I saw this last week and i was happy with what they did with ironman and my friend who i showed yesterday said you cant really mess up ironman its a guy in a suit and japan's anime's do tech gear pretty good.
now the bad guy does look a lot like this guy from 07-Ghost
Meh. It's not even like watching a battle. More like the good guys and bad guys go into a cloud, and then afterwards they tell you that Iron Man won, which was never in doubt anyway.
I'm not interested in watching people win because they are vastly more powerful. I'm interested in watching people win because they are resourceful, smart, or tricky. I realize a lot of people are perfectly happy seeing the protagonist win because he's reached level 9900000 but you can keep it for yourselves.
Seriously though, your comment was spot on. I never really realized this because the Dragonball/DBZ series was always the old-school badass anime for me. Now that I've grown out of most animes, I can totally see where you are coming from and I feel the same.
Ever heard of Lupin the 3rd though? Come to think of it I need to watch me some old school Lupin also.
I realize its fiction but it brings up an interesting questions about our "souls". Would they be transplanted into bodies with no souls? (My co-workers for example.) Personally speaking, one of the good parts of death is the chance for my soul to escape earthly bounds and go do the soulful stuff I have always wanted to do (float around on clouds and play the harp, etc) that I cant do while I am alive.
@Curves: I recommend having your soul installed into a robotic killing machine so that it is no longer a soulless killing machine and has the opportunity to love. Awwwww.
@32ndnote: Too much else on my list of stuff to learn while I am alive (#1 is learning to sail), so harping has to wait unless they make a new game called Harp Hero.
Sounds like farcical fun. However, this'll REALLY be big with people who actually believe that there's a "soul" that can be separated intact from the physical body. That counts me out.
@stryder100: I generally permit suspension of belief to undo most of my general conventions about reality, and permit it even further for things I (and presumably most everyone) really don't know much of anything about.
@MacBandit: It's a whole ton of dead weight in and of itself. If you can gather the muster to attempt reaching the line between acceleration of mass and air resistance, chances are you are either driving a vehicle capable of overcoming the aerodynamic attributes of this vehicle, or you are already going too fast in the first place.
No the problem is fuel mileage at cruising speed. No matter what weight is definitely a problem but once you are up to speed the weight isn't the primary problem is the the on going wind resistance that causes poor fuel mileage.
@MacBandit: While my exhaustive research (read: ~12 seconds of randomly clicking) has yet to reveal a price, I'm guessing that if you're in the market for one of these fuel economy is rather low on the list of priorities.
Ehh... I'm reserving judgment for the final product, but so far, the movie doesn't look half bad. May be yet another remake that ends up the "Passable" column... not offending or horrible in any way, but not amazing, either. (Kinda like Speed Racer...)
