Iron Man
no one special:
Yeah, so... gettin' the thread back on track...
--- Quote from: Melodic on 04 May 2008, 12:21 ---How about the whole descent from second-in-command to crazed lunatic running the streets in a gigantic power suit? I found the logic behind the final fight a little silly, considering that the entire objective of the operation was to sell the thing, not control the world.
--- End quote ---
One objective was selling, yes, but the other main objective was to stick it to Tony Stark. Stane was the one who had Tony kidnapped in the first place, to get him out of the way so he could take over the corporation. Also, Stane couldn't stand that Tony betrayed him (by refusing to sell weapons), so it got personal. Also, of course, Stane is jealous of Tony's genius. To top it all off, Tony invented his greatest creation and refused to share it or profit from it. So with the Iron Monger, Stane thought he had finally topped Tony Stark, and there was only one true way to show that he had - destroy Tony Stark and his armor.
KvP:
Nah, nah, they didn't sell Stane and Stark's relationship at all. Stane works under Tony's dad for years and years and years, and then under Tony for years and years, and all of a sudden he just orders a hit on Tony? Why? I mean, if it had been revealed that Stane was behind the father's death or something, then you'd have something. But as it stood Stane was a cardboard cutout of a villain.
Still, solid movie, light on action but entertaining all the same, which is always something worth encouraging.
Jimmy the Squid:
I just got home from seeing this with my girlfriend. We both loved it, it was really well done from start to finish. My only complaint was that line of Paltrow's that wasn't delivered very well and seemed out of character given that Pepper is a woman who is constantly around a dude with crazy gadgets and should have been scrapped entirely or edited down to "What's that?" It's not like it ruined the film for me though. Oh and we stayed til after the credits so I'm really excited.
pilsner:
This movie needed more Ghostface.
Also, I didn't wait for the (click to show/hide) Nick Fury omg omg I've had it with this Iron Man on my motherfucking SHIELD hidden scene and now I have to watch it again.
Dissy:
If y'all missed the scene at the end, here it is. And I am suing Jackson for breach of contract, again. SPOILER ALERT
