Iron Man - Are the Holographics and GUI too much.

I found this really good write up, by David on Kontain, with his opinion towards Iron Mans HUD.

Here is a quote to get the idea:
"As with every "HGUI" (Hollywood GUI) they venture way way away to the Fantasy zone. I scream "come back" in my head as Downey's POV (point of view) GUI populates inside his helmet with a zillion items flashing around as he clearly isn’t focusing on any of the info provided. For gods sake! even the hover board in back to the future 2 was a real life prototype that was banned by the American neighborhood association."

Did they take it too far and make it too futuristic?
How do you all feel about the HUD for Iron Man?

No. Iron Man's armor is a trillion times more advanced and futuristic in the comics. If anything, his armor was too primitive. 😐

Suspension of disbelief does wonders when going to see a sci-fi/fantasy movie.

k

Some people have nothing better to think about?! sooo deep, it's a bloody science FICTION movie...

The concept is futuristic in itself, why not push it as far as it can go? Besides, like the other poster said, comics Ironman has armor that ridiculously advanced compared to the film.

What are we talking about? The heads-up display in the helmet w/ labels and everything(Terminator-esque)?

Yes, that's what this thread is about.

I liked it though, thought it was pretty well portrayed, and not overly overdone.
