Iron Man 2...
 

I'm giving the film an 8 out of 10. I gave the first an 8.5 (or 9). The first film slightly edges this one out, for me.

Don Cheadle was a good replacement for Howard (Rhodey) and his screen time was kept down enough so as to not steal the show. I was at 1st worried about Scarlet's character, who is never referred to as the Black Widow, and that the film would end up too busy; as has often been done with Batman movies. Downey Jr is back as Tony Stark and just as enjoyable to watch as he was in the 1st film.

I even got a a "Stark Industries" beanie upon leaving the theater! :thumbsup:

And yes, stay around to the end of the credits... ;)

That's scary littleD.

I'll see it on Netflix though I'm sure.
Even if only to see Scarlett Johansson.

Scary? How? :shrug:

Scary because I didn't like the first one.
And since most sequels aren't as good as
the first movie (as you said in your review),
that means I might dislike it even more.
But I'm sure it will get Netflixed* by me, if
just for the sound.

Heh heh... well then you might wanna give this one a "pass" if you didn't enjoy the first movie. I was never an Iron Man "fan" growing up and reading comic books... but I dig Robert Downey Jr. and he made the movie "work" for me. :thumbsup:

Speaking of Iron Man, has anyone seen Mickey Rourke's interviews
(Leno, Letterman)? He's one crazy cat. I think he'd jack you if
you said the wrong thing to him.

Mickey was great in "The Wrestler." He was... underused in Iron Man 2. :distress:

I'm going to guess he was a bad guy?

lol yeah, he was the bad guy in dreads...

Saw it today - - - Loved it! :blob2: :)

I wanna see it next weekend! I loved the first one and the good reviews sound like a good sign to me.
