Iron Man 2

Whilst I don't think it was as bad as some of the reviews have portrayed it, I agree it was not a patch on the original.

It seemed as if Marvel did this film purely as a build-up for the forthcoming Thor, Captain America & Avenger films.
 
sorta firgured. The one marvel movie I have no interest in whatsoever. I never did see the first one at all when it was on theartes. Just watched it once a year ago on sky movies(hd). fyi wasn't that impressed. Guess I can go with my original plan and watch this via bittorrent instead.
 
Saw IM2 yesterday, and was entertained, but also rather disappointed.

The Good

Mickey Rourke as Whiplash.
War Machine
Black Widow
Special effects
RJD's portrayal of the main character *


* Stark Expo rubbish excepted.


The Bad

Poor plotting.
Dodgy dialogue
Way too many armored suits
Blowing things up instead of character development

The abysmal

Hammer
The soundtrack *

* Effectively letting AC\DC release a greatest hits package rather than making a proper soundtrack was very poor.
 
I enjoyed the first one, but can't quite drum up the enthusiasm for this. I'll see it if invited, but otherwise it's a rental.

Not that my no-show will harm its performance of course. It's just had an estimated $133m opening weekend in America and has already rang up $194m elsewhere (boxofficemojo.com).
 
I thought it was very good. It was great fun.

RDJ is just an incredible actor. He was very funny in this and he plays the arrogant Stark brilliantly.

I loved Whiplash too.

Samuel L Jackson and Scarlett Johansson seemed pointless.

Gwynth is brilliant too.

That villain with the glasses was so incredibly annoying.
 
Just back from seeing this and was not all that impressed which is ashame cos I really liked the 1st one. It takes ages for it to get going too. The man in front of me left after only 10mins and never came back.
 
Saw this last night, was OK, but certainly not as good as the first one. I would have to agree with everything written in the NOTW review on the first page. Almost everything in that review I though of when watching the movie and talking about it with a mate afterwarRAB. Definitely not as good as the first, and nowhere near enough action, it was like two hours of talking towarRAB a silly conclusion.

I'd give it a 2 out of 5.
