Iron Man Movie 2008

Wed, Apr 30, 2008

Iron Man film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character, created by writer-editor Stan Lee.

Iron Man Movie! I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this yet and it’s out this Friday! I imagine all of you will be going to this movie, right? You know that Iron Man is based on Marvel’s best-selling Iron Man comic book character. Even though I’m a big Marvel fan, I’ve only collected a few of his comic books. It’s probably because he wasn’t a mutant or the Hulk, but boy does this movie look better than the upcoming Hulk flick. (I’m also not a huge fan of Robert Downey Jr. and with my oldness and swiss cheese memory, I get him mixed up with Johnny Depp often. But from what I’ve seen in the previews, he’s got the character down pretty well.) Heroes aren’t born, they’re built.

Update: Great quote from io9:

Iron Man is the first comic-book movie that’s actually better than its source material. That’s partly because Iron Man is one of the most boring characters in the history of comics, but it’s also because the movie manages to transcend its source.

Now even more reason to go see the film!

Update 2: After watching the film I can say that it unequivocally rocked!

Holy crap I want to see this. Problem is I have a flight tomorrow then heavy drinking with friends, then Sunday all day in my hick hometown with my parents. There’s no room for Iron Man!

Iron Man was practically flawless as a super hero flick; it drops pretty obvious hints that would indicate a sequel as well… i’m thinking the next one should be equally great
