Iron Man replaces Batman Begins as the best comic film adaptation? - Blu-ray Forum

Roland1919 · 05-04-2008, 04:21 AM

I've seen the debates all over the boards about Iron Man And Batman Begins. I can't say one is better than the other. They were both amazng in their own way. I can tell you which one I liked better and will have longer lasting replay value for me. For me its Iron Man. Amazing Directing, Allstar performances, and the ressurection of a forgotten career. Welcome back Robert Downey Jr., you've set a new standard.

No. Now if you want to talk Movie wise you have to seperate them.

Marvel: Iron Man
DC: Batman Begins

Now if you want to talk best superhero of all-time everybody is still going to say Superman.

Iron Man is better. It appeals to Comic Book Fans. Kids. Adults. Teens. Has a good plot, good comedy (which is rare from Marvel). Good battle sequences. Just all around better. I love Batman Begins, but Iron Man just does everything great.

Iron Man has way better replay value as well. I can only watch Batman Begins every once and a while but I have seen Iron Man 4 times already, and plan on a few more visits

What? Really?

I think Superman is the lamest comic of all-time. He might be the "best" superhero, but he basically just has every power and it makes him totally boring.

Nearly any Marvel hero is more interesting. Batman is the only DC hero who stands up as a character.

Once Dark Knight comes out, and another poll is made to decide is Batman or Iron Man is better, Batman will be back on top by a large margin.

Superman has a clear weakness that can be used to manipulate him...

aqupunk · 05-10-2008, 11:01 PM

I didn't think Iron man was all that great really I was expecting more kinda came off a little cheezy....But The Dark Knight looks awesome and batman begins was amazing.

Yeah, the little piece of kryptonite that Batman carries with him in his Utility belt.

As great as Iron Man was, nothing compares to a man dressed in a bat suit. Christan Bale's Bruce Wayne was slightly better than Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark. When I left the theatre after seeing Batman Begins, I thought I had just seen the greatest comic book movie of all time. After I watched Iron Man I said , this is the greatest comic book movie since Batman Begins. Batman Begins started a fad that comic book movies could be taken serious and not just as popcorn movies. Batman Begins is the new standard for how a comic book movie should be made. Iron Man is just the first to graduate the class.

Iron Man ftf'nw, Batman Begins is overhyped and so is the sequel, Iron Man is just better in everyway Batman Begins was just boring imho. I know i'm gonna catch some fire from some of the bat-trolls around here for this...

I found bits of BB slow and boring, but it was interesting. It wasnt a typical Batman movie the first hour. Iron Man was better though

cajmoyper · 05-04-2008, 05:25 AM

Batman, to me was the better movie hands down. Iron Man was too childish and honestly, even though I still thought it was good, I was just waiting for it too end. And ending that was a little on the anticlimactic side. BB takes the edge in every conceivable category: acting, story, pace, directing, action. And wherever the realm of realism concerning comic books is, BB is the closest. Iron Man is still a little over the top, I understand that the point of comic book movies isn't to be believable but that's just what BB did. I forgot at certain points in the movie that Batman was my favorite childhood superhero.

Clark Kent · 05-04-2008, 05:28 AM

Have you seen the original Superman? Iron Man and Batman Begins simply wouldn't exist if not for the success of the original Superman movie.

Mxr5150 · 05-04-2008, 11:53 AM

It's awfully close, I loved Batman Begins; But Robert Downey Jr. really really really kicked ass and drove that movie. It's too close to tell for me, they are both amazing.

Seretur · 05-04-2008, 01:03 PM

Batman Begins was never the best anything, not to me.

Iron Man just might be the most accomplished superhero movie of our time, on the other hand.

DetroitSportsFan · 05-04-2008, 01:41 PM

I liked Batman Begins more, but Iron Man was great as well.
