    I really enjoyed the 1st one. I didn't really have any expectations going in except that the last few big-budget summer movies I'd been to were... shall we say... less than satisfying (looking at you Transformers 1) and I thought this might be in the same vein. As it turns out, the the worst part was the use of the overly obvious Black Sabbath song of the same name.

    I'm really looking forward to #2. :)

    The same for me. Didn't expect much of the first one and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing this one too.

    Underrated? It was universally loved and made a ton of money. I'd hardly call that underrated. Can't wait for the new one.

    looks to me like they tried to do too much with this one... hopefully i'm wrong... but i just know how marvel likes to ruin a good thing with poorly considered fanfare

    and whats with casting don cheadle?? great actor... dont get me wrong... he just doesnt have the build

    all that said... I CANT WAIT

    Don Cheadle was the original choice, but due to his filming schedule they went with Terrance Howard (who was actually paid more than RDJ for IM1 due to Downey's Insurance costs). Howard then demanded a HUGE raise, and more money than RDJ again for the sequel. Marvel basically said, screw you, and went with their first choice instead. I really can't blame them for that. Also, RDJ's Insurance premium has gone down significantly for good behavior so he's getting paid actual movie star dollars for the sequel.

    ah... gotcha

    I figured it was just hollywood "all black guys look the same" recasting

    glad there was some logic behind it

    guess it just got harder out there for a pimp

    here's the first review...and it is terrible. says the only good thing about it is scarlett johanson. seeing her in that latex suit is the only reason im planning on seeing this one anyway though :mrgreen:

    from the Hollywood Reporter:
    Iron Man 2 -- Film Review
    By Kirk Honeycutt, April 27, 2010 03:07 ET

    Updated: 3:06 p.m. ET April 27, 2010

    LOS ANGELES -- Well, that didn't take long. Everything fun and terrific about "Iron Man," a mere two years ago, has vanished with its sequel.

    In its place, "Iron Man 2" has substituted noise, confusion, multiple villains, irrelevant stunts and misguided story lines. A film series that started out with critical and commercial success will have to settle for only the latter with this sequel; Robert Downey Jr.'s return as Tony Stark/Iron Man will assure that.

    For a film riding a wave of unbridled achievement from its predecessor, "Iron Man 2" begins with a curious sense of panic. Characters talk at once. Hesitant story lines launch in all directions. The soundtrack and music clang away, but onscreen, little happens until a big set-piece at a Grand Prix race nearly 20 minutes into the movie.

    Downey's Stark, the Howard Hughes-like creator of Iron Man's software and hardware and its embodiment when he dawns the flying iron suit, is suffering from megalomania and a blood-toxicity condition. These seem to be leading Stark into severe mental instability.

    Other plot lines revolve around a congressional hearing and a nasty senator (Garry Shandling), a rival entrepreneur (Sam Rockwell), a dishy new assistant (Scarlett Johansson) as a rival to his Girl Friday (Gwyneth Paltrow), a demented Russian inventor (Mickey Rourke with tattoos splayed across his body), psychological issues involving Stark's late father, a sidekick (Don Cheadle) and the deterioration of Stark's corporation.

    What is at stake here? The fate of the world? The emergence of a new superpower? No, it all seems to pivot around who will win a new Defense contract. Wow, there's an emotional grabber.

    A new writer, actor Justin Theroux, must have "Cut to:" installed as a default in his screenwriting software. When in doubt, his script cuts to a new place -- Moscow, Monte Carlo, Malibu -- character or situation, not all of them credible or logical.

    An actor as formidable as Samuel L. Jackson doesn't even show up until the movie feels like it's winding down. He wears an eye patch and an air of uncertainty. Who's he supposed to be? Oh, he's Johansson's real boss. Meanwhile, she struts through the film in various stages of dress and undress, which might be the best thing about "Iron Man 2" for its younger male fans.

    What made the original film so, well, original, was the notion of a superhero as a conflicted individual with enough complexes and mental crises that saving the planet became a sort of stress-relief valve. Now he's borderline psychotic. Not that Downey has any qualms about tackling messed-up bad boys, but the film never makes clear whether he's just being Tony or really cracking up.

    The CGI fight scenes quickly become tedious, their outcomes really never in doubt and the mechanics rather clunky. The sight of metal men smashing one another about without drawing any real blood is more reminiscent of the sandbox games of a child with his toys than any movie magic. That actually was true of the first movie as well, but one overlooked it because Tony's prickly personality so dominated the action. Here, Tony has to fight too many over-the-top characters for audience attention. He loses that battle.

    Visual and CGI effects are the best and worst thing about "Iron Man 2." The film relies far too much on them. They catch one up in the action, but, unfortunately, nothing else does

    I love2.gif her.

    But I don't like the soundtrack to this film. I was so excited to see this LOUD! The first film kicked ass. The 2nd one looks like it's gonna kick ass, yet again! But why lord, why is this film using rehashed old greatest hit tunes by AC/DC? :cry:

    Can't wait to see it. I won't get to catch it on opening night though- I'll be in Indy for Pearl Jam! 8-)

    Agreed... but swap Scarlett for Robert Downey Jr... I love him :oops: and to paraphrase 'I want one' :D

    They should make a million iron mans. I could see things that they could certainly iron out for the third one but it just made me more excited about the third one. Thought the soundtrack was UNDERused though :oops:
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Chicago 07? And love

    i am FINALLY going to watch the first iron man tonight. i bought it on the way home from work. planning on seeing 2 tomorrow.

    i've just been waiting and waiting and waiting for it to be in rotation on hbo or showtime or even on demand but it never happened. i expected on demand to have it there like they did with the batman movies leading up to dark knight.


    watch......i pay 13 bucks for it today and it's gonna be on tv tonight. i can pretty much guarantee this will happen..
