robert downey jr. is an awesome actor, and if the movie fails it won't be his fault. although the director is pretty competent too, so i wouldn't worry about that. i think so far this movie looks great.

If "devolving" is the word for whatever Marvel has been doing, I hope they keep doing it. Most of their comics became so ridiculously over-complicated in terms of plot and storyline over the decades that only the most dedicated readers could have even a hope of understanding what the hell was going on. Anyone who ever picked up a copy of X-Men during the mid- to late-90s knows what I mean.

@DoctorLou: Yeah... I havent' seen the original Knight Rider since it was first on. I do have the theme music on my ipod though, remixed with Herbie Hancock's "Rock It".

@mr_bigglesworth: "Demon in a Bottle" is pretty well regarded, though I can't personally vouch for it or any other Iron Man books.

@wishnevsky: I don't think today's Submariner is appropriate in the context of "comic book".

CUT TO opening shot, "Queen of Bora Bora"...

@mr_bigglesworth: I wouldn't bother reading one now, Marvel basically made him the Asshole responsible for Civil War.

Ummmm, KITT already had an attack mode where he "morphed" in the TV series...maybe some one needs some remedial Knight Rider viewing?

Man, these Iron Man pics keep getting me more and more excited for the movie. I can't wait, I think they're going to get this one right.

@mr_bigglesworth: The Iron Man in the movie will bear only a passing resemblance to the comic-book Iron Man. Marvel is in the process of devolving most of its classic comic book characters, reducing them to no more than video game caricatures.

i'm still waiting for something to make the movie look worth seeing, much less the comics.

Iron Man has been going for forty years, and in Marvel fashion has probably morphed every five years into something else.

I'm so old i'm hoping for a Submariner movie.. Now there's a dude with some serious angst.. And some mixed- race issues too. Pretty up to date, come to think of it, what with ocean pollution and all..

If anything I'd see if you like the movie before reading the comics. They're really haven't been many outstanding Iron Man comics.

@mr_bigglesworth: Do you usually study for movies? I don't think you'll fail Iron Man if you see it cold.

i haven't read any of th iron man comics, would it be best to read (at least some of)those before the film comes out, or would it just make the film seem crappy by comparison?
