Ironman 2 vs Ironman...which one you guys like better ?

The first one was great, haven't seen the second one yet but I will.

 

Going to see IM2 tomorrow morning at 9:30. I will post my two centavos after I get home. I am a huge comic book geek, so I doubt I will be disappointed.

 

Saw it this afternoon at IMAX. Music from AC/DC opens and closes the movie.
Gary Shandling was great as a weasely politician. Mickey Rourke was a great villain.

No spoilers here.

 

No spoilers....but I prefer the sequel, except for the fact the in 2 villains have little exposition IMO. But the action is fantastic, and I thought it had a great sense of humor to it--lots of subtle one-liners and remarks.

The other thing--I like how both of these movies portray science as "cool". Tony Stark isn't a nerd who can't get a date in these movies--quite the opposite. Maybe that's a good thing for kids to see onscreen, that you don't have to be ashamed to be smart, want to solve problems, and be passionate about something.

 

I must be Jaded or saw a different movie, for me it was tedious, although I did enjoy Shandling.

 

Toss up for me, liked them both lots!

Scarlet gets better and better, and I used to have no use for her...

 

And I liked the ACDC .

I should add Ive been a fan and reader of comics for years.

 

Liked the first one much better, despite the presence of Rourke, Shandling and Scarlet (yowsa!!!!) in the sequel.

 

Loved the first one, def. seeing the second...in *spite* of the AC/DC.....

 

Saw it this morning in IMAX ( wow ). Great flick. Calling politicians " ass clowns " would make any movie for me.Tons of action, good characters and great setup for the Thor, Capt. America and Avengers movies. IMAX is the bomb! Soooo worth the extra few bucks. This comic book geek left in a state of dorkified bliss.

 

liked the 1st one but thought the 2nd was all about product placement and selling action figures at Burger King. Mickey Rourke kind of stole the show a bit. Scarlet what'sherface was truly woeful.

 

It is easy to forget it supposed to have the comic book flow. But Favreau was showboating a little too much maybe. Need to stop hanging with Quentin maybe.

But it is just supposed to be entertainment/ing, and for me it sure was. The humor was a little tigher in IM One, the robot RDjr interactions etc... but all good in my book.

 

I also want to throw this in. Robert Downey, Jr. is Tony Stark / Iron Man. No one person in any superhero movie franchise ( except maybe Chris Reeve ) was so perfectly matched to a character. I am thankful that he was able to overcome his demons and allow his gift to come to life again. I mean really, after all his problems, did anyone really think he would still be alive, much less where he is today?

P.S. Am I the only person who thinks Gwyneth Paltrow is more attractive than Mrs. Johansen?

 

Heads and tails above!

 

The Iron Man movies haven't worked for me at all. Having said that, Iron Man 1 was infinitely better than Iron Man 2. I think IM2 was a total mess. The film had no tone, the story was all over the place and there was no development between characters. If not for Robert Downey Jr., the movie would have been completely unwatchable. YMMV.

 

More, much more in a different way. SJ is the hot little biscuit, GP is just a deliciously handsome woman to me.

I would be chatting up GP and ignoring SJ at a party. Or giving SJ attention and making sure GP saw it, then.. never mind... neither would take the likes of me, so hat is the use.

Sorry for the objectification gals.

 

As someone said, the story is a bit all over the place, so I prefer the first one (Tony's character is also less arrogant in that one) the second one is worth watching for Sam Rockwell 's awesome sleaziness

 

I am liking him more and more with each part since The Green Mile, which he was way too funny for a psycho killer, 'quesque c'est'.
