Author Topic: Iron Man (2008) Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-09-2008 07:59 AM                     I'm not going to give anything away and I'm not going to give my review until it gets a little closer to release. All I will say is look out when this opens, were all going to be busy. This is going to bring them in in droves. 5 out of 5  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 04-09-2008 09:45 AM                     The "5 out of 5" is a good clue as to how U liked it. Great. I hope it lives up to your review and the usual Hollywood hype. I'm supposed to be getting an advance print for a private screening later this month. The sound techs will be in to fine tune the system beforehand and they're even closing down the auditorium next door the night of the party so that I can really pump-up the volume. (At the request of the people I'm working for)  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-09-2008 12:21 PM                     For sure Jim, play it LOUD!!! The mix is great on this one.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 04-09-2008 02:35 PM                     For these advanced screenings, I expect they are all in SRD, but do any of them ever have the DTS tracks available?  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-09-2008 04:53 PM                     Our print did not have a DTS track on it; but the print of Baby Mamma I had on Monday did, but it didn't have any credits. Just black film.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-09-2008 04:55 PM                        Gonna be busy because of the trailer that's on this, or because it's Iron Man and a quality movie?  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-09-2008 07:37 PM                     This is a quality addition to the comic book genera, I would say its in the top 3 thats been made in the modern era. Also for the trailer that will be on it as well, people will come for the trailer and stay for a great film.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 04-10-2008 01:40 PM                     What trailer is supposed to be on this? New Indiana Jones? If so, what's the big deal to see the trailer since it opens like 3 weeks later?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-10-2008 02:59 PM                        Just found out they are looking for 3-week dates on this one. That lets us out, unless it's Star-Wars big. I'm not feeling it, but maybe I'm wrong?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-10-2008 06:00 PM                     Here's the run down of wide releases for May May 2, 2008 Iron Man - Paramount Redbelt - Sony Pictures Classics May 9, 2008 Speed Racer - Warner Bros./Village Roadshow/Silver Picture May 16, 2008 The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - Walt Disney The Midnight Meat Train - Lionsgate May 22, 2008 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Paramount/Lucasfilm May 30, 2008 Sex and the City - New Line Cinema Iron Man looks like it could make decent money for three weeks -provided if the movie is truly good. The two trailers I've seen make the show seem promising. But if you're running a single screen theater and have to keep it for 3 weeks you're obviously going to miss Speed Racer and the Narnia sequel.  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi. WNW of Rockwall, TX but it seems much, much longer) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-10-2008 07:21 PM                        Like 21, IRON MAN has the benefit of being released in a virtual vacuum. It will be but a memory by June 1. Let's hope it's more a ROBOCOP than a ROBOCOP II. This thread purportedly "reviewing" IRON MAN certainly doesn't review it very much but I imagine it does create some word-of-mouth. That's the job of marketing.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-10-2008 08:38 PM                        quote: Bobby Henderson But if you're running a single screen theater and have to keep it for 3 weeks you're obviously going to miss Speed Racer and the Narnia sequel. We're going to miss Narnia either way, because it's too close to Indiana Jones (which takes priority). We might play Speed Racer if they will agree to a 13-day deal. We'll play Narnia right after Indy. Jim: I think there'll be more reviews here when the movie is actually out!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 04-11-2008 12:08 AM                        When I saw Robert in the trailer... it just turned me off. Never really been a Downey fan ever since I saw that Heart and Souls film over at Brad's.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-11-2008 12:52 AM                     Jim, I plan on editing my Review when it gets closer to the release. I ended up seeing it twice in the span of about 10 hours and I have to say it was just as good the second time as it was the first. Mike- I think if you wait on this one till the start of June when it slows down for a couple weeks you will do really well with it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 04-11-2008 01:10 AM                     quote: Mike Blakesley Just found out they are looking for 3-week dates on this one.
