(HD trailer)


Based on the long-running Marvel comic book series, "Iron Man" tells the story of Tony Stark, the enigmatic heir to the Stark Enterprises fortune. A driven inventor and executive who seems to have it all, Tony is haunted by his dark side. Though he commands his empire by day, by night he secretly becomes "Iron Man," the living embodiment of decades of defense spending and innovation. Strapping on billions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art armor and weaponry each night to fight crime, terrorism and corporate espionage, Tony begins to crack under the strain of his fractured lifestyle and must ultimately confront the one enemy he can never beat -- himself.

Starring: Robert Downey, Jr

Looks promising.

um, CAN'T WAIT.

i did NOT get to see the whole commercial ... but it did look promising !!! could be the best Marvel movie by far ... i have the original comics when he was battling alcoholism ... and they were great (imo)

That looks great...and in my opinion Robert Downey Jnr is such an underated actor.

I never read the comic book, and I was SORELY disappointed to find out the "Iron Man" movie plot doesn't follow the plot of Black Sabbath's song.

I was hoping to see an Iron Man run amok.

I'm excited about this film. I don't think you can go very wrong by choosing such a great actor as Robert Downey Jr. Robert should know how to play an alcoholic, if they go that way with Tony Stark.

Was gonna watch it last week but never got around to it. I'll watch it tonight. Looks interesting.

That's a movie I wanna see!

I'm surprised they chose an actor as old as him (maybe it's part of the story, I'm not familiar with it). Not that I'm disappointed, I'm tired of kids acting worldly.

Looks more like a guy in a plastic suit than an Iron Man to me.

I don't follow...what do you mean?

JustErin said:

There are some people who won't give him the credit he deserves as an actor because he has a history of heavy drug/alcohol abuse.

Oh, I thought you were saying that about him.

I think he's a fantastic actor, drug problems or not.

JustErin said:

He is one of BEST.

Graycap23 said:

ok, and the character he's playing in 'iron man' is an alcoholic.

Yesss! I was itching for another Marvel movie
Though Fantastic 4 kinda sucked

The costume design looks OK, but I've never liked Iron Man. And Robert Downey Jr. is annoying as all get out. I think I'll be passing on this one.

I'm not interested in the movie in particular, but Robert Downey, Jr. looks really hott!! He's such a talented actor.

Ohh lawrd, I guess he is well prepared 4 the gig.

Graycap23 said:

I was always impressed that he pretty much continued acting even when he was going through his fucked up period.

I have always thought this guy was top notch in terms of his acting skills.
I still have not seen the Chaplin flick though.

Graycap23 said:

He is, and the Chaplin picture is excellent.

Now Marvel has turned Tony Stark/Iron Man into a neo-fascist. It was great seeing him get owned by the Hulk. Thor put a whippin' on his ass too.

I can't wait for this!
