dwEEziL May 21, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member May 21, 2008 Saw it yesterday (but missed the part after the credits). I thought it was a great movie. Robert Downey Jr. had me busting up in just the few minutes of dialogue in the "FunVee". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFirstMonk May 23, 2008 Share TheFirstMonk Member May 23, 2008 Watched the movie 2 weeks ago, but I haven't had time to post. I thought the movie overall was good. I was initially suspicious of Robert Downey Jr. from the trailers I saw. It looked like he was playing the same sarcastic character from "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang," but he did pretty well in the scenes that required real emotion; I was pleasantly surprised. I did not like Gwyneth Palrow's performance though (even though I think she's a very capable actress in general). She seemed lost in some scenes, especially the balcony scene with Tony Stark at a party; maybe it was due to Favreau's Robert Altman-esque approach (Altman was known to have actors improvise scenes). I actually thought Leslie Bibb did better in her supporting role as the reporter who shows up sporadically in the movie. I can't really comment on the movie's faithfulness to the comic book since the origin story was retooled to accommodate modern times ( I suppose Iron Man fighting a green guy who gets his powers from the rings on his fingers and calls himself "The Mandarin" would be a bit strange ), but I liked that they kept certain stereotypes to a minimum. Don't know if I would call it the best comic book movie some people have on this thread, but I like the direction it's headed towards for the sequel(s).

dragonfly May 24, 2008 Share dragonfly Member May 24, 2008 lol I had the exact opposite take on Gwyneth. I hate her in all the other movies I've seen her in, but really liked her in this one. Maybe it's cause I first saw her in Emma, and wanted to smash my face with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZesteR May 24, 2008 Share ZesteR Member May 24, 2008 It was pretty good, Batman Begins still remains my #1 superhero movie though. check out the apple.com HD trailors of "The Dark Knight"? Is there a threadfor it yet? I can't wait for that one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
