QUOTE
Anthony Stark was born in Long Island, New York. He entered the undergraduate electrical engineering program at MIT while only 15 years old and graduated at the top of his class. At the age of 21, he inherited his father's company, Stark Industries, after his parents were killed in a car accident. One of the first things Stark did was to buy out the company that made the faulty brakes on his parent's car and correct the mechanical problem.

QUOTE
When Tony Stark is forced to create a life support suit to keep him alive after an accident he decides to use the technology in his suit to fight crime.

As far as their main heroes go, yes, but there are many many many other under represented characters in marvel's universe.

Robert Downey Jr definatley works as Tony Starks...i mean both have had to overcome drug addiction, so i think itll be easy for Jr to play that role, if the movie calls for it, but either way he definatly looks the part. Terrence Howard as War Machine is friggin awesome! and Samuel L Jackson's rumour cameo as Nick Fury is gunna be great! (Nick Fury movie seems like itll get the green light)

i cant wait to see this movie but i wonder how they will be able to do an Avengers movie if some of the Avengers get solo movies (Iron Man, Captain America, Luke Cage, Ant Man, Hulk, Thor) and each have big name actors to play the role, i think itll be hard to gather them all together at one time to produce an allstar film...i think they definatly should have done an Avengers film after the XMen films started taking off, like they did with FF.

I thought i read somewhere that Eric (shinhwa) was going to be in it? lol or maybe i was dreaming...

I can't wait for this movie to come out...i love Iron Man..one of my favorite Marvel characters...

I love RDJ, I mean, LOVE, ever since his cheesy movies from the 90s. I've never looked forward to a movie as much as I have with this one, and only because he's in it, as I've never read any Marvel comics - I didn't even watch the Spiderman/X-Men/Hulk movies sweatingbullets.gif. I hope this will be good. His talent was so talked-about back in the days, but overtime it just got overshadowed by his personal problems. He did sorta made some noise in the last couple of years with great performances in Scanner darkly, Zodiac, Kiss kiss bang bang, etc, but I hope this movie can cement his comeback. Edward Norton's coming out in "Incredible Hulk" too, I guess next year will be year of the superheroes...

heh i read in the past before that eric mun was considered as a cast lol tongue.gif

Who would you have picked?

RDJ is rather diverse, the right age and a drunk.

so, to you, all that matters is that the actor has to be hot in order for the movie to gross millions?

i don't really know much about iron man, but i'll probably read up on the gist of things and watch the movie.

I just saw the movie trailer online and it looks amazing.

The movie teaser was aired during the Super Bowls. You can view it in my vodpod or watch it in the AOL website then check under "1st quarter" commercials.

3 more months until this movie is released.

I'm just glad that it's being penned by the dudes that did Children of Men; I don't have to worry about it turning into some awful trash like Daredevil and Elektra .

I love RDJr! I keep hearing good reviews so I am totally down to see this! I even entered a contest "to Be Tony Stark" for a weekend- like chopper rides and limos around LA- typical billionaire stuff (feeding my obsession biggrin.gif )

I HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!
StupidSnow
is it just me
or are they making movies of every super hero now
exupery
I really like this movie & RDJ absolutely rocks as Iron Man!!! smile.gif Would go to watch the sequel if they ever do one~ Much much better than the silly Jet Li & Jacky Chan movie imho.
angelcadex
I'm super hyped for this movie, it looks really good.
Versus some other *cough* marvel movies that have been disappointing ;_;

But why must Terrance Howard be everywhere phew.gif
chinguz
I went to watch it today and it was money well spent.
It had everything the average marvel movie has but the humour was actually funny, action from beginning to end and of course drama.
Downey Jr was perfect for the role and the supporting cast did a good job also.

go watch it.
You&Me
omg this movie was amazing.i watched it yesterday and i m so happy- i absoultly loved robert as iron man, this movie had it all.
perfect. one of my favs offically LOL
ninjastar
this movie definitely met my expectations. Iron Man's suit is just sexy. I'll be willing watch an entire movie with him just fighting in an arena with anyone for 90 minutes.
I totally forgot to stay after the credits....anything worth mentioning??
Born: 1985
Just saw the movie...and it was AWESOME!
The technology certainly surpasses Transformers'!!!

*two thumbs up*
xsilentangel
Movie was definitely worth my money.
Great movie based on a comic book.. some others went wrong but this one was excellent.
Amazing graphics and great cast! Funny, suspenseful sometimes, entertaining... good combo.
I didn't stay for the credits either =/.. I wish I did now.
bORicha.
Ha, I just saw it and LOVED IT. biggrin.gif
The technology- like the computers and such were SO cool. And his house was just awesome.
I have a feeling there's going to be a sequel- right? I hope so.

One of my favorite movies, ever.
