Jon Favreau directing Iron Man, good or bad?

I dont have any basis of thinking that he will do a great job, i just dont like to be negative. I'd like to think he'll do fine, and as u say he's a comic fan so that comforts me a lil.

 

SWEET CHRISTMAS.

'Course, I think he'll do an awesome job. He's the right guy for it, I don't have any doubts at all.

 

Mixed, but more bad than good

On the good side, i like the man as an actor and he knows comics.
On the bad side, nothing he did so far as a director gives any nothing that he is the right man for the job.
He only did comedies so far, and none of those are particulary great. They are funny, cool, but nowhere near great.

 

Jon is a Good Story Teller, he`s deep with the characters, and his vision is for all ages, plus he knows a character like Iron Man, because Jon Favreau is a great Comicbook fan. Jon Favreau as director for Iron Man Movie is a Great Choice.

 

I like it, hopefully it will be good.

 

Oh I hope he will be good. Iron Man is one of my favorites. What movies did he direct?

 

Favreau has great talent at directing and storytelling. His directing style is very simple and he seems to worry more about storytelling than making it look overly pretty with crazy camera moves.

 

I think he'll do a good job, granted its very early in this process, and he still needs a script and actor, but as have been said, he is a comicbook fan and thats a positive.

 

I hope he rises to the occasion. Who would have thought Sam Raimi would do the job he did?

 

There is zero doubt in my mind with Favreau. I loved Elf but Zathura was awesome. I liked Jumanji a little but when I heard they were making this movie Zathura I was like "REHASH"...boring. Anyways I went to see it and I was shocked at how well put together the film was and how the characters really came alive. I was sucked into that movie. Really well done film.

 

i'll give him the benefit of the doubt

 

I too will give him the benefit of the doubt.

and from what I've read from the articles and the posters here, he genuinly seems to be very passionate about comic book characters.

 

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, Bryan Singer and Sam Raimi have done excellent jobs with their franchises and they have all most the same backgrounds as Jon when it comes to directing movies.

 

i don't care either way, as long as they make a descent iron man film.

 

What about Made? The movie had some pretty heavy and dark material in it.

 

I think the fact that he's so into Marvel bodes well for this project. I'm not too familiar with his work so I can't really comment on it, but I've heard a lot of good buzz. Overall, I have a good feeling.

 

*sigh*....maybe, but I am not hopeful...not digging the script or premise.

 

link to script anyone?

 

Sounds like the script needs alot of work. Better not go father-son route.

 

I have no idea how he'll be. Elf was pretty damn good but I never saw Zathura. I'll at least wait for some casting announcements/official pics to make any sort of judgement.
