This movie is a rip-off of Iron Man....


Why does Hollywood have to be so unoriginal?

It could be God, the Devil, Buddha, an Alien...or it could be a kid playing a video game. - onn1320

You're a rip off of a human being. This in no way resembles or rips off Iron Man. It is a tribute of sorts and based on the serial heroes of the 30s, 40s, and 50s.

He's nothing like Iron man, he doesn't drink excessively and is broke. Geez.

Why do people even respond to these posts. I've seen interesting topics brought up on message boards and they get little or no responses. Yet there are all these responses for this stupid thread. Everyone knows this movie did not rip-off Iron Man. This movie was clearly inspired by the serial King of the Rocket Men, which came out in 1949.
