I am glad there wasn't more action sequences. Tony Starks made this movie, not Iron Man. He was a super hero you could identify with, almost through and through. More than I can say for Spiderman, any X-Man, Superman, or Batman. I thought Jeff Bridges was ok, nothing great. RDJ was awesome.
For me this was below only the original Batman as far as superhero movies go.
The movie was very enteraining. I enjoyed Spider-Man more, but this movie was tasfully done.
The final scene really made this movie for me.
Great film. I still think X-Men 2 is my favorite comic book movie, but Iron Man is definitely a homerun.
Sequel confirmed for 2010, plus more awesome news:Full current slate, including animation projects:Quote:
Marvel Studios Sets Four More Release Dates!
Source: Marvel Entertainment
May 5, 2008
Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $104.2 million domestically and over $201 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)
In a conference call this morning, Marvel Studios' David Maisel said that Iron Man 2 will be used to introduce Thor. Regarding more "Hulk" movies, Maisel said "We definitely plan on continuing." He added that development continues on Spider-Man 4. "I can't give any other updates other than to say it's in development and everybody's excited about 'Spider-Man 4,'" he said.
With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.)

When they first mentioned that the terrorists who captured him were called "Ten Rings" I thought: Mandarin.Quote:

He's right. I mean, some Chinese dude with a green cape, red speedos, and 2 fistfulls of bling would look mighty gay in live-action.Quote:
Favreau feels depicting Iron Man's nemesis, the Mandarin, who was created as a metaphor for communism, will be challenging, as he finds the character dated.
this movie was totally amazing, i cant wait to see it again!
What was good about the movie- Every part that was Iron Man ironmanning around
What was bad about it- Everything that wasn't Iron Man ironmanning around.
I'm surprised this is getting such a positive reaction. I hate super hero movies anyway, but i liked the X-Mans, the Supermans, and the Batmans. i don't care at all for Man Manning manning it about with his man cars and man ladies and man drinks. It's like i'm watching a movie about that guy who's the guy everyone wants to be, even though they hate him because he always smells like cologne and thinks that any Axe product is a good idea. even when he's supposed to be turning away from being Man Guykill.
