Indiana Jones IV or Iron Man

That's hilarious Alpha Centairi. Never knew you could pull sarcasm as off such.

It's hard to see what I'm capable of from that far inside Harrison Ford.

Someones feeling sore.

Yeah, Harrison did look a little sore in the trailer.

Probably easy up a bit, Exanda.

Alternatively, recognise that your adoration of Harrison Ford is probably your own. I don't think anyone here is denying he is the man when he's at his best, but you should respect that not everyone here thinks he could fit every role ever made, and be the best at it.

Calm down Les Dennis. No one, not even yours truly, has expressed such an opinion and wouldn't even try it.

im not a big fan of the cast of iron man...Indy IV definently.

Indiana Jones by a longshot

but I'm still seeing iron man tonight, it looks pretty good 😱

no offence to Robert downey Jnr, but when you compare him to Harrison Ford? ok, so he might be a great actor (no seriously i havent actually seen him in anything - probably because i only see about 3 or 4 new films a year because i'm lazy) but he has a long way to catch Harrison or even amount to his kind of status. I'm not saying Harrison is the greatest actor ever, and it wouldnt be wrong to call him overated - but to me? he's an Iconic legend. Why? i honestly dont know, it's just his screen presence. Like whenever i'm in the mood for a good old fashioned action flick i'll go rent out an Arnold Schwarzenegger film (cant act for shit) but it was his funny - but likeable presence that got me. Actors like Ford, Scharzenegger, Willis, Stallone are the guys that got me into movies, personally.....

......and i've just realised how FAR i've gone from the subject matter....umm, go Iron Man! ?😄

Something tells me I'll like Iron Man more then Indiania Jones. I'll withhold judgement considering we've only seen some previews, but from what I've seen of Indy.. he looks meh to me.

I used to like comics, but for me it just got a little kiddish for my liking. Shortly afterwards though, i found a sex life and never went back! which is unfortunate😂 i just think there are too many comic book films coming out at the moment, maybe if they had one for each year i could digest it all - just a bit too much for me though

Well... ya know. I don't have a sex life.

So comics work good for me.

Which one do want to see the most?

Indy by default. I've always been a Dr. Jones fan, and there's no way in hell I'm spending money on a movie based on a comic book.

The Temple of Doom and Return of the Jedi were my favorite in both [original] trilogies. The Star Wars prequels were a severe disappointment, and I hope it doesn't happened with the The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And Harrison Ford was on Leno earlier tonight; good interview and I'm looking forward to it.

I haven't seen Iron Man yet (but eventually I'll see it)

I did see Indy last night. I'm NOT disappointed. It was awesome to see Indiana in action again. Different settings...but same loveable Dr. Jones. At this time I'm going with Indy. He's just too damn enjoyable.

I've not seen Indy, so naturally I will say Iron Man is better.

I'm joking, of course I will wait to see them both, like a sensible person. Definitely looking forward to Indy, though I can't help but feel like I'm going to see it as a bit dated.

saw indy last night, and i'm pretty sure its safe to say that iron man was the superior flick. i'm certain most people will agree with me.

indy definitely had its moments, and it was exciting to see harrison ford take up the role again, but the plot went over the top in some points, even for an indy film.

Spoiler:
indy surviving an atomic explosion by hiding in a refrigerator, and the force of the impact hurtling him out of harm's way? no one is that lucky.

Spoiler:
the UFO thing was tolerable until the last 10 minutes. a council of 13 extraterrestrials? a flying saucer rising out of an ancient temple? or rather, an ancient temple build to hide the existence of a flying saucer? either way, it went overboard.

the film had a different feel to the rest of the indy installments, but overall, a fun movie experience. i wouldn't expect too much.

I agree, it was rather fun. Iron Man was the superior flick for sure, but I was more riled up watching Indy than Iron Man.

I dont know man, i'd say Robert Downey and ford are in the same league when it comes to acting ability. I might even say that Downey is superior. Harrison has just had the benefit of being involved in two mega franchises and a slew of additional movies which is why he has that instant screen presence.

I saw Indy 4 last night and i have to say that if i hadn't grown up with the series i probably wouldn't have liked it. Someone here said it didn't feel like Indiana Jones and i have to agree. Other than Ford's portrayal of Indy i didn't really feel like i was watching an Indiana jones movie. That is probably only because i have grown up and Cinema has evolved. But, where the sillyness fit Iron man like a glove, it felt unwelcome in Indy 4, maybe because it was so over the top this time around. I did leave the theater with a smile though and i even got some goose bumps a couple times when i heard Indy's hero song (the raiders march) So, i guess thats all that counts. It was definitely not as bad as i feared, but it also wasn't as good as i hoped. However, it was a good movie and i suppose one can't ask for anymore. The movie is driven primarily by nostalgia, never trying to be more than the other movies in the series and sometimes it becomes to little to handle

Very true, if you did not like the first set of Indy films then you would not like this one, it was too OTT and to flashy not enough character development like previous films...overall Iron man was the better option.
