91% Tomato Meter Rating

The Sage Premier Member Registered on May-24-2002 More User Info Message #174581 posted by The Sage (Info) May 01, 2008 03:38:58 ET "Fast, funny and deliriously entertaining" - Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Enquirer "Despite several adrenaline-pumping moments, Favreau and Downey stay focused on the real story -- about a man learning to take responsibility for his actions. For all its firepower and CGI slickness, that's what really makes Iron Man fly." -Frank Lovece, Newsday "This is one summer blockbuster that succeeds on brains, not bombast." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune "The fun of Iron Man, a Marvel adaptation in which a routine arc has been burnished with great elegance and skill, is the way that it heals the split, soldering the two halves of its hero into a single organically driven figure." - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "Iron Man kicks off summer on a blazing high note and practically dares the competition to measure up" - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone I am STOKED to see this movie. I don't see how it can miss raking in $400M+ at the box office. Peace, Sage

S.H.I.E.L.D. is here. Stane is here. The Mandarin is here. Pepper Potts is here, Happy Hogan is here and yes… Rhodes is here. It’s all there. All of it. Even a fan-fucking-tastic nod to War Machine.

The special effects were jaw-dropping and the ending actually surprised me. It's a terrific movie. Christopher Bale is The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger will be the star of that movie, though, I think. The Incredible Hulk looks pretty good if you like big green monsters that smash things and who doesn't? As far as Hulk vs. Iron Man, that would be no contest. Peace, Sage

Very cool movie with a big time performance by Downey. Paltrow IS Pepper Pot, and bald headed Jeff Bridges is one convincing nasty bad man. A little on the violent side in the beginning for my 6 year old, but once it turned comic bookish and Iron Man went into action it was all good. Iron Man flying was the favorite part for the kids, but overall they liked it a lot. Great flick! And thanks, Shootist, for the advice to wait, wait, wait through the credits. Damn, it takes a lot of people to make a big time movie. :-) Puff

I wish them the best. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080505/20080505005656.html?.v=1 "Marvel today updated its feature film slate strategy and plans for the next three years, locking in key release windows for its character franchises. In order to focus its attention on maximizing the success of an Iron Man sequel and the launch of Thor in the summer of 2010 and because Marvel believes that the summer is the optimal time to launch a new property, the Company will not release a self produced film in 2009. Marvel plans to launch its 2010 film slate with the release of the sequel, Iron Man 2, on April 30, 2010, followed by the launch of Thor on June 4, 2010. Additionally, Marvel is planting its feature film stakes for summer 2011 with an Avengers-themed summer – a two-picture project which will debut on May 6, 2011 with The First Avenger: Captain America (working title), followed by The Avengers in July 2011." Well now, where is Ant-Man? hmmm?? Peace, Sage
