like a joke but it's true he can't cope with being Iron man and turns to booze.
-
And I meant that as a compliment :)
-
just sayin'.

Uwe Boll has said that if this petition gets to one million signatures, he'll stop making movies!!!
I cannot stress the importance of signing this petition enough! We have a chance to STOP UWE BOLL, according to him!
Do it! Sign! End the suffering! Think of the children! Think of the filmgoers!

"I wish I knew how to quit you" pic of Iron Man. This needs to hurry and come out....now.
-
I can't sign the petition if it puts the release of that film in jeopardy where I live. I'm expecting that flick sooo baaad.
-
kick ass. I hope it fulfills its potential. And somebody needs to go help the Batman folks design their costumes because that fucker hasn't changed since Keaton wore it except for a nipple or two. Black is the new bail me out because I lack enough imagination or industriousness to get it right. Please see x-men for further proof.
-
Wow... people grew suddenly bored of Iron Man or what? Months ago any bit of info - even meaningless - drew talkbackers like a Vern review or an Indy IV or T4 TB... Weird.
-
when it comes to costumes. The X-Men movie pajamas looked like cosplay material. So did the Schumacher latex shit, but it wasn't Batman anyway.

Jack Chick comics!
-
Internet, when you actually had to wait to see a movie. Or only saw a trailer before a movie. And the only new pics where the new Posters are in some crappy mag. But whatever I don't have to look at it, but its just so damn tempting!
-
Chick Trax! This is your life, ooooooooo
-
but like you said, it's so tempting... Sometimes I wish the studios get more responsible. That shit is helping the endemic growth of internet cynicism. Some people here sound as if they are jaded before even seeing the film; and I can't blame them as I'm one of them more often than not.
-
This doesn't have the name recognition of Spidey or Batty, so wouldn't you think that they would be bombarding the general public with all things Iron Man by now to get people hyped over this movie? Unless you frequent film websites, you probably can't even remember when this film is being released. Maybe I'm not watching the right channels, but I have yet to see an Iron Man commercial on TV. We're less than a month away. Hope they get a move on, or this thing might end up underperforming.
-
Sounds cool....hopefully this one is successful so we can see that. I don't see why it won't though...Hellboy got a sequel and the returns on that one were just ok (even though that movie rocked).
-
and the sequel got canned by its previous studio before being greenlit.
If Iron Man fails to be a smash hit, I doubt another studio will try to distribute a near $200 million Shellhead movie again. Except Universal, maybe?^^ -
To all of the naysayers... check it out when it opens. I am sure you will be blown away. This movie will rock big time.
-
One big problem the superhero movies Hulk and Ironman have is that they both are based on the villain fighting a bigger version of themselves. Hulk->Abomination and Ironman->Ironmonger. Film goers are going to notice and view it as a cliche. What happened to the Mandarin? Wasnt he supposed to be the Ironman villain?
-
Honestly, what kind of world is it where nerds don't know IRON MAN?
This is looking damned good, and not just because of the rip snortin' action bits. What has me sold is Downey's Stark. Stark is a really, really good character, and Downey has the arrogant jerk thing down solid. And since we all know he drinks, THAT side of Stark should be easy. Bring it on.
-
If there is to be a Mandarin movie, I MUST insist on some backstory on the rings. And that means just one thing: FIN FANG FOOM!
-
Favreau confirmed it, but somewhere down the road they shifted gears. I read the novelization (I know, I could've read a real book instead^^) and he's hardly mentioned. The terrorist's flag [beware, spoiler here] is a big X circled with 10 rings.
Big deal. -
I agree about the arrogant bit.
Two complaints though
A/ we're not supposed to know Downey was an addict. Some people think it adds something to his part (which is quite in contradiction with the essence of acting); I think it will bug some people precisely because of RDJ's past antics we're not supposed to know anything about in the first place.
B/ the "arrogant" bit, according to the trailers, is backed up by some cynical attitude. It contradicts the classic origins (where Stark was an idealistic type) and leans more toward the "modern" writing. I find that a bit lazy, cynicism is really the cheap writer's way to make a character "the guy you'll love to hate". See Jack Sparrow.
But the armors look cool. I guess that's enough to have my ass on a theater seat. I'm weak. -
Don't be so mean!
If War Machine has a cameo appearance like Venom in SM3, we'd all cream our pants. THAT would be unexpected. -
won't be long before someone calls you a hater just because of your handle.
-
There is a big difference. The 1960's incarnation had him 'quickly' go from weapons maker/industrialist, to somewhat of an idealist. The late 1970's early 1980's make-over (The brilliant David Michelinie/Bob Layton) collaboration, in-which the Alcoholism was introduced, still had not turned him into a cynic. He was a rich playboy, who thought he had it all, and happened to enjoy distilled spirits - a little too much. When business and personal problems seem beset him, he turned in force to alcohol. The cynicism and some might say fascism, shown by Anthony Stark these days is not in accordance with the tradition of the character.
-
The reason Batman and Superman have pervaded the pblic conscience is because they've been around for a long time. The reason Spiderman and Hulk have pervaded it is that THEY'VE HAD MOVIES BASED ON THEM. I'm not talking about Ang Lee and Sam Raimi, I'm talking about the widespread, merchandised cartoons and live action things that have been coming out since the sixties. Iron Man had a pretty mediocre, short-lived cartoon in the nineties. It doesn't mean anything about the character himself, it just means whatever executives at FOX kept saying, nah, Spiderman is an easier sell.
-
My hat's off to you.
Like I said earlier, today it's much easier to make a character turn from asshole to hero by making him a cheap cynical prick first, rather than giving him beliefs that could be controversial. A hero who makes weapons out of patriotism rather than greed? No fucking way!
In that regard, some scenes in the trailers were in contradiction with the character. Peter David did a great job in the novelization, by adding some political statements but will they translate to the screen, where the PG-13 crowd wants cheap laughs and minimal use of their brain cells? -
