SouthernJet Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Sequels arent always a enjoyable cinema experience. But in Iron Man 2's case we have a solid entertaining Adventure , Special Effects yarn that will satiate young and old alike. Its boilerplate Good vs Evil but the stellar cast of Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson sure doesnt hurt the production. Basic plot is Government wants Iron Man suit for evil purposes and Stark say no. Russian bad guy physicist Rourke invents a suit to compete and wreaks havoc. Mayhem and shenannigans ensue with laughs, epic fight scenes, doldrums, special effects and some minor love angles to boot. WARNING: There is a 'stinger', aka, extra scene totally after all the credits have rolled. Enjoy the flick. 3 's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaynard Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Saw it last night with the wife and daughter. Loved it. It was difficult watching Scarlett Jo in that super tight outfit and keeping composure. I did let out one very slight gasp and my wife's radar picked it up and poked me in the ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I really liked it, I thought it was going to be corny by the trailers but it only had a couple of corny parts. It had a good balance of comedy and action. If you liked the first one, you'll definitely like the sequel. The things I would do to Scarlett Johansson.....man she is fine. PS. Stay after the trailers, for a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I would also like to chime in and say that Scarlett Johansson is perfect in every conceivable way. The movie wasn't bad, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems to have a bit of an attitude. Probably just needs a good spanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Mickey Rourke is supposed to be good in this. The cast is first rate. I'm a fan of Sam Rockwell, too, and he was also really good. He'll probably be in the next one. She seems to have a bit of an attitude. Probably just needs a good spanking. You know what? You're probably right.

SouthernJet Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'm sure I already know the answer to this, but can my bring my 4 year old son ? Legally yes. But I dont know why you would . Its a little too much with the sadistic tone, eszpecially Roukes character for a 4 year old. Get a babysitter and enjoy the night out kid-free.

Bleedin Green Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'm definitely pumped to go see this, but there's one thing that has me worried. How was Cheadle as War Machine? I have to be honest, I absolutely hated that casting decision. Don't get me wrong, I like Cheadle, just not for this role. I could very easily be proven wrong, I just don't see him having the right kind of attitude to really fit into this particular character. I was disappointed that Terrence Howard wasn't staying in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetman_67 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 This one of those Sequels that is better than the first movie. This movie was way better than the first from script to acting. The little scene at the end is connected with the scene at the end of Hulk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
