... for me personally, I would have liked waaaaay more time with him in the suit, rather than spending half the movie in one way or another messing around with that damn hole in his chest.

yea would have liked to have seen more 'Iron Man' in it. But just like Batman Begins, you have to setup and do the character right. Hopefully Iron Man 2 will be freaking amazing

I understand that, but I don't have to like it. and in the origin story, isn't it more like a pacemaker that he gets over stateside rather than a hole in his sternum?

No, it was the same as in the movie, except that it happened in Vietnam

There deffinately wasn't enough action for me. I like my super hero movies with more explosions and excitement. It seems like it was trying to be comdey when it was supposed to be an action movie. I hope the Hulk is better.

I didn't actually want to debate the semantics surrounding the word "overrated", I just had some reservations about the movie.

I don't think it will be a verses movie though I'd imagine there to be mention of the Hulk. I'd imagine Iron Man being mentioned in the Hulk to be in relation to the "Avenger's Initiative."

The only problem with Iron Man was the ending, wasn't up to par with the rest of the movie.

They were throwing out ideas for the first Avengers where Hulk was the villian. Not even a rumor though, just ideas from the creators.

I have yet to see Ironman or Batman. However, I thought Transformers was pretty bad and overrated when I got to see it on HBO like last month.

Movies arn't made great through action.. Ironman had the perfect blend of character development, humor, story, moral choices and messages.. Intermixed with the actual Ironman persona.

Perhaps the Hulk will appear in the new Wolverine Origins movie (if they want to be consistent with the comics).

It was pretty good. Not as good as Batman, Spider-man, or X-men movies but better than all the other superhero movies.

Ironman = win.

I haven't seen The Incredible Hulk, but I will.

In terms of Ironman 2: It will be a second Ironman movie, not a VS or Avengers movie.

The Avengers Movie is a genuine consideration for Marvel. They are hoping that Thor and Captain America movies will prove popular enough to validate an Avengers movie Featuring Thor, Cap, Ironman, Hulk and an undisclosed female Superhero. (Quite possibly Scarlet Witch)

Good movie, but it didn't really further the genre, which is the mark of a great movie.

As far as just supplying superhero action and it was pretty amazing though

About a half an hour into the movie I was so disgusted I was gonna walk out, I couldn't believe he was so arrogant and consumed by money, he was glorifying what I hate about America.. Not caring what his weapons did as long as he got the check I was getting SO MAD and ashamed, but in the end he realized the error of his ways and finally placed a higher priority on human lives and his own personal liability for all the damage that was being caused all for his profit margin, the then he stepped up and made up for his mistakes, and I left the theater proud and satisfied. Iron Man was way way way better than I had anticipated.

:lol: your pathetic if this is true.

Whats so pathetic about my perception of a movie? I mean if you are gonna attack me, at least prove your point Mr. Condescending.

Edit: And if you are gonna insult someone use proper grammar if you want to be seen as supreme as you see yourself hotshot. You used "your", when you should've used "you're"....

The problem is that with all the lack of action, the character development was still a letdown. It was your typical comicbook hero movie character development, rushed and superficial. I never actually empathized with Tony Stark at all, I was like "that sux" but he didnt really feel like a "real" person. ON the other hand, TDK and Batman Begins had phenominal character development. IMO, The only reason people gave Iron Man such glowing reviews was because it was slightly above the other super hero trash out there but as soon as TDK came out, im guessing alot of critics wanted to change their Iron Man reviews :P

Well he probably meant that you should have easily predicted that he would realize his errors. If you had super powers, wouldn't you use them for your own benefit to some extent?
