Iron Man

I thought Bridges did a good job. It was a good villain to jump start the series, especially since it introduced the Stark Industries dynamic really well.

Let me clarify that to say "Iron Monger" instead of "Stane".

The problem was more in that it was "AND NOW... YOU MUST FACE... YOUR DOUBLE! HOW CAN YOU DEFEAT YOURSELF!?!?"

Incredible Hulk did the same exact thing three about a month later.

I really hope he fights Fin Fang Foom or something in the sequel. Not another robot suit, you know?

The character of Tony Stark and his learning to use the suit was easily what made the movie great. The conflict was not as good as the character.

If you listen to Del Toro's B2 DVD commentary track, he goes on and on about all these retarded ideas and dialogue that he fought to have removed from Goyer's script and makes fun of the stupid shit that he couldn't. Then Goyer himself wrote and directed Blade Trinity, and we all know what a giant piece of shit that movie was.

Better than a scrawny blinged-out Chinese guy.

Stane was the least interesting bit of the first one.

I thought Jeff Bridges did a very good job as Stane.

Marginally.

Didn't Goyer also write your beloved Batman Begins?

Kinda. He wrote the script with Nolan's help.

Where did I ever say that that I loved Batman Begins?

Go look up my original comments in the BB thread. I think I said something like it was very good, but overally long and dragged in parts. I probably also bitched about the editing in the fight scenes like everybody else.
