I think this movie will be a hit and start a new movie franchise for Marvel, and here is why...
Tony Stark is a superhuman human. In his suit he is one of the most powerful beings on the planet, but underneath he is not only flesh and bone, but even more fragile with both drinking and heart problems. He is more vulnerable than his audience.
I think this will resonate with movie-goers. Thoughts?
Iron Man was always my favourite Marvel superhero, so i have high hopes for this movie.
Did anyone else know there was 60s TV show too?
Tony Stark makes you feel
He's a cool exec with a heart of steel
As Iron Man all jets ablaze
He fights and smites with repulsor rays
Amazing armor, that's Iron Man
Ablazin' power, that's Iron Man
Location: Resident of Alfred.. Yes the town named after Batman's butler

Re: Ironman Discussion
I was gonna make this thread.
Anyhow, I am really looking forward to it.
At first I thought it was gonna be another Marvel cash-in (See Daredevil and Elektra and some other stuff) but then I saw the first footage with Downey and I really like him in the role. My only problem with IronMan atleast personally is not really sure of his er... rogue's gallery and I know this first movie doesn't really touch on it. But sure the sequels will have to, but we shall cross that bridge when we get there.
Does anybody else wish they had not put the song Iron Man in the trailers?
As a non-comic book fan who dabbles in the occasional comic book film, but knows nothing of Iron Man, I personally thought the commercials made the film look terrible... And I think that song played a large role...

Why wouldn't you use that song? It's called Iron Man and its about humans advancing the cause of their own destruction, which is a key theme in the film. Plus, its an awesome tune that is enjoyed and identified with by muliple generational cohorts. In my opinion, there isn't a song that would be more appropriate.
And to be fair, I hear the song isn't played in the movie until the very end, when Iron Man is offically Iron Man.
And the commercials were pretty cool, IMO. What do you think they should have done instead (honest question)?
I'm not going to lie, before I read some things about Iron Man's background I was not excited for this film and most likely not going to go see it, even though I'm a big fan of Robert Downey Jr. But after doing some research, I can't wait to go see Iron Man!
Location: Doesn't matter where, just know I'm rockin' it

I guess it's just a personal preference on my part. I'm not the biggest fan of Ozzy. And as well it just seemed a little too obvious. Like, heres the Iron Man movie.....lets use the song of the same name! It the same to a lesser degree with "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" for any action movie. For the Rambo trailer it was just like....god damn it, they had to use that song.
And to be fair, I really don't know what song they could have used. Something rather obscure that not many people had heard of would have been neat, but only if it fit well.
Wow, I don't remember the last time I had a post that long
