The official Advanced Iron review of the Iron Man movie

Written by John B. Comerford (aka "Iron Man John")

I just arrived at home from attending the Chicago pre-screening at the AMC downtown near Navy Pier. It was an appropriate venue for the screening, and the sound guy/projectionist deserves a thumbs up for some great equalization during this screening as they really made use of AMC’s great, bassy sound system. AMCs tech did a great job keeping up with the Stark Tech shown on the screen. Beyond the technology though, the characters themselves are where this movie really hits a home run.

This movie is Iron Man at his best, and the fact remains that the swagger and power we see on screen is a good depiction of how formidable Tony Stark is supposed to be when he’s in that armor. He’s hit by a tank shell while in mid flight? No problem, you just got Iron Man’s attention. The U.S. airforce is after Shellhead in full burn? Iron Man turns things up a notch and they can’t keep up. This movie has some very satisfying action scenes, but again I have to remind everyone that the characters are where this movie is at.

If you're an Iron Man fan waiting desperately for the movie to come out here's a little something to take the edge off.

A fellow by the name of David Guivant has been working very hard for a very long time to create a short Iron Man film. It's set up as the opening credits to a live action Iron Man TV series (wouldn't THAT be cool). Anyway, you can view the short Iron Man film over at ScreenRant.com by clicking on the following image:

New Iron Man Videogame Images

Sega has released a few images from their upcoming Iron Man video game based on the movie. Is the image above bad-ass or what? Click on the image below and the ones that follow for much larger versions.

Regarding the video game itself, here are some details:

• The game will follow the movie (including the origin story), but will include additional gameplay scenarios that are not in the film as well.
• Sega used CGI wireframe data that came directly from Industrial Light & Magic, which is doing the visual effects work on the film so the armor in the game is very accurate when matched up against the movie version.
