Hey, Maybe This Won't Suck!

Never been the biggest fan of Iron Man, but this movie looks like it could be fun. I mean, it's got Robert Downey Jr. How bad could it really be?

Anonymous said...: I can't see the trailer because I'm using a cheapo internet cafe, but the one I saw was a mixed bag of awesome and otherwise. Yes, Robert Downey Jr. No, using the Iraq/Afghanistan War in a way already kind of cliche'd. Hell no, using Sabbath's now risible 'Iron Man'.

Who knows. Using a super-armored man makes sense in a different war context, like WW2, but Iraq is different. Whatever, it has RDJ in it, who has chops far better than any superhero alter ego so far.; September 22, 2007 at 8:38 AM

Hmm...depends on if you count Jack Sparrow/ Johnny Depp as a superhero or not.

According to IMDB, you've got Sam Jackson playing Nick Fury and Terrence Howard playing Jim Rhodes. Curiousity piqued.; September 22, 2007 at 1:46 PM

Eric Bana I'd say was tops before the possiblity of Ironman, even if The Hulk was rootless and kind of blew. Second would have to be Dolph Lundgren in the first Punisher, which was about the best movie of all time.