I am a very long time Iron Man fan, and although I truly detest what they have done with the character in the comic book these days (I do realize that writers need to feel like they can change a character to enliven the franchise, and I also suspect that he will return to his normal self in the future, but I do not have to like it), it has not dimmed my fondness for the "Golden Avenger' in the slightest, and I am very excited about the movie. Seeing him in a big-budget movie, and having the non shell-head fans panting in anticipation of the event, is very rewarding to an old fan. Now, when I actually see how they have treated the character both IM and TS, not just clips, then I will render judgement, but I like what I have seen so far.
-
Step right upppp.
-
The fact that it's Iron Man is big deal enough. For real comic fans the world does not revolve around four superheroes split between Marvel and DC comics. If you don't know who Iron man is then you have no idea who the Avengers are or The Mighty Thor, Hawkeye, Giant man etc. The average non comic reading Joe has grown up with cartoons, tv shows and films centered around the same bunch of heroes for years so with the event of CGI making practically anything possible, they're quizzical at why we all get hyped when another of our favorite comics gets turned into a live action movie. Don't ask what the big deal is, do your home work oon wiki and see the movie if it peaks your interest but don't come here on geek-fanboy-central and act like you're surprised we're all excited about this picture, it's just far too overly pretentious a stance to take and it makes you look dumber than you realize.
-
Turns out the Iron Monger just wants to be loved.
-
Batman Begins or The Dark Night. Cool.
-
No, not the campy 60's version (although John Vernon's voiceover was perfect for Stark/Shellhead.)but the 1995 season which more or less followed the storyline from the comic's canon, The armor Wars in particular.The intro was also cool in which Stark bangs the anvil emitting shadows of formoer IM armors, not to mention that chessy arena rock song "I, am Ironman..!"Disney/Buena Vista owns the rights for the series' DVDs but will not release them in the US.(bastids!)One of the better Marvel animated series, although that's not saying much.Looking forward to the Movie which falls near my B-day. Niiiccee!
-
Iron Man isn't exactly Hellboy, in that Joe Public doesn't know who the fuck he is. I would say that he's a more popular and recognized character than Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, Elektra, Blade, Daredevil, half of the X-Men or anyone in the Fantastic Four (possible exception being Dr. Doom.) And they've chosen to make him look exactly like he does in the comics, so there will be a bit of iconic recognition even for those who don't know who he is. I mean, at some point in most people's lives they probably heard the Sabbath song or heard about the triathlon of the same name and became aware that a comic book superhero with the same name exists. And even if they didn't, even if nobody knows who the hell he is, the character still has a lot going for him in that he doesn't have a lot of previous baggage to overcome (I'm looking at you, Hulk) and a popular trailer has been out for what, almost a year now?
-
you there bro'
-
yup.
-
I axed you a question
-
Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr, nerds. give the movie a chance people, if only on the strength of this thread alone. magic
-
i mean michael jacksons thriller. man those cat eyes... spooky shite..
Yeah the mist was a shocker BUT I didnt agree with it at all...
thats just me... Tried to buy those summercamp movies on trade me last night but no fucker here in NZ has heard of them!!!
-
after 3 attemps.. kept falling asleep when maggie q died. dont ask me why.. not a totally shit film but it did get a bit silly with the jet fighter, and all that blatent overdubbing.. mind you in retrospect jumping of the nakatomi plaza with a fire hose around your middle is a tad far fetched..
-
The shocker in Thriller: A Cruel Picture isn't the ending, it's the hardcore anal porn scattered throughout.
-
And will he have flames? Gotta have flames.
-
whaddya mean?
-
If you go to torrentreactor dot net and search for "Sleepaway Camp" some torrents should come up. If you don't know how to use torrents not to fear, it's easy as hell. Just download a torrent client (I use Azureus) and after that it's pretty much just Click and Open on any torrent file you find. I got the actual DVDs, they come in a cool box set, but dunno their availability down unda. I did notice that the whole first Sleepaway Camp is on Youtube in 8 parts when I was looking for that Frankie Vinci song yesterday, but it's probably got all the nudity cut out.
-
you use facebook?
-
Closed my account because I realized how much time I was wasting on it pissing myself off.
-
you right about that...
whaddya do and where are you based? -
Currently unemployed and trying to churn out as many screenplays as possible before I run out of money and have to get another job to make rent. Which so far is two, plus a handful of treatments. Prior to this I worked for eBay, prior to that I was a cook, prior to that I was getting a history/film studies degree. I think my next move may be to walk to Los Angeles in an effort to get Herzog to make the German sci fi epic I'm cooking up. Yourself?
-
Ha Ha. Fooled you. I will be there opening weekend to see this. It looks good.
-
im an architectural designer with my own practice.. www.3dblueprint.net check us out!!
as it happens im in need of a good writer to help me out, or maybe collaborate? -
This is just another Marvel shitfest. Really, what is so interesting about this movie? The Myspace references?
-
My plate's a bit full right now, what with my own projects, and writing treatments for a producer I know trying to get our feet in the door, but what do you need a writer for?
-
Ponder that for a moment.
-
You decide
-
some guys over here in the NZ film industry about getting a mini series developed over here...
any road up... which is your most loved movie that the rest of the world hates? I have to admit to having a really soft spot for . 'a good year' dont ask me why... maybe its cos it gets the missus in the mood for some mclovin... -
Hulk more in love with Iron Man movie than what I've seen of my movie. Hulk Smash!
-
If i read your paragraph correctly Gwai-lo:Where do you get that Ironman is more recognized than the fantastic four??..my mom knows who the fantastic four are, mainly thanks to the 60s cartoon..I dont believe ironman had a cartoon back then..granted ironman is a well-known superhero, but you just went a lil too far in saying the public is less aware of fantastic 4...now do they suck more than ironman in my opinion, hell yes! FF4 fans=gaylords
-
As well as Captain America, Hulk, Spidey. The FF are perhaps more recognizable than IM, but Iron Man has been around for quite a while, and is a not an unknown. I would hazard he is far more well known than Blade was.
-
i was not aware that he did have a cartoon, i guess i am wrong on that..And even if the ff4 beat ironman to the punch with their two movies I hope this film (Ironman) will erase them from memory... check out this live display of the iron monger at comic-con

