[quote name='DarkNessBear']Saw it again.
The audience was really boring this time. Seeing it at the preshowing was 2x's better. Everyone would cheer at like every sweet part. And the audience the second time was like quiet as hell. Lame...
I was the only one to cheer for SHIELD the second time, really awkward.
And I didn't see Tobey this time either. The other guy is on some type of Tobey Crack.
Oh well, and I saw the Nick Furry thing, was sweeet! Didn't know he said, "Avenger Project" dude that movie would be sick!
Can't wait! I want to see Hulk throw Spiderman at some bitches.[/quote]
Usually the first two days of a highly anticipated movie has the most enthusiastic crowd, after that it dies down a bit. I think SLJ said Avenger Intiantive. I don't remember seeing TM/PP either.
No one picked up on the full SHIELD until it was said outloud that way. When I first heard it I was like, doesn't that spell SHIELD?
[quote name='Scorch'] Walking out, I overheard one girl going "I love being a comic book nerd".. indeed, lady, indeed.[/quote]
In my showing I guess this guy and his girlfriend and his friend were leaving and the girl screamed "I AM NOT A COMIC BOOK FREAK!". Guess she got dragged along and didn't know what was going on. I almost bursted out laughing leaving the theater.
[quote name='sparklecopy']Saw it last nite. It was okay but I had some problems with the movie:
1. Yinsen is never given a reason why he helps stark. It was like he was just there to help him and die, people were laughing when he died cause it seemed so throwaway and awkward.
2. The biggest problem was with Obadiah Stane. First, he tries to kill Stark when stark is the one creating all the tech and making him rich a billion times over? doesn't make sense cause with Tony in his playboy mode, he didn't give a shit about anybody and Obadiah was still sitting pretty pulling the strings behind the scenes. But by trying to kill Tony he creates the Anti-tony which is anathema to stark industries. Second, he's old and it doesn't make sense that he wants all the power and glory now when he could have had it back when Stark was a youngster. Third, he makes a better suit than Tony's using Schematics from Tony's shitjob suit from the caves? How is this possible if Tony is a genius? not only does he make a more powerful suit but it seems he's already a professional at using it just by getting in the suit for a couple of seconds while Tony needed months or R&D just to get the flight propulsion right. And Lastly, with his cover blown by Pepper he just goes on a killing spree? Dude, SHIELD knows what you are up to now.
3. And if SHIELD were such a big government agency why the

do they need to slink around and ask pepper all the time for help like they've lost their dog or something. the Agent for SHIELD seemed like he was trying to sell Amway to pepper not the regulator of top secret highly funded projects.
It seems that Favreau Modeled this movie after Sam Raimi's Spider-man 1 and robert Downey Junior modeled Stark after Johnny Depp's idiosycratic captain sparrow. To be honest, Iron Man sucked! I mean the character, not the movie. Tony Stark was much better and more entertaining. It seemed like I was watching a worse CGI transformers when Iron Man came on and the last scene looked like it was rejects from the transformers highway car battle. Decent but not mind blowing. I don't think Iron Man 2 will be good unless they get a really good villain.[/quote]
I admit the movie did have some flaws, but since I have never read any of the Iron man comics and only seen some of the cartoons I gave it a chance to work. I knew that Yinsen was going to die, but hoped that they would change it so that he could escape with Tony. I am sure Tony would have given him a top job in SI. But oh well.
I really didn't like the part where he tells everyone that he is Iron Man. By doing this, he puts himself and his company in danger. Tony has no choice but to work with SHIELD and the Avengers other wise they can

him up big time.
Also did anyone find it weird when Pepper stuck her hand down Tony's chest to hook up the Arc reactor? I was like whoa that tube is deep. Considering all of SI technology, couldn't he get the shrapnel removed by his best doctors?
