Just finished seeing this. I like the first one better. Way too much technical blahblahblah in this one.*Very minor DJ-related white text spoiler below* [color:white]However, DJ AM had a cameo which made the whole movie for me. Dude's AC/DC-style logo was prominently displayed AND Starks even referred to him as Goldstein! I cheered out loud and got dirty looks but I didn't care one bit. The man deserved it.[/color]

How was Cheedle?
Ha! I stopped short of cutting and pasting the same update though!
Scarlett is back in the fantasy file.
There was a shoutout at the ending credit together with the AC/DC style logo. I was quite shocked to see that cameo actor and I thought...the movie must have shot some time ago.
The post credit coda...is it a teaser of THOR?
Or The Avengers
Well they even remade the Punisher w/ War Zone after the Travolta debacle.
Iron Man is healthy. Hulk Sucks. And I dont wanna see an Avengers Movie w/out a proper Captain America movie. I want a trilogy. (1)WW2/Saving Private Ryan/Inglorious Bastards.
(2) Found frozen in ice,adjustment to society(60's era), character/Steve Rogers established/ Nazi Sleeper cells/ love story to get it out of the way -maybe a Shield agent.
(3) Full blown superhero flick - Save the day....big villain Red Skull..etc.
then The Avengers.
America needs a well written Captain America flick.
Did you see what Tony Stark did to the Captin America shield in Iron Man 2? I hope it's just a wry joke otherwise it'd be damn hard for a Captain American movie to see the light of day.
Then again, they might go the X-men route by having all the character in one movie to build up the steam and then have character-based movie (taht goes without saying that the Wolverine movie sucks)
That said, I'm just happy to see a Nick Fury Flick.
There have been 3 Punisher movies. But i wouldnt call it a franchise.
I didnt see 2 yet to comment on the Sheild. In the first one there was a reference to Tony "making" the shield. Whether he created it(Vibranium/Adamantium mix) or created the special polymer paint on the disc that keeps the flag unscathed. Whatever.
I can see the X-Men route where Cap comes out of that, but dude deserves his own flick IMO, w/out being tied to Shield,Nick,Tony,Thor, or Avengers.
There will be a Captain America movie. If I remember right, the guy who played the Human Torch in the FF movies is gonna play Cap / Steve Rogers.
From here it's gonna be Thor then Captain America then The Avengers (possibly another Hulk movie somewhere in there too, I forget)
If you are seeing IM2 in the theater, stick around til a minute into the credits.
As an aside, I kinda liked the most recent one, War Zone. It was probably the best way you could adapt the Ennis-style Punisher for the big screen -- make a throwback 80s action flick with the godawful puns & conservative leaning politics, and keep the cartoonishly gory violence from the comic.
Playing howard stark of course
I liked the movie, especially all the phony technical stuff.
best use of the song pick up the pieces [/b] in a feature film.
sounded glorious in my plush impossibly-loud hyper-dolby movie theater here in taiwan...
They are getting very lazy with these franchise movies. It would be nice to see a fully formed story with a beginning and end. These are more like episodes. Not a very satisfying theater experience.
U silly for taking her out.
With the exception of Chaplin, Downey always seems like he's being himself in his roles. I don't really see much of a range there
You should rediscover your wang then
don't care. I've enjoyed most of the movies he's been in: zodiac, iron man 1 & 2, tropic thunder, the soloist, etc
Bingo.
I actually like this one better than the first.
The first one was "more balanced", but that ending was for the birds.
This climax was much better, even though it still wasnt bombastic as should be.
As for Downey Jr. Im beginning to hatt on his take on Tony Stark. Way way too charismatic/mouthy for what im used to reading in the books over the years.
I feel like Bale's Bruce Wayne has a better feel on how to be a reserved Billionaire than Downey's(Favre's take)Stark. Way too much "I love me" shit in the story...IMO. Stark acts like new money vs Bale's Old money take on the Superhero/Dual Identity game.
Its a different steez - yes. Stark is public w/ his, but dude seems like he wants to party all the time. And I never got that from Stark in the books. When he's doing the scientific thang it seems way more revealing than the "I want one of those" type attitude.
Johansssen - i didnt know she had curves like that. They did her up. I cant front.
I still prefer Paltrow's elegance over that shit though.
But I was mad geeked to see The Black Widow up in this shit. Widow Sting FTW!
Cheedle did his thang. The War Machine thang was a little suprising. They put a spin on it vs. the traditional story of him gettin a suit.
Drunk Iron Man =
O'Rourke - Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo - cool
The cat who played Justin Hammer almost stole the show.
