all the marvel connections are awesome, this is how a superhero franchise should be done.

[Razorwing]

Awesome stuff Rappeh! I gotta go watch Hulk again.:D

[MR_Candyman]

Just saw the movie. I am definitely buying this when it comes out like I did the first. The ONLY thing I didn't like was how short the end fight was.

Saw it a couple of days ago, and all I have to say is:

Scarlett Johanson + Black Leather + Awesome fights = :wub:

Oh and there's Tony Stark in it too :p

Stay through the credits!

Saw this movie yesterday. Definitely a fun movie to watch.

[Xero]

Saw it the other day. I think I liked the first better. Origin stories are a plus, pacing was nicer and it had Jeff Bridges! However 2 was really awesome. It seemed a bit hectic and mixed up. Hard to keep up with a solid storyline. Still entertaining and Scarjo is mmm appealing ;)

who cares?

because I want to know.

It's a good movie but doesn't have the good balance of drama and action as the first one. I'd say 8/10. :/

[Solth]

The movie was defiantly worth it, the special effects were amazing in my opinion. I have only really two gripes with the movie (spoiler alert)

1. Mickey Rourke (Ivan Vanko) - When he was rammed on the race course, what was protecting him from a pretty much lethal crushing injury??? as far as I could see there was no lower torso protection at all.

2. The last *big* fight was really disappointing between Iron Man/War Machine and Ivan Vanko. Way too short and really just a uninspiring right.

Other then these minor issue I did really enjoy the rest of the movie and a must summer see movie.

[Scorbing]

I went to see it last night. I'm sorry but although it had it's funny and entertaining moments, it sucked compared to the first one. There was way too much dialog and not enough Iron Man action. Mickey Rourke's character hardly had any screen time. Iron Man's action scenes were very short, especially the final battle with the Rourke character. Too much Tony Stark and not enough Iron Man. They spent too much time on dialogs.

[.Kompressor]

awesome ! just watched it.....Scarlett was hot :) damn!!! :whistle:

[Scorbing]

Scarlett stole the show...The rest was crap.

[Xero]

^ I'd say that a bit over critical but I agree with your complaints. It was 90% Stark, 10% Iron Man. Scarlett indeed stood out, as did Rockwell. Loved his little dance at the Expo. The action sequences were really short which was underwhelming, but it's no surprise neither could take on Iron Man, he needs a worthy foe. I wasn't annoyed with the amount of dialog but I would like to see more Iron Man sequences. Not necessarily fighting as you don't want pure action. But I did enjoy the scenes of him flying around and taking out small groups of baddies in the first.

All I can say is it ended with many of the boring and annoying problems solved. Meaning the 3rd should be able to hit the ground running. This was more about character development and dealing with the aftermath of the first. As awesome as Whiplash was, he felt under-utilized.

[bob_loblaw]

For those complaining about all Stark and not enough Iron Man....Tony Start IS Iron man!!! Haha

No but really, how is there not enough Iron Man? He was in the suit most of the time. Sometimes even just for the hell of it. I thought there was decent exposure of both. If there's one thing that there isn't enough of, it's Scarlett. Damn she was hot.

[Xero]

Stark and Iron Man are quite different. Made more evident when Fury

declines Stark but accepts Iron Man to join Avengers.

Stark is a cocky, party guy who rarely thinks of others. Whereas Iron Man is the hero who fights to protect others. In the first he was very honourable, in the second he was mostly drunk ****ing around. Now it was entertaining sure, but I wanted to see the hero more. It focused too much on Tony dealing with being Iron Man and not enough about Iron Man dealing with the villains of the marvel universe.

[bob_loblaw]

Oh...I thought everyone is talking about screen time...you meant the characters...Ok. Now that you cleared that up, I agree.

But I thought the movie was awesome nonetheless.

Fyi...

In the comic, Tony Stark does go through a stage of heavy drinking...which is where Rhodes came in to wear the iron man suit while Tony was incapacitated some of the time...

So the drunken reckless behaviour was straight out of the comic...lol

yeah but he was drunk because there was a party. I'm not sure in the comic though... I think he drinks all the time, that is why War Machine takes over for a bit.
