There may be some of you out there who are wondering "Is the movie Iron Man right for me?" You may have questions about the age-appropriateness of the film. I will be addressing Frequently Asked Questions here in what I am calling "Iron Man Movie Q&A"
Q: Should I go see Iron Man?
A: Yes, you should.
Q: Is this appropriate for young children?
A: Children are exposed to a million murders on tv by the time they are old enough to walk. That's just science. As long as the kid isn't a pussy, it's fine. There is more graphic violence on Sesame Street.
Q: Is this a good movie to bring a date to?
A: If you're with a chick who doesn't like Iron Man, you're wasting your time.
Q: Is it true that this alludes to the formation of the Avengers initiative as well as a new movie featuring Captain America as well as a Tony Stark cameo in the upcoming Incredible Hulk film?
A: Psssht. Nerd.
Q: I have genital herpes. I don't want to spread it to my partner. Is this movie right for me?
A: Iron Man is not intended to diagnose or treat any diseases. That said, if you see this movie and have intercourse with your partner, they won't contract the disease. Probably.
Q: Is this movie only for comic book geeks?
A: No. D&D losers, LARP dorks, WoW dipshits, M:tG virgins, "Graphic novel" snobs, pretentious movie hipster faggots, Table-top RPG fat-asses and Mexicans will enjoy this movie as well.
Q: Is this movie better than Spider-man 3?
A: Gigli was better than Spider-man 3.
Q: How many sneak previews of this movie did you see?
A: That's none of your fucking business, man.
Q: Should we keep an eye out for an exciting Stan Lee cameo?
A: Who?
Q: Is there an exciting trailer for "The Incredible Hulk?"
A: Yeah, you'd think so, wouldn't you? No, there isn't. Enjoy the trailer for "Love Guru" starring Mike Meyers.
Q: I don't think Robert Downey Jr. is going to be a very good Tony Stark.
A: That's not a question.
Q: I don't think Robert Downey Jr. is going to be a very good Tony Stark?
A: Still no.
Q: Why am I the only one who thinks Robert Downey Jr. isn't going to be a very good Tony Stark?
A: Because you're wrong.
Q: That's it? That's your fact-based argument? That I'm wrong?
A: This fucking Q&A is over.

1. Batman- Jack Nicholson was superb. Enough said.
2. Blade- Corny? Sure. Entertaining? Highly. "Now look at you...you're a little bitch."
3. X-Men- Look past the shitty dialog. The casting was perfect in almost every way.
4. Spiderman- Contrary to popular belief, I think Toby's a perfect Peter Parker. And the effects were great.
5. Hellboy- It reeked of cheese but he sure as shit looked like Hellboy, didn't he?
======================================
1. Spiderman - Perfect casting; the gold standard in what an "origins" movie should be.
2. X-Men - Fuck you, I loved this movie
3. Punisher (Dolph Lundgren) - Hell yes. This movie rocked my face off when I was a kid
4. Batman Begins - Fan fuckin tastic.
5. Iron Man. Yeah, it was that good

Iron Man was my favorite superhero when I was a kid. This movie has my stamp of approval. These comic book movies are hit or miss with me. Usually miss.
Believe me I can give plenty of reasons to hate on any comic-made-movie but I take them for what they are: nostalgia.

(these all forgive the terrible plot discrepancies versus the comics)
1. Batman- Jack Nicholson was superb. Enough said.
2. Blade- Corny? Sure. Entertaining? Highly. "Now look at you...you're a little bitch."
3. X-Men- Look past the shitty dialog. The casting was perfect in almost every way.

You know, in the hands of someone who actually knew how to script, produce and direct, X-Men might have been a fairly enjoyable nerd experience. You had Captain Picard. You had Gandalf. As it was, we got a film rife with laughable attempts at catch-phrases: "do you know what happens to a frog when it gets hit by lightning? The same thing that happens to pretty much anything that gets hit by lightning. It dies."
=====================================================
I liked the first 2 ok, the groaner lines like "What happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning" aside, but I think Marvel may finally be getting its shit together after how bad X-Men 3 and Spiderman 3 were.

Are you sure? I hated the Spiderman films, and was bored silly by X-Men (it lacked of Gambit).
===================================
Then you'll love "Wolverine Origins" coming out next summer which will have Gambit haphazardly thrown in.

I haven't watched a single one of these 80's-cartoons-cum-blockbusters since.

I saw the movie last night. I think it's the best superhero movie Marvel's put out since X-Men 2. X-Men 3, the subsequent Spidermans, the Hulk movie, Daredevil, and the Punisher were all turds.

There's one bit in The Punisher, where Castle fights this big guy in a red and white shirt. He tosses Castle through a door and his head bounces off the wall really, realy hard. If you play it in slow motion while making a low pitched, slowed down NOOOOOOOOOO sound, its really fucking funny.

Last night I went to go see Harold and Kumar instead but we were stuck in front of this obnoxious OMG I AM SOOOO PRERTY girl who ACTUALLY SCREAMED at one point during the movie. FROM TERROR. And had the most irritating, high-pitched laugh. And was horrifically stupid, from what I heard coming out of her flapping dickbox mouth.
Iron Man is next on the list, though.

Iron Man is lame. If rust is one of your enemies, you pretty much fail as a hero.

Shlongy doesn't go to these kinds of movies...what is this, "action/adventure", "superhero", or "comic book" genre?
I hate all 3 but was just wondering.

Just got back from the mall and seeing this movie.
I really enjoyed it.
Would see again +2
Ok, sorry for the Ebay style rating or whatever but I really enjoyed Ironman.
There were some unexpected physical comedy moments that were pleasing.

to be specific.
Construction
The armor is not simply a metal suit; in fact, a typical Iron Man armor will have no actual rigid parts, all of them being collapsible in their inactive state. Instead, the suit consists of approximately two million grain-of-sand-sized discrete units, which are shaped to have as large a surface as possible to optimize their effectiveness. The basis of Iron Man's structural integrity is namely the powerful force field which permeates the armor's "cells", as well as the whole. Each of the "cells" is a tiny unit in its own right, contributing energy and computing power to the entire armor; this is also why the suit can remain functional even having sustained considerable damage: the basic principle of the suit is holistic (each part contains the whole, as it were). Despite the immense strength and durability of the armor, it is collapsible on the microscopic level, the cells "folding" in on themselves to take up a smaller volume, like a three-dimensional accordion pleat. Needless to say, the construction of even a single "cell" would take an enormous amount of time: automated construction is a must[citation needed]. For example, to attain molecular perfection in the construction of extremely small parts in the separate "cells", specialized bacteria are deployed - the bacteria consume minute amounts of specific metals, then arrange themselves on pre-tagged areas on the "chip wafer", then die, leaving a very small amount of iron, or gold, or gallium-arsenide[citation needed]. This method allows great precision in determining the thickness of circuitry. While Tony Stark designs every aspect of the armor, production is practically entirely automated.
Thank you wikipedia.
