Characters
Definitely the quickest into the action, Irom Man.
ReplyDeleteA somewhat different hero to Captain America.
ReplyDeleteTracy Island
ReplyDeleteInevitable Terrence Howard/Don Cheadle comparison on it's way at some point today.
ReplyDeleteSeems bizarre now that Downey Jr was a massive risk by Marvel.
ReplyDeleteThis a long sequence... anyone who'd seen the trailer would expect expect Black Sabbath at the end of it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Iron Giant
ReplyDeleteNone of this 'our heroes don't kill' bullshit that you get from DC. It's like they're going out of their way to kill off bad guys here.
ReplyDeleteAs a plan, flying away was a bit short sighted
ReplyDeleteExpecting to see a hub cap roll past.
ReplyDeletePHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJeff Bridges makes such a good bad guy.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler Alert! Jeez.
DeleteWhat? He's creepy from the start.
DeleteOk, so Obadiah's got a segway rather than a sub...
ReplyDeleteStark invented Skutters
ReplyDeleteHahaha, yes!
DeleteRealistic isn't the right word, but it's nice to have a realistic development of the suit, rather than just knocking it up.
ReplyDeletePaul Bettany is consistently good.
ReplyDeleteStan Winston did brilliantly with the suit designs.
ReplyDeleteHe really was the go-to guy.
DeleteGotta be said, tank chap...good shot!
ReplyDeleteObi in league with the terrorists seems a bit of a stretch. Still, less coincidence than Captain America.
ReplyDeleteLove that woman logic where she gets to be annoyed at him for trying to stop mass murder.
ReplyDeleteObi is only truly evil when he has fully migrated to a linen jacket.
ReplyDeleteConsidering "the technology doesn't exist" the engineers did an excellent job making the hole exactly the right size and shape.
ReplyDelete"If I was going to make a mini arc reactor, what size and shape would it be? Oh, of course."
DeleteCan't get through a door, can force his way up through the ceiling and through a road.
ReplyDeleteMini Pacific Rim
ReplyDeleteLaser guided missle to hit a bus 15 feet away.
ReplyDeleteProto-Hulkbuster armour as well
ReplyDeleteI love that Stark's plan was to drop the tank sized metal man out of the sky above a city full of people.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely rockets by for a 2 hour film! Holds up on what must be the 12th time I've seen it. Top 3 superhero film of all time for me.
