I somehow missed before that Sam Rockwell is in this. That makes it twice as rad!
Judging by the design on the suitcase armor, it looks like it is modeled off of his "Silver Centurion" armor of the '80s, which had a silver and red design.
That little note aside, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS!!!
Oh man seeing War Machine... I have to watch this. Wife is totally getting dragged on that day kicking and screaming. :biggrin:
This is gonna out-do Spider-Man 2, I think.
Fixed that for ya.

I honestly found Incredibles rather predictable and mediocre. Like Avatar, it really had a "been there done that" feel to it. Like Stan Lee said when they asked him about Incredibles "It almost feels like I wrote it", presumably referencing the FF world it heavily borrows from.
I would pay everything I have ever owned, own, and will own to be the extra that Scarlett Johansson has to wrap herself around for that martial arts awesomey thing.
Seriously. In that outfit she could make me do anything. Jump off a bridge? Shoot my brother? Bite my own thumbs off? Sure, you want it done now or should we get a place without a carpet for the blood to spill on, my love?

And the reviews begin to roll in: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/iron-man-2-film-review-1004086551.story
Quote "Well, that didn't take long. Everything fun and terrific about "Iron Man," a mere two years ago, has vanished with its sequel.
In its place, "Iron Man 2" has substituted noise, confusion, multiple villains, irrelevant stunts and misguided story lines. A film series that started out with critical and commercial success will have to settle for only the latter with this sequel; Robert Downey Jr.'s return as Tony Stark/Iron Man will assure that."
Here's hoping the reviewer is wrong.

No, see, this worries me to no end because Iron Man was so fracking awesome that it shot straight to the top of my favorite super-hero movies, a haaaaiiir under Spider-Man 2.
Now, I was thinking that with the origin out of the way, Iron Man 2 had more than enough potential to blow even Spidey 2 out of the waters of awesomeness. IM2 is set, in my mind, to be my favorite superhero movie. Ever. I... I've built it up in my head, I'm afraid to admit.
DAMN YOU DOWNEY JR AND YOUR DRY WITTY CHARM, AND DAMN YOU JON FAVREAU FOR MAKING ME BELIEVE!!

Well with that kind of hype in your head, it'll have no choice but to disappoint.

I believe that I stated during the halfpixel days, right after seeing Iron Man 1, that the sequel will probably suck.
The reason I said this was because although the setup and characterization of the original were amazing, the action in the climax was pretty much mindless, cliched violence that did not show any of the wit, charm, or originality that the first hour and a half of the movie had.
Since all of the set-up was already taken care of in the first movie, I guessed that the sequel would, as most sequels do, focus more on the action -- which likely will be just as cliched as the climax of the first movie.
No one agreed with me when I said this the first time. I hope that I'm wrong about it -- I'd love this to be an amazing sequel as much as anyone else. But if I end up being right, prepare for my comments to ooze smugness for the next few weeks.
I may even use Charlie's emoticon.

It cannot suck. Downey + Tony Stark character = awesome squared. It's maths.

Found a positive review. Basically gave it an 8/10. Some of the details: Robert Downey Jr. rules again as Stark, Rockwell nails it as Justin Hammer and Scarlett is apparently sexier than ever.
