Ginx: The villain would have to be as equally as good as the Downey casting - as you say. The villain is always critical in these movies, if hes not up to scratch it will let the whole movie down.

War Machine was always my favorite version. Maybe it was the visible guns or the coloring.

Yeah its definately got to do with those big "fuck off" missile launchers & miniguns that sit on his shoulder, Ginx. The energy blade on his left arm is pretty friggin cool too.

I do have to say - that after seeing Zodiac this weekend I can see Robert Downey Jr. as a decent Tony Stark.
now I must read Mr. A's 'gasm links so I can see what the latest scoop is.

The best part about Stan Winston is he won't go for CGI if practical effects will do the job. You're pretty much assured that he'll use the right effects in the right places.

Zathura is one of my favorite kid's films of all time and has some of the coolest effects and creature design in the recent sci-fi canon.
So I am really excited for this, not being that familiar with the character.

I just found out that Jeff Bridges is going to be Obidiah Stane - the man that took over Stark International & forced Tony into a alcoholic relapse. iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2025&Itemid=99Iron Man vs Iron Monger! *nerdddddddddddgassssmmmmmmm* Im hoping that means the Mandarin is out of the picture now with Bridges playing Stane (which I would much rather see anyway)...so hopefully we'll see battlesuit on battlesuit ack-shun! Also, Iron Man starts principal photography today (well its the 12th here in Oz) & I know your not actually reading this Jon....but good luck bud! Hoping everything goes well for you!

It just keeps on getting better and better (on paper so to speak) but I can't help feeling that the fans might be hoping for too much from Iron Man. As they did with Ghost Rider, still...I will go and see it...cause it is IRON MAN DAMNIT!

I'll have to get back to liking Iron Man again - he's kinda on my sh*t list since what went down in Civil War - but then again. The movie is gonna be pre-Civil War so it might turn out alright.
And yeah - fans have a tendency to build movies up and it's usually an even split as to whether the movie lived up to the fan-hype - but I've got a good feeling that Iron Man won't let the fans down. I think that studios producing comic book related movies are getting a little wiser as to what the fans are looking for - at least that is my hope that they don't want to keep dishing out crap comic movies - they want to give people the real deal - to see the character(s) that they adore for the comics on the big screen.

I know I probably am setting myself up for a huge disappointment, but dammit its Iron Man!...what could possibly go wrong! This is the first Marvel funded film too, so hopefully there wont be any clueless movie execs sticking their noses in, changing shit up to suit what they think will go down well with audiences. This will probably be the only time I'll ever be this excited about a movie so im gunna live it up while it still sounds awsm. And I need something to talk about while I wait for 300 to finally show up in Oz.... I haven't read much of Civil War....but Starks plotline does seem interesting though. I think Iron Man is indirectly responsible for why I like Neo so much - both use their power of the human mind to overcome adversity. Thats something that appeals to me greatly.

Well - Civil War is now over. So it should be coming out in TPB soon - but you can read all about it for the most part on wikipedia. I'm sure you know how it ends - since it made the news.
It's not over though really - because now they have all the crap to deal with that came from the storyline - been keeping up to date with Wizard.
And it's fine that you're excitied Mr. A - I feel the same way about The Dark Knight.

An onset pic of the original Mk1 grey armour has been revealed: He looks like a cross between Robocop & the Tinman!

He looks like a cross between Robocop & the Tinman! If the Tinman looked like that in the Wizard of Oz it would have been a badass movie (not that I don't love the WoO - I do - lots - *sigh* don't make me release my flying monkey's)Reminds me slightly of the Iron Giant.
