Iron Man 2

Posted by William Yeager | Edit Post

I never saw "Iron Man" when it came out back in 2008 but I had always heard that it was good. So in anticipation of "Iron Man 2" coming out I went out and rented "Iron Man." I liked it, I thought it was creative and funny. So because of that I was excited for "Iron Man 2" and I have to say I was not disappointed.

You don't really have to see the first one to get the second one but it helps, so if you haven't seen the first one I recommend that you do and then go see the second one.

"Iron Man 2" is the story of Tony Stark(Robert Downey Jr.) and his invention, the Iron Man suit. Tony is the CEO of Stark Industries which makes high tech weapons for the U.S. government. All of this you get from the first one. In the second one Tony is dealing with trying to live up to the hype of being a superhero, like all superheros do. He also is trying to keep the U.S. government from confiscating the Iron Man suit to use as a military weapon. The main plot line in this film is that Stark Industries is no longer making weapons for the U.S. government so Hammer Industries has taken over. Justin Hammer(Sam Rockwell) is the CEO and Tony hates him. You can easily see it coming so I'll just tell you that Justin is one of the bad guys.

You have to ignore all the stereotypes in this movie because it's a comic book movie, of course it's going to be stereotypical. It has great action sequences and is also pretty funny. I attribute the humor in the film to Jon Favreau being the director. Robert Downey Jr. does an awesome job in this, and the first one. He fits the role perfectly and mixes humor with sarcasm and is still believable as a super hero. This film like the first one also has awesome "future" technology in it which I love. One thing that this film has that its predecessor did not is Scarlett Johansson. Oh man, Scarlett Johansson. Now, I do have to say that I already have a huge thing for her but even if you don't she is so hot in this movie it hurts. She is an added bonus to all the things that made the first one great. I think that "Iron Man 2" is as good if not better than "Iron Man".

I say go see this movie, you won't regret it. You don't have to see the first one but I'm just too OCD about movies not to see the first one in a line of movies so I recommend that you see the first one. I give it a low A.

Mission Statement

You know when a new movie comes out and everyone says its great you have to see it and then you go and find out it blows worse than having some homeless guy take a shit next to your car and then break into your car to use some clothes you left in there to wipe his ass. (Trust me it happens.) Well this blog is to make sure that this never happens to you.  I will try to give you my honest opinion and let you know whether the movie is worth seeing or not.  And if the movie really sucks I will try and give you enough ammo to make fun of it to other people who are dumb enough to like it.

Rating Scale

BK(Bee's Knees): This is primarily reserved for classics like "The Godfather" I don't see any new releases making this grade any time soon.

A: This is for a great movie that is destined for my dvd collection and would see multiple times in theaters. They have that extra something that stands out.

B: This is for movies that are better than just good but they lack that "X" factor. These are ones that you see in the store and are like oh shit I really liked this movie and I forgot about it but now I need to buy it.

C: This is for movies that are just alright. They are predictable, simple and fun to watch but you were a little disappointed when you saw them. You were like damn that movie could've been better, I'm disappointed now. However, you still might put them in your dvd collection if someone gives it to you.

D: This is for movies that just suck. They are either not what you thought they would be or you got tricked or forced into going to see. These are extremely predictable and serve little entertainment. You have no interest in seeing it again and if someone gave it to you, you would defiantly try and sell it for beer money.

SB(Sucks Balls): This category is for movies that just really suck balls. This one, like the BK category, most movies wont fall into but I still have it for movies like "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" remember that movie, man it really sucked balls.
