The Dude Teams Up With "Iron Man"

I'm looking forward to this. Looks like Marvel is starting off strong. Nice cast. At least they have their priorities right, so it seems.

HEY! i got a GREAT idea! how about we drop jon faverau, who seems to be doing a great job, and hire SHAWN LEVY for this picture! it could be a comedic, more light hearted Iron Man! in fact, SHAWN LEVY should direct every superhero movie ever.

hey warners/DC, take a look at what marvel is doing with iron man, and get a fu***** clue. the only superhero movie you've gotten right in the last 15 years was batman begins.

Since the resurgance, DC has attempted, what, like 2 films (I'm not counting Catwoman, that was an anomaly)? Marvel put out like 50, half of which could be considered "bad" (overexaggeration, but you get the point). Maybe Marvel should be looking at DC in what THEY'RE doing, focusing on and putting major effort into one or two films at a time, and making sure they're good, rather than pumping sh!t out like Elektra and FF. --->coming from a Marvel fanboy, mind you.

While I can't defend Elektra, FF and Daredevil do have a lot of people who like them. Though, I think what he was getting at is it seems DC is purposefully sabotaging their own film. Making it lighthearted? What, like Batman and Robin?

Wow, Bridges is an awesome addition. I can hardly wait for this film, it just keeps getting better and better sounding.

Who outside of comic fandom knows who Iron Man is? Marvel needs to only make movies on Superheroes that are known by everyone. That includes Ghost Rider too. Marvel should just stick with their big three. Spider-man, Fantastic Four and X-men. Nuff said!

I do. But I'm dating a comic book geek :)

I don't think FF belongs in that list.

[b]hate to disagree, but...[/b]
its not about whether people have heard of a book before. rather, how well it translates on screen. case in point: dc's vertigo line has berthed two movies.. one, constantine, while by no means a great movie, is still very watchable... second case: 'V' which is a great movie, and adapted very well to the big screen.

i dont mind marvel whoring out their lesser "heroes" like elektra or ghost rider... its the big boys who count: spiderman and xmen were great, i honestly liked the first hulk, and yes, FF while a crappy start, seems to be getting better with the silver surfer.

iron man, captain america, these guys demand respect... you get the idea. Flash is one of DC's biggest guns, give him the respect he deserves! is all im saying.

but this is an iron man post. it looks like its going to rock, although we havent seen anything yet. my enthusiasm for this project grows with each new thing i hear about it (although i dont really like paltrow, but she's good)

FF crappy? Noway. Campy? Yeah, but, in no way crappy. It was light hearted fun, so what? Anyways, I can't wait for Iron Man. And, I can wait for next Friday. You guys know why.
