looks sweet

Looking forward to this; I really dug Iron Man as a kid. Robert Downey seems perfect for Tony Stark. Pretty big movie for Jon Favreau; he's kind of an unexpected choice to direct a mega-budget superhero craptacular.

Dang, yet another formulaic CGI superhero yawner. Hollywood is full of surprises..:suspect:

Looks sweet, I think superhero movies tend to work so well because theyre all so different

I just need to stay away from this thread...

It's okay to enjoy cotton candy once in a while.

I can only hope it will be as good as Spiderman 1 & 2 or Batman Begins rather than another Fantastic 4 or Hulk...

I-urn-maaan!

Fantastic 4 or Hulk...
:barf:
Silver Surfer blew also.

Awww come on CC, don't be dismissive of an entire genre. It'd be like me saying horror films are all cheezy, misogynistic, lowest common denominator, teenage schlock.

I can see being a little tired of the hype surrounding these flicks, but to lump them all together is a mistake. Sure when you get hacks like Joel Scumacher, Michael Bey and Brett Ratner directing, it should come as no surprise when a movie is souless, smart alecky tripe (does anyone actually have any real dialogue in the Fantastic Four flicks... it seems like all they do is exchange "witty" quips). When guys like Christopher Nolan, Tim Burton, Sam Raimi, Ang Lee are at the helm; directors who take pride in their craft, I think the parts are all in place for an excellent feature. It certainly doesn't guarentey success, but with these kinds of directors guiding the feature, at least an effort will be made to make a worthy film. Jon Favreau could go either way, he showed promise early in his career, but of late has shown signs of become a studio hack.

Yes... yes it did... But at least I didn't bother paying to see it...

Neither did I, SK ;)

No they're not! The hot chick always gets to kick evil's butt! It's the men who get mowed down like dandelions.

I too am a huge fan of Morton Downey, Jr.


oh... you said Robert

"Zip it! Slimeball!"


Wow, there's a name from the past. It was always easy as hell to mock the guy, but as TV talk developed through the nineties it was clear to see his influence and realize that he (for better or worse) was a man ahead of his time. Dipsticks like Jerry Springer certainly owe a debt of gratitude to old Mort. Do you remember when Downey's show first came on how bizzare it all seemed? I recall staying up late nights in highscholl getting high with my friends (remember kids don't just say no... say no thank you), and just staring in disbelief at the mayhem that was unfolding before us on that crazy-*** show.

Sorry to digress.
