Recommended Posts

yeah probably should of put a source...I didnt notice them myself seeing as I haven't even seen the movie!

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 ;)

Kicking off the official summer movie season, IM2 already has earned $194M overseas from almost 60 territories where it opened before the U.S. and Canada, so that's a $327M worldwide cume. Top grossing countries were Britain and Korea with $23M each. Here's the Top 10:

1. Iron Man 2 (Marvel/Paramount) NEW [4,380 Runs]

Friday $52.4M, Saturday $46.5M, Weekend $133.6M, Cume $327M

3. How To Train Your Dragon (DWA/Par) Week 7 [3,003 Runs]

10. Babies (Focus Features) NEW [534 Runs]

Friday $381K, Saturday $689K, Estimated Weekend $1.5M

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.

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.

^ 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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
