Masterpiece of War
IRON MAN
This film is absolutely awesome.
Jon Favreau did it.
Damn near perfect.
ILM and Stan Winston are destroying all comers in the SFX department nowadays.
Holy dogshit awesome, that's what Iron Man is.
The sound design is just delicious to the ears- listen to those spent casings hitting the ground, listen to the symphony of weapons fire, the ominous THUDS of Iron Man walking, the righteous flames that he throws from his ingenious, Invincible War Machine. Just beautiful sound on this movie.
It's all guns and lots of thunder. Great summer blockbuster shit.
Robert Downey Jr. is amazing as Tony Stark, the weapons mogul executive who becomes a fighting man out of necessity.
He's smart, talented, self-conscious and self-made.
Who better than Downey to give us these traits?
Back in Black.
Yes indeed.
The main appeal of this one to me is the believability factor.
There's some techno/sfx geniuses working at ILM, Man.
Iron Mans' ergonomics are amazing. He's got his own little batcave with support services, he's got advanced circuitry with Tesla-like ingenuity at his fingertips, and he renders The Rocketeer an obsolete joke. Remember "The Rocketeer" from 1990? Ha Ha. THIS is the fucking Rocketeer folks.
Just awesome simulations of what it would be like in a Titanium Alloy suit that has stealth capabilities. Oh the Magic of Movies....
Not much else to say about this one.
It's just fuckin' BOSS. Period.
Everyone who worked on it can be very proud.
You've done the comic book (and Stan Lee & Jack Kirby) very very proud. Just a real treat to sit in front of.
Thank you Jon Favreau and crews.
Box office smash for a reason.
Keep cranking 'em out like this.
Fans will go everytime.