sorry about that link, this one should work
http://shopmobius.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/ironman.jpg -
fuck it i give up...if you remove the spaces in the link it works..lol
-
yea there is an iron man series in the 90s or 00's and the animated movies of course
-
They haven't posted it on here yet, but I figured this is all comic related, they've released a video of Maggie Gylenhall as Rachel Dawes endorsing Harvey Dent...even in this 90 second clip her acting is loads better then Katie Holmes'...hehe....
-

-
..pretty ignorant.
-
Tony Stark is a great creation: brilliant inventor; playboy, irresponsible drunk, self-centred lout. It was Frank Miller who created the brooding, damaged Batman we all love. Tony Stark started out that way, because Stan the Man made sure all his superheros were flawed. And Robert Downey Jr. was born for this role; he fits it like Mickey Rourke does Marv.
-
I'm hoping this movie is going to be good.
I am Iron Man da da da da da da da da da.
-
See above post, in regards to your question.
-
...and Indiana Jones. Someone get me a hanky, my childhood is coming back. SHIT!!! I just spilled my Capn' Crunch on my Batman PJs. Damn it to hell, I've had these since I was 8. fuck.
-
Possibly...but for me, the fact that he was made into a Mego action figure gives him all the clout he needs.
Go Stark! -
I don't know, she seems like one of those actresses that critics like but audiences don't really care for. She just has a weird look to her, imo, and i don't even think her acting was much better than Katie Holmes in this clip.
