The ‘Iron Man’ comicon footage looks epic. **UPDATED**
It’s possible this footage might get taken down (although it’s less likely with dailymotion than it is with “this video is no longer available” AKA youtube) but If you do manage to catch it, I hope you like what you see. Personally I think it looks like both Favreau and Downey Jnr have totally nailed it, at least from what I can see. Downey Jnr is the right mix of agressive/funny and has turned on the cocky-asshole charm that I really used to admire in his older films. That coupled with what appears to be some pretty sweet direction from Favreau, some sick looking action scenes and a lot of fanboy pleasing moments (the Mk1 suit with flamethrowers, the mkIII suit inducing a sonic boom, naked women etc etc).
As i’ve said before I’ve never really followed Iron Man, and I’ve been pretty indifferent to news about the film up until now, but after seeing that footage the Iron Man movie is on my “fuck yeah” list.
If the dailymotion link goes down you can grab it here
**UPDATED** because the dailymotion link went down.. I updated it with one that works
**UPDATED**
agreed. big fuck yeah from me too. when you first see the mkIII iron man stand up, i just wanted to clap, it was great. it looks like a great mix of humor/drama/action.
I think this film is going to prove you can produce great action sequences melded with decent characterisation and plot, and you don’t need a talentless hack like Michael Bay to do it either.
Not really a big follower of Iron Man either, but I’m looking forward to this way more than I was Transformers (of which I’m a massive fan).
I found another source for the video (since this one seems to be down).
It’s real choppy and the sound quality is shite, but I’d do anything for a taste at this point.
