Re: Iron Man (New Line sets 2005 release date)
as far as i am concerned iron man was one of the more mature comic adaptations. it didn't resort to a "dumbed down after school cartoon in the 1980's" plot in order to be a comic book movie. it was a real movie with characters that people truly related to.
it even included real concerns for real people and companies. how many comic book movies even start talking about the stock market and include jim cramer. (besides batman begins, and i will get there)
the action scenes were pretty seamless and believable. there was not a point in time where i felt like something looked fake.
and as i eluded to in another thread downy as stark was pure casting genius. i hope now that marvel can keep its production in house they continue to cast believable actors in roles. (i.e. angela bassett should have been storm. not soft ass halle berry.)
this was a great movie. but i still think that batman begins is a better movie. in batman we got to know bruce wayne inside out. honestly, for as much as we did learn about stark it didn't hold the same emotional weight.
but with that said, it is a must see movie for any comic fan, action fan or someone that just wants to see a good movie.
by the way, i thought that this movie was more enjoyable than any x-men or spidey movie. i enjoyed those movies but they were, ehhhhh....a little cheesy.. when i left the theater. perhaps it is the mecha/robotech/voltron/macross fan in me.
listen with your own ears...
watch with your own eyes...
make your own decision.
