[...] I wasn’t a particularly big fan of Iron Man 2 like my colleague Mr. Paul Tassi was, that doesn’t mean I didn’t find the hype for this movie to be [...]

no. they didn’t come together, ther movie was all over the place giving little to no time for each individual element. there were too many characters, too many subplots and not enough time for any real coherent story; it was too busy building up for the Avengers to remember it had to be a film in its own right. plus Tony Stark changed from the *cough* ‘loveable rogue’ that he was in the first one to the egotistical destructive prick we see in this one. maybe this was closer to the comics, but after the joys of the first one I found it a major let down.

I know everyone’s alittle bummed by Scarlett’s performance in IM2 (will I be seen as the trend setter for calling the movie that? Probably not).
But, that particular story line will be essential in the long run if they decide to do the Avengers movie in the way the ULTIMATES comic book was created. She’ll have a pivotal role hopefully her blandness will pay off and she’ll show more expression.
I like movies that try to lay the ground work for future things to come. Not everything has to be explained just for the sake of neatly wrapping loose ends up…..some things SHOULD be alittle mysterious.

What’s funny to me about this movie is that one quarter all of my favorite actors are in this movie: Don Cheadle, Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Roarke, Scarlett Johannsen, Terrence Howard (IM1 although, he blew it with his attitude and choice of acting), Samuel L. Jackson and even Jude Law’s voice is envolved (if I’m not mistaken; as Jarvis the butler).

Haven’t had a chance to watch this movie yet, but I don’t walk into these kind of movies expecting anything.

In fact, I find it somewhat irritating that people give this movie a crappy rating not because the movie was actually worse than the first, but rather that they are tired of the formula and are not willing to admit it. Like I said, I have not seen the movie yet, but just judging from the reviews, I can say that 90% of the people’s bitching comes from the above statement.

What I mean is that nowdays, nearly all sequals are at least as good as the first movie. Some people are going to disagree with me on this, but do you really think that transformers 2 was actually worse than the first 1. ok, the story was crap, but the special effects and basic set up is exactly the same. The 2nd movie waaay out done the first. People were impressed by the first movie because of the novelity of cars transforming on the big screen. Think about it, both movies had rediculous settings.

Anyways, I was not all that impressed with the first iron man, it’s one of those “oh yeah, I m entertained because I haven’t seen it before” kind of thing. There was hardly any action, Robert Downey Jr. carried the movie by acting like an ass hole. From what I’ve seen so far, that hasn’t changed. Instead of seeing the movie for what it is, people use something else as an excuse for not liking the movie.

sorry for the long rant. stuff like that just grinds my gears.

Just got back; spot on review. I love [Fav-row] too, it seems like all the ‘bit’ parts were played by good actors.

My wife said, though, that Scarlett Johansson was ‘meh’.

I said, “Pajiba and Unreality said the same thing, they said-”

“She’s only in for her tits and ass.”

“Well then, that is exactly what Unreality said.”

She then went onto tear apart Hammer in such a way that leads me to believe that you, Paul, are sleeping with my wife and whispering sweet movie reviews in her ear.

Oh, and the grown man child that sat behind me in the theater that would cry “Holy Cow!” aloud every time something blew up or flashed on screen totally completed the comic book movie experience.

awesome review as usual! I also liked how they fixed the plot hole from the first movie about why stark didn’t mass produce the arc reactor tech. it was like watching an episode of Lost in a weird sort of plot fixing way. I would like say that I think I couldve enjoyed this movie more if the trailers hadn’t revealed so much, but then again who’d go see it if they hadn’t shown you the glimpse of war machine.

@J5
Consider yourself lucky for not finishing Cube Zero, as the final revelation of it completely ruins the awesomely ambiguous ending of the first (and best) Cube film.

On a related note, I can’t wait for Splice from the same director

Anyone else want a set of suitcase armor?

Okay, I have to ask this at a wider audience: I am the only one thinking that the robots Vanko built look suspiciously like Ultron?

By the way, are there any rumours regarding the villain (or villains) of the Avengers movie?
