RDJ Iron Man is the best.
I didn't even know Crow was a comic book.
I'm referring to when Sam Jackson has a meeting with the talking screens about how they don't want to trust the suerheroes or whatever. From what I remember they had their own DIABOLICAL SCHEME.Yes, a thousand times yes. I am fully and 100% forever put off of Iron Man.

I only saw the movie once though when it first came out so mayb eI'm misremembering. I have no desire to see it again.
I see RDJ's Iron Man (or RDJ as a whole actually) having split fanbase like Apple products. You either love it or hate it because it's popular to hate it.
I personally love RDJ and his portrayals of characters and Iron Man is no exception. What I would like to hear though is why do you actually dislike RDJ's portrayal of Iron Man? What (or who) would be better in your mind?
I hate him because he's one-note. He's the witty one who constantly makes jokes and reacts to everything in a flippant manner. It gets old after, what, 4 movies?
As for a better actor to play IM, I have no idea. I've never cared for the character anyway.
Far as I'm concerned, Thor was the best MCU film. Thor is awesome.
But I'm a crazy man who thinks Hulk 2003 is better than The Incredible Hulk so you can probably discount my opinion entirely.
I hate him because out of all the films to feature him, I have witnessed absolutely zero character development while being stupidly overloaded with the snark gimmick.
RDJ is Snarkzilla the Killa. I actually like his Iron Man. IMO he plays the character just right. Glad to see he's going to be the antagonist in the next Captain America film.
I do agree w/ Foresaken Lover that the 2003 Hulk movie was awesome. I never saw the more recent one.
I am pretty stoked for the storyline that the new Cap movie is opening up because it WILL mean some changes for Stark's character. But I'm just so smurfing burnt out on him already that I may not be able to enjoy it.
Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up!
I totally forgot this was a comic book movie, and it's one of my all time favorite films(plus has Micheal Wincott in it for mad bonus points), but I'm still going to have to go with the original Batman. I don't think there is a single movie I quote as much as this one and, after all these years, I'm still not bored with the film.
There were many adequate adaptations of a comic book hero to film.
Seph are you assuming the middle ground in every thread you post in by default? :/
The specific question was not "the most faithful superhero movie to the comic," but "the most faithful character to the comic that has been in a superhero movie," unless I'm way off here.
That said, I have to say that in the Avengers movie, particularly, Captain America is portrayed exactly the way I always imagined him. I haven't seen the Winter Soldier, and The First Avenger was kind of an odd period piece, but suitable for the character.
The Dark Knight may be a better movie overall, but Captain America's portrayal, to me, is just more faithful to the comics than Christian Bale's barely-intelligible Batman. I swear I can't understand half the trout he says in that movie.
No, a few days ago I was upset about something and decided to make a bunch of boring posts to make fun of the situation. Not the smoothest way to go about things, but that's what I did.
Yeah, from what I gather, RDJ is a good fit for Iron Man. Doesn't mean if you don't like the character that you'd like RDJ's version of him. Most of the people I know who like Iron Man, also like RDJ's portrayal. Supposedly fairly spot on. I don't really care about Iron Man. Or the lack of RDJ's development of the Iron Man character. From what I've noticed, character development is extremely rare in most comic arcs. It's usually just problem -> solution. Once in a while characters develop. But its the exception rather than the norm. Which is understandable. These things go on for decades. It'd be hard to continually evolve dozens, if not hundreds of characters if you're the creator, or a group working on the same stuff all the time. It's just the way the game is played
