"Iron Man 2"

Managed to get tickets on Friday night for Iron Man 2... and wish I hadn't! The movie just simply SUCKS. There's just so much talking and talking and more talking, I wish Robert Downey Jr. would just stop mumbling.

It's not without its high points though. First off.. what a cool poster:

The highlight is at the F1 race where Whiplash trashed Tony Stark's car. That was intense and certainly lived up to the trailer. In fact, I found myself rooting for Whiplash (played by Mickey Rourke) as he seemed the more intriguing character. Of course, although her character was one dimensional, Scarlett Johansson is always a pleasure to watch :)

That's it! All the fun from the first movie were not present. Jokes were not funny. It's no spoiler, but when the time came for the final battle, it was over in less than 1 minute. WTF. Really, WTF... we were made to drag through 1.5 hours of non stop... talking... gosh...

Another sign of milking a franchise for quick money?
