Speaking of which, Captain America and Thor both get referenced (though the latter only after the end credits).
I was surprised at how much I sympathized with Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer. He was supposed to be a villain, but he had this endearing nerdy schtick going that really worked for him. He was like the low-glamour, jealous version of Tony Stark. The scene where he was demo-ing weapons to Rhodey for the war machine suit just had me laughing so hard. Anyway. Iron Man 2. Better than # 1. I was pretty well entertained. I always find it worrisome if it seems a sequel is going the 'ever more villains/subplots per sequel' route or something similar, as a way to try to up the ante/excitement. Sometimes it becomes so 'busy' everything becomes kind of lost, if that makes sense. Too many cooks, as they say. From what I've read it seemed Ironman2 might be falling into that. I take it you felt it all gelled together? I've heard this, and my friend said this too, but I finally got around to seeing it today and it's just not true. It all pretty much worked as a solid story, there was not too much of anything. Although I did feel the inclusion of S.H.I.E.L.D. felt a bit shoehorned in, but I was prepared for that considering it was the same in the first flick. I'm a bit antsy about the Avengers movie though. Joss Whedon directing a superhero flick featuring a whole bunch of well-known superheroes, played by people like Samuel L Jackson, Robert Downey Jr and Edward Norton? The anticipation level on this is going to rise through the roof and there is no way any film can live up to that.

Has anyone posted the Inception trailer yet? Looks mind boggling.

The four feathers. Hope that you never get them. Because you won't be so awesome ridding yourself of shame.

Iron Man 2. The first was better; so was Kickass. The effects were friggin' epic though... They devote far to much time to him being depressed/dying, IMO. I didn't go to Iron Man to see emoting, I wanted to see him blow **** up... Which he did plenty of, to be sure. Also, pseudoscience FTW!

Overall I thought it was better than the original, but the final conflict ended way to fast |
