Ironman Wow !!!

[FIREWALL]

I just saw IRONMAN and the above says it all.

I didn't even finish my popcorn.

When this is released on DVD it will go in my collection.

I'm really looking forward to this, Ironman was my favourite Comic character ever, or was it Thor? Nah Ironman.

Hi Kurtz

Hope you see it soon. It was great from beginning to end.

Btw I saw a billboard yesterday about a new Hulk movie comeing out.

You hear anything about that ?

[kurtz]

I wouldn't be looking out for it, I'm afraid. I couldn't really make myself rate Hulk was as anything other than poor, but then I didn't really like the comic version that much.

IRONMAN WAS AWESOME! Excellent movie all the way around!

A definate "must buy" when it's released on DVD for me...

[FIREWALL]

I'm not a big Hulk fan either.

I have both of the Fantasic 4 movies and they were pretty good.

I hope they do a third one and bring back the Silver Surfer.

With the success of Ironman they just might.

My local movie theater has a life sized Hulk statue in it. I SO want to take that thing home and put it in my living room !!! (My short little wive is crotch hight to Hulk so I found that very funny)

In this movie, Bruce Banner is already the Hulk.. the military led by General Ross is after him and the villain he fights is The Abomination who is another Gamma Ray Mutant. Also... Robert Downey JR. is in the Hulk Movie as Iron Man.

When you saw Iron Man, did you stay till after the credits to the shout out for the comic book fans where they had Samuel L Jackson show up as Nick Fury, head of Shield to discuss "The Avenger Initiative" with Mr. Stark ?

Can you tell I'm a Marvel comic book fanatic ?

I have both of the Fantasic 4 movies and they were pretty good.

I hope they do a third one and bring back the Silver Surfer.

For a fan boy, they screwed up the F4. Ben Grimm was good. Johney Storm was good, but Jessica Alba is NOT Suzan Storm and she can't act her way out of a paper bag. She doesn't even remotely look like Sue Storm. Also, in the comics, Dr. Doom is a HELL OF A LOT SMARTER than the movie version. A proper Dr. Doom plan would have so many layers and redundancies to it that he would never have to resort to wandering around shooting lighting bolts yelling "RAAAAAARRR !"
Also.. there is no way in HELL that the Silver Surfer could have taken down Galactus. Galactus created the Surfer. Silver Surfer is NOWERE NEAR Galactus's power levels. Silver Surfer became a herald of Galactus to save his planet from being devoured. They didn't touch on ANY of this in the movie. Silver Surfer also does NOT get his power from his board !!! He gets it because he's infused with The Power Cosmic !

Yeah... I'm a nerd.

Blacklight Thx for the KOOL news.

I won't argue with you there, but...

She doesn't even remotely look like Sue Storm.

What exactly does Sue Storm look like? Are you talking about the '60s original by Jack Kirby? The '70s version? '80s? Todays? She's a comic book character and looks the way the artist-of-the-week draws her. Kirsten Dunst doesn't look the way I pictured Mary-Jane Watson, but that's an opinion, not a fact.

Does Gwynneth Paltrow look like Pepper Potts?




Oh, yeah, I saw Iron Man too. Great summer popcorn movie. And Paltrow got the best lines.

[Tchocky]

All I'll say on this one is that if I was putting Jessica Alba in a film, the last role I'd give her is that of "Invisible Woman"

[Blacklight]

Gwyneth Paltrow is totally NOT Pepper Pots in my head. Pepper is more snarky, and bored (She's seen everything and nothing surprises her and she's used to cleaning up after Tony's messes). The banter between Tony and Pepper is supposed to be almost comedic each playing off each other.

Casting Jessica Alba as Suzan Storm was just as confusing as them casting Halle Barry as Storm in the Xmen movies (They should have gotten Angella Basset. She can actually act and she can play "Tough". Halle played Storm as too.."Fluffy".)
Jessica Alba just totally didn't fit the role in my opinion... She was eye candy and nothing more.

I DID like Iron Man though. I think it's up there with Spider Man.
