Trailers
Man, this movie was not even on my Radar, I've always been a comic fan but the idea of an Iron Man movie just never really made my ears perk. But after seeing both of the trailers it's becoming my most anticipated movie on 2008..
To my knowledge Jon Favreau has never really done an action movie before but it looks like he was born to do this. I can not wait to see this film.

I'm with ya man. I've heard nothing but good things about Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. when it comes to Iron Man. The special effects look amazing. I'm counting the days until this one is released. Marvel has been pushing Iron Man as a major character for the past couple of years and now it looks like people have been paying attention. The character of Iron Man is diverse, Tony Stark the millionaire playboy alcoholic government official with WAY too much power "plenty of potential for a wide range of storytelling".

this still feels like a rental to me, though the special effects do look awesome. I'm just not sure yet on it.

I loved the trailer. I've never been particularly interested in those Hollywood superheroe flicks, but that one has got me somewhat excited.
I was afraid they weren't gonna use the Black Sabbath song anywhere in the movie and it's promotion (kinda like how the Spiderman flicks never used the awesome Ramones Spiderman song), but fortunately they put it right there in the trailer.

This movie really does seem to have alot going for it. I can't immediately recall any bad Robert Jr. performances. In fact usually he's quite brilliant (esp. thinking about U.S. MARSHALLS, I think he carried that movie). I really like the fact that several versions of the Suit appears in the film, including the original design, that's just cool. And yeah, the effects shown so far are pretty impressive. Looks way about average for a superhero movie to me.

Yea, Movies.ign.com has an interview with John Favreau up, and the guy really seems like he "Gets it".
He was talking about how the best tool he has had was the internet, he could put up a trailer super early and just read what the fans were saying about it, gather up suggestions and work with that. I know he is one of those guys who really does what he does out of the love of the craft and not just the money and fame, and he really is showing he has a lot of respect for the comic and even from the trailer you can see he has stayed very true to the plot(other than bringing the scene from Vietnam to Iraq which is to be expected).
I think he is going to hold little back now on advertising, what he says is that they are the new kid on the block and not many people know about Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman are all established franchises so he is going to have to make it something special to compete(especially since the characters of Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have so much in common he has to find ways to set them apart).

I just got back from seeing it. It was awesome. It's one of the best comic based movies yet. Robert Downy Jr. nails the Tony Stark character and John Favreau's direction is great. Iron Man is bad ass, go see it as soon as you can...

Saw it this afternoon and I agree, Iron Man rocked.
know what I liked most about it? not once did I look at what definately needed CGI to create and think, yea that looks like CG.. it all looked so natural and real. They said Favreau was really anal about that, like the shot where you see him on the bottom of a jet, they actually strapped the empty suit to the jet so that everything would look perfect.. he was against CG but said he would cut it some slack if the team could make it look real.

Saw Iron Man yesterday and I have to say it does well at every level. The story, the effects, the characters, the actors etc... Not once did anything pull me out of the film, not once did I groan with disappointment. This film is the exact opposite of Ghost Rider. hehe

Saw it Saturday and absolutely loved it! Everything was so well done that I'd have to be trying really hard to find something to complain about.
One question I do have though (without spoiling anything) was if that Vanity Fair reporter actually worked for Vanity Fair. If so, I never realized that publication had such a focus on international terrorism and arms smuggling hehe.
