IRON MAN 2-review inside

[ironmanfan]

I hope the next film will be with the Hulkbuster suit and with The Hulk!

Saw it for the first time today and LOVED IT! Great movie and I thought they moved the original storyline along just fine. I appreciated the fact they focused heavily on story and character development and not just 'action moments'. But I will say the finale was a big payoff and I was impressed! Can't wait to get this on DVD.

Sam Rockwell plays the part well. He's like the mirror opposite of Tony Stark; Totally uncool, non-hip, and skeevy as all get-out. Did you guys notice his tan? That was funny.

Hope he doesn't become the Richard Pryor of Iron Man 3.

Gary Shandling plays his character fairly straight. It's Scott Rockwell that would be the one bringing the funny, but I think he does a good job with his stuffed shirt comic relief bits in contrast with the deadly serious Micky Rourke. I generally really like Scott Rockwell though (he was the standout in Galaxy Quest IMHO).

Great chemistry between Tony and Pepper. Particularly when they start bickering while he's fighting the drones. I would really love to see her get her Rescue armour in a subsequent film.

I enjoyed it.

I apologise if that constitutes a spoiler....but, since the cats' already out of the bag...yes

While it could be said that Shandling spoils everything this is no big give away considering his apppearance in the trailers

He's not in it a whole lot...but its an interesting role.

I saw it today. I would go back right now and see it. I thought it kept the same tone and humor. Further character development and great action.

Gary Shandling's in it?

One reviewer said that the humor was silly. Obviously they never sat thru conan the destroyer, or Batman & Robin.
I thought it felt like the same tone as the last one.
They packed A LOT into it, but I felt it all came together in the end.

I have no idea where the negative backlash is coming from.
Been a long time since I saw the theaters so packed, so it doesn't seem like the nay sayers are getting to people.

I'm a naysayer I guess...but I'm not looking to keep people from the theatre I'm just not an avid of the franchise from the start.
If its a hit that most enjoyed...bless 'em.

Thanks for the answer to my "silly" question...heck, I thought Garry Shandling was the best part of the movie...silly or not silly

Not silly at all.

Has anyone said IM2 was silly?

[GUYx1]

I really enjoyed it. Almost went to see it a second time. Not silly at all. Sure Nick Fury wasn't hard boiled, but I actually paid good money to see Captain America & Masters of the Universe.
The complainers seem to be real whiners. I watched the Dr Strange TV show and the IM2 movie was lightyears better. Reminded me of a comicbook character study.

Can't wait for more
