Iron Man 2

Awesome.

Still no love or excitement for this?

Fuck. Yes! So much love and excitement for this movie.

Did I hear that Don Cheadle replaces Terrence Howard? If so, that's a bit shit.

wha!? no Terrence Howard!? outrage!

Second Trailer

AC/DC soundtrack.

It's gonna rule so hard.

Opens next thursday.

Probably just as much fun as the first. Larger thematically, but probably suffers from the same fate as the first, lack of supervillian. Still it was really well paced, and never got pulled out of the screen. It's a pretty sweet blockbuster.

Agreed. Great job.

Scarlett can swing her legs around my head and swing me to the floor any day.

i've asked this before. but maybe now more people have experienced it, get more feedback.

can you watch and enjoy a full length movie at imax or do you just get dizzy/headaches? especially a bright colourful action flick?

i saw dark knight at imax... it was awesome. also saw that scorcese rolling stones movie. also awesome.

hmm, thanks, i'm tempted. but wherever i go, i feel like i have to wait a few weeks till most of the kids are onto the next fad movie.

This move was highly entertaining. Sam Rockwell, I salute you.

Notice the Large Hadron Collider cameo? Well, Mini-H.C. And I reckon RDJr used some life experience to play the more party boy brat Stark in this one. Number 3 on its way... stick around after the credits for a teaser.

Seriously, though, this was amazing:

it would make Ulysses look like it was written in crayon

I really liked this. It was silly and fun and funny and explodey and RDJ is stupidly hot.

Mini-HC was kickass. We cheered.

Hammer is such a douche

Only so much inane pointless babble I can take though. Otherwise I was completely entertained. Went to IMAX. It was pretty full of nerdy types, which was excellent, & listening to the speculation start over 3 on the way out was super.

Hammer was a total douche. Sam Rockwell played it perfectly.

This was ok. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been sitting next to a smelly Iron Man fan boy who was way too excited and laughed hysterically at every little thing.

aaah. nice. just watched it. i love Hammer/Rockwell. its his goofy dance/boogie that i can relate to, not Stark's rich and oh so cool playboy lifestyle.

Can't wait to see this - Robert Downey Jr and Mickey Rourke facing off sounds grand.

am i the only person who hadn't heard of Iron Man before these movies came out?

these are fun movies no doubt.... but Iron Man?

he's not up there with superman, batman and spiderman is he?

how does everyone know this superhero?

i'd never heard of iron man before the movies, aside from some kellogs nutri-grain thing. but i don't mind. it's good fun movies regardless.

oh yeah they're fun. it's just when the first one came out i was so surprised by everyone's familiarity with the character. guess a lot of people grew up reading comics.

i think most of them were just pretending to be in the loop. i know i can be guilty of that sometimes.

rourke stole the show and he only had about 5 lines of dialogue.

Iron Man has been around a long time. It was one of the only comics I used to actually buy, after getting one in a showbag when I was about 8 or 9

There were Marvel Iron Man cartoons in the 80s, yeah?

Yeah I honestly didn't understand why the first one was so popular. But will probably see this if only for Rockwell. Love him.

Saw it last night. To be honest I found the whole film to a bit leaden. There were some really good scenes like the ones in Monaco and some of the other action scenes were really well done but there was never any suspense or sense that Iron Man was ever in any real threat.

I thought the cast were great (Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke especially) but I couldn't work out why Mickey Rourke's character is so determined to get back at Stark? What had Stark done to piss him off so much?

Mickey Rourke's dad was one of the people that invented the arc reactor, but was never credited for it, and therefore never received moneys and died sick and poor. So Mickey Rourke vowed revenge on the Stark family, but it turned out that Mickey Rourke's dad was gonna spill secrets to the Soviets about it and that's why he was exiled back to the USSR.

That is my almost-drunk synopsis of this subplot.

Now. Where's the vodka?

Hate to burst the bubble, but that wasn't a collider he built in his workshop, it was a particle accelerator, different bit of kit altogether. Pretty funny making a new element, though, anything not present on earth is likely to be so unstable it deteriorates as soon as it comes into existence, if not before. BUT ANYWAY NOT TO NITPICK...

I loved it, it's a comic book movie for comic book readers. Sure any old schmoe can watch it, but if you don't get who Nick Fury is, or what S.H.I.E.L.D. does, or what the Avengers means, then sticking around until after the credits would have left you puzzled.

Problem is, schmoes are going to get bored. If Iron Man was Alien, this one was Aliens. They had better do something very clever for 3, or they should just wait until the Avengers is ready to come out before we see Tony Stark again.

By the way, kudos to Jon Favreau. There is no point at all being the director of a film starring Scarlett Johansenn unless you can cast yourself in the scene where she gets her gear off. Brilliant work, Jon.

Oh, and while it's on my mind, Sam Rockwell: Brilliant; Mickey Rourke: Scenery chewing ham all the way,, that scream at the beginning was ridiculously un-called for. And I always forget Gwyneth can act, she does it so rarely.

Ha!

PS: This movie was rad.

Justin Hammer's dance across the stage was inspired, too. I hope Rockwell adlibbed that.

Yeah. Rockwell was brilliant. Really.

I liked it the first time & liked it more the second time.

Had same thoughts re:

I came out of the cinema wanting to drive an Audi to somewhere where I could use Kodak film to take a photo of a Dr. Pepper.
It was pretty good. As the 10 year old I saw it with whispered to me about Mickey Rourke: ''He's a bad man''.
Trailer for the A Team movie looked OK, too.

Yep, that too.

Deeply disappointing
After the sheer entertainment of the first, this was the worst thing an action blockbuster can be - dull
