SO, I saw the Iron Man movie yesterday. It was cool. Awesome special effects, and funny.
The only thing I have against it is, at the very end, in a press conference, Tony Stark admitted he was Iron Man!!! Then, after the credits, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury approached Stark about "The Avenger Initiative." Sounds promising.
-
Response to the poll: No, I'm not going to see it.
-
I saw it, and in my opinion, it's the best Marvel movie yet.
And in response to your comment about the press conference, in the comics, he finally does tell the world he's Iron Man, only much much later.
-
No, don't care to see it.
-
Looks like another CGI-fest, but I've been proven wrong before.
-
Trust me when I say it's awesome. It's more of a military thriller than a superhero movie, at least in the first half.
-
Does it have computer graphics? Sure
Does that diminish the excellence of the movie in any way? Nope
It's very well told, very well acted, about as faithful to the comics as can be expected (I was very happy), and a lot of fun to watch.
-
I might see it.
-
I would recommend it.
-
ive seen it
i recommend it
-
is it out on DVD yet, if not When?
-
It's still in theaters...

Surely the world is ending: I agree with Chup. Again.
-
The movie does have a lot of computer graphics, but only when necessary. I appreciate the fact that they used practical effects when it was feasible (I'm looking at you, Revenge of the Sith). I give it 2 thumbs up. I can't wait for the Avengers movie and/or Iron Man 2 with the War Machine! Might they be the same movie?

"Okay, this is ten percent thrust capacity test. Ready?" *Flys upward and hits ceiling.*
That movie was good.

I loved the part of the movie where he was working on mastering his rockets. The extinguisher robot was comic genius. I also noticed they went with the "Ultimate" version of Nick Fury at the end. Interesting.
-
Those two part darn near got a standing ovation at my theatre.
-
Does any one know if it will come out on UMD for PSP?
-
I lol'd.
-
at the movie or at a post?
-

It probably will, it's showing to be successful.
-
UMD video on the other hand is not.
-

Yeah, it is successful. So why would they soil a successful movie by putting it on UMD?
-
Well some people actually use it. The only UMD's I plan on getting when I get a PSP, simply due to fan-dom of the series, is Beavis and Butt-Head.
-
IIRC Best Buy dropped the UMD movie line a while back because of no sales.

not at my local Best Buy there still selling them

Game systems shouldn't be meant for movies. We have DVD players for that.

explain Blu-ray and the PS3
-
The fact that PS3 uses Blu-Ray discs and the fact that both were created by Sony are the only connections.
-
My cousin has a PS3 and supposedly the Blu-ray is pretty good. And Blu-ray wasn't created specifically for the PS3, whereas UMD was (as far as I know) for the PSP.
-
DVDs are convenient enough. If someone can give a good argument for Blu-Ray, I'll write a narrative poem about you.
-
Much much higher resolution and clarity but only if your TV can support it?
-
Nope. I have a very old TV from the 80s.
-
It's a good argument, but not necessarily for you.
-
Eh I think I'll stick with DVD. I don't think I need to see the pores on Nick Cage's face, nor do I want to.
-
when is the DVD coming out anyway?
-
It's still in theatres, so....not soon.
-

I knew that it wasn't going to be soon, but I was wondering around what date do you guys think it will be out?
-
At the rate of theater-to-DVD these days, I'll guess August 3.
-
Something like that.

if thats true I;ll watch this movie until Madden 09 comes out.

But then a movie like National Treasure 2 comes out about a year later and throws off the standard.

That's not true. It only took a few months, Count Exaggeration.
-
Yes, but the point was that it took longer than the current average to come out.
-
Just saw the movie today. I loved it.
I thought one of the most clever, most ".....WHAT!??" moments was the part where Pepper is downloading the files from Stark's computer, and she's translating the original hostage video, and it's way different than what I thought from watching the actual hostage scene in the beginning.
Very well acted. I went into it knowing absolutely zero about Iron Man and still enjoyed the heck out of it. Lots of seat-grabbing, oh-snap moments.
Oh, and the part where Stark takes his suit and chases down the double agent in the giant suit, and Rhodes turns and looks at the spare suit in the workshop, and I was all "OH NO HE DIDN'T" and he says "next time" and I was all "ROFL"
-
War Machine much?
