Iron Man

Tony Stark’s mind was a scary place to be. “Yes, Tony?” Stark shrugged. “Offering,” he replied. “Yes.” “Why?” Which was the equivalent of a heart and soul. “I didn’t think we were fighting, Tony.” “What do you want to do, Tony?” “No.” “Liar.” Tony grinned irrepressibly.

AS GOOD as the recent crop of superhero movies led by Iron Man have been they do still stick to an established formula. It’s refreshing, therefore, to find a variation on the theme that has fun mixing things up a bit. Will Smith’s Hancock is exactly that kind of film, even though it’s not...

By CalvinPitt(noreply@blogger.com) I still really enjoy the scenes where Tony is testing his flight capabilities, but I tried to concentrate on Jeff Bridges, since some of the other reviews I read after my initial review made me think I'd missed some aspects of his performance. I think they were probably right. Maybe it comes f...

By noreply@blogger.com (thecynicalgamer) It’s been a fairly decent summer for blockbusters so far, no? Iron Man turned out to be the most enjoyable superhero film in years, The Incredible Hulk was far from the disaster many expected, and I even felt Indiana Jones was a great adventure (although I know not everyone would agree with...

By Rajiv Ashrafi He also said, "I’ve already mentioned War Machine and Mandarin. I have some ideas, but I really need to sit down with Downey and the Marvel guys before we say much more." Favreau, when asked about the return of War Machine, replied with a jab at Marvel: “Do characters ever really die in Marvel?...

By zippyfish Iron Man is the latest piece of popular culture (a Marvel comic book from the 1960s) vacuumed up by Hollywood’s all-devouring machine, and reconfigured into a blockbuster film. ‘Here comes the crap’, you say, and you’d be right to be dubious - Hollywood’s action blockbusters are too ofte...

By Guppy It was like a James Bond movie on some insane drug. Beautiful women, unbelievable action, gadgets - you name it and you will find it in the movie. The music complemented the action beautifully and the visuals were simply mind blowing. I never thought I would see a Robert Downey Jr. movie but afte...

By Graeme McMillan Sure, Iron Man may have seemed like harmless fun set in a vaguely "real world" setting, pitting Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark against villains so cartoony as to be easy to hate while realistic enough to hit all of our hidden preconceptions about "evil" in a post 9/11 world. But as it turns out...

By noreply@blogger.com (Caleb) I have a review of Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1 in this week's Las Vegas Weekly. Seems appropriate. The above does not occur in that comic. But Fin Fang Foom and Iron Man are both in it. So maybe it will in future issues. If you buy the first issue of only one new Iron Man series this month though, I think y...

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Creative Team Writer: Jon Favreau Artist: Adi Granov I love Favreau’s handling of Tony’s character. Marvel should replace Fraction with Favreau over on Invincible Iron Man. I know that Favreau could never handle the requirements of a monthly title due to his career, but, c’mon, Favreau simply gets Tony’s character better than Fraction does. Also, it would mean that Fraction could stay on Iron Fist. Fraction has been money on Iron Fist. Favreau’s Tony Stark is like a breath of fresh air from the colorless and dour Tony Stark that we have gotten since Civil War. Favreau’s Tony Stark is a delightful blast from the past.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) We cut back to the Helicarrier where Tony mentions his second nightmare. It is when the Iron Man armor becomes cheap and easily replicable. Because as it stands, there are two armors: Tony’s hi-tech Extremis armor and Rhodey’s War Machine armor which isn’t as good as Tony’s armor. Another mild irritant that newer readers probably won’t pick up or even care about is Fraction continually having Tony refer to his armor as “The Iron Man.” I have never heard Tony refer to his suit of armor as “The Iron Man.” Tony always gave his armors technical names like Model XV, Mark I or Mark II. Or Tony would give them catchy casual names like “Stealth Armor,” “Hulkbuster Armor” or “War Machine Armor.” I have always viewed Tony’s current armor as his Extremis Armor....   [read the full post]

By Ed Lau Verdict: 9.0 out of 10 Tony Stark, head of a weapons manufacturing company, is a bit of an unlikely superhero. Robert Downey Jr. is also an unlikely casting choice as a superhero. However, there is no better actor to play the slick, womanizing Stark better than Downey, considering they’ve bot...

By ajmarra Great Acting and Perfect Casting: I don't think Iron Man would have been as good as it was if Robert Downey, Jr. hadn't of played Tony Stark. There's no mistaking it; this guy is Tony Stark. He drinks, he macks it with the ladies, and he knows when to give and take a joke. Downey, Jr. just got Stark dow...

By vaultdweller13 I like how Marvel is trying to create a common continuity in their movies now. For those of you who don't know Robert Downey Jr. is going to be appearing as Tony Stark in The Incredible Hulk. Also, at the end of Iron Man, there is a bonus scene where Samuel L. Jackson introduces himself to Stark as Ni...

By radiondn To cut right to the chase, Iron Man is one of the best superhero movies ever made, and a lot of the credit is due to Robert Downey Jr.'s standout performance as the title character, also known as Tony Stark, a smug, self-absorbed, obscenely wealthy arms dealer who undergoes a change of heart,...

By Vic Holtreman One of the absolute best things about this film as far as comic book fans will be concerned is how faithful the movie is to the spirit of not only Tony Stark/Iron Man, but of the supporting characters as well. Favreau reached back to classic Tony Stark instead of depending on the more recent in...

By Scott Weinberg Downey is a survivor, no doubt, and he's also a refreshingly engaging actor to watch -- and boy was I thrilled when Marvel announced that this would be the guy to portray Tony Stark.

By Gavok There are cameos in it by Jim Cramer, Stan Lee and what looks to be the appearance by Ghostface Killah. The Stan Lee one could either be funny or groan-worthy. The only thing the movie is truly missing is a scene of shirtless Tony Stark with a mullet, forging his armor with a hammer.

By cslepage Ultimate Human #2 Marvel Comics Ellis, Nord & Stewart We begin with the dust up that began in the previous issue. Tony is getting chased throughout the facility by the grey Hulk. This whole sequence uses humor, with Tony on his cell phone barking out orders, versus the madness of the Hulk. Finally, Tony jumps in his suit and the battle begins, but with a twist: Tony’s suit doesn’t have any armaments. Hulk smashes Iron Man into the ground. Iron Man lights Hulk’s hair on fire. Iron Man eventually gets the better of Hulk and shoots an electroshock into his eye. This gets the Hulk to revert back to Bruce Banner.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn We cut to Tony in his penthouse at Stark Tower. Suddenly, captain America appears before him. Captain America attacks Tony. Tony says that Steve is dead and he can’t be real. Captain America takes off his mask and says he is a figment of Tony’s imagination. Captain America then says “The writing is Malukkian.” Tony wakes up and goes to his computer and look at footage of the writing on the wall at the Chinese facility where the Mandarin was being kept. We zip forward to the morning with Tony meeting with Secretary of Defense Jack Kooning. Tony says that only the Mandarin can decipher Malukkian script. That a month after the Mandarin went missing a John Doe was admitted to the Chinese mental facility. The John Doe had no hands.   [read the full post]
