Iron Man Armor Revealed (not the tin version) [SPOILERS]

[Tonguez]

Hmm...

On the positive side, the casting is really good. That really looks like Rhodey, Pepper, Tony and Obadiah...

Only if Tony Stark is now gay (well at least metrosexual!

Hopefully that shot was deliberately cheesy and tongue-in-cheek (Jeff Bridges hand rubbing is just too obvious)

 

[Ranger REG]

It is cheesy trying to make a comic-book pose for a photo shoot.

They're better off letting the comic artists render them.

well at least metrosexual!

He flies around in a shinny red and gold suit with polished chrome highlights and has a pointy little beard.Tony was metro before metro was cool. Tony was metro before the term had been coined.

I love the cast picture, specially how it breaks away from rigid poses. Jeff Bridges isn't rubbing his hands, he's resting fingertips on fingertips, and Downey Jr. is doing a "hip" pose.

Amen.

I don't like RDJ's pose, but I've been really impressed with the art direction and casting so far.

I would have laughed if Tony was in a hunched-over hungover pose, suit all askew. I don't suppose that makes as good a promotional image though.

 

[Tonguez]

Yes I suppose the shiny armour does say something about that! Playboy Industrialist indeed!.

Does anyone know if they are going to do the Gulf War injury stuff? or if they'll touch on his alcoholism in the movie and if they do how.

And Bridges isn't resting fingertip to fingertips, his hands are askew - caught mid rub!...

(NB I do like the picture and the casting)

Not the Gulf War. The updated origin of Iron Man has Tony being injured in Afganistan.
Also, Favreau has stated that Tony's alcoholism will be covered in future sequels (should they be greenlighted, of course).

 

[horacethegrey]

Cause I'm such a nice guy, I got a brand new image to share with you.

This new poster was spotted at the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam.

My opinion, it screams "register or I ship your ass to the Negative Zone".

 

[WayneLigon]

On the negative side, the poses they have them standing in are REALLY CHEESEY. Are they going with a campy angle for the Iron Man movie? Seeing the promo shots of the armor had me pretty stoked for this one. Seeing the promo cast picture is leaving me underwhelmed. I'm thinkin' more Fantastic Four than Spider Man, sadly...

My god, is there nothing less important to complain about? So now the movie is doomed because the damn cast picture doesn't have them standing around like manniquins or something? People need to stop finding things to bitch about. You got great actors and actresses, a director who obviously knows and likes the property and superheroes in general, a suit that looks as near to perfect a translation from comic book to live action movie as anything we've seen yet but hold the horses, the damn cast picture that was good enough for the cover of E! isn't to your liking for some bizarre asinine reason.
