Favreau dealt with the pg-13 issue as best he could in using the "you didnt see them die, but aint no living through that shit" casualty meter. Always tough to come up with an approach that works for everybody.

Iron Man is the John Daly of super heroes. I mean that in a good way.
I thought it was a solid movie in every aspect. Robert Downy Jr. seemed perfect for the part. I'm excited for the sequal.
One of the noteworthy things about Iron Man is that it's the first movie out of the newly created Marvel Studios. The filmmaking part of it is 100% Marvel and so is the lion's share of the profits. Probably a big reason why Iron Man was pitch-perfect as a superhero movie.
If they can follow on with a decent effort with the Hulk, Marvel will be flush with cash and set up to really start knocking it out of the park with a long run of superhero movies.
This article throws out a lot of numbers and breaks down the business side of it a bit. The bottom line being that things are looking very good at Marvel.
I saw this today too. A lot of fun. The story was so hilariously unfeasible as to be darn near insulting (how does that military guy get back and forth between Afghanistan and L.A. so quickly?) but it was a riot, and Robert Downey Jr. is as amusing as he is in everything he does.Quote:

Looking forward to Iron Man. I'm not a big comics fan or anything but it looks badass. In 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance' he was one of my two asskickers, I guess that gives me more hope for the movie.
I'm not sure he actually went back after the Stark rescue. When they showed him in that command center later, could have been stateside. They do a lot of command and control stuff for iraq/afghanistan from here.Quote:
