The second they cast Mickey rourke you could tell something was wrong.

Rourke is cool. The character he's playing is not cool.

Ironman has like the worst villain gallery in comics

Iron Man has a few cool villains, but most of them are really just armored guys like him. The only one I can think of offhand that's kind of different is the Living Laser. There's also the Mandarin, but I always thought he sucked pretty bad.

cool breeze · « **Reply #128 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:46:28 AM »

The structure comes across in this trailer and doesn't make hobo-Rourke seem like the ultimate villain. It looks more like Sam Rockwell is the real baddy who is mass producing these suits. So it will probably be happy life > hobo-Rourke attacking Stark on the track; he loses > Rockwell gets Rourke out of jail to work on the robots > shit goes bad for Stark > PEW PEW PEW BIG ACTION SCENES. Doesn't even look like War Machine is built by Stark in the trailer. But then there is girl who does wrestling moves and Sam Jackson, and I guess they do their own thing.

Ichirou · « **Reply #129 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:49:48 AM »

He used to keep his Iron Man suit in the briefcase in the old comic books, this probably comes from that.

Lemme guess - Black Widow (Scarlett) loves up Tony and steals Iron Man tech, big bad Sam R. mass produces. They would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those damn Iron Man briefcases!

Ichirou · « **Reply #132 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:58:18 AM »

Makes sense she'd be a corporate spy in the movie since she started off as a spy character in the comics (I think).

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #133 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:58:46 AM »

She was originally a full-on villain(ess). They could go either way with it. Or have her revealed as a double-agent all along yadda yadda.

cool breeze · « **Reply #134 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:59:43 AM »

The suitcase looks like a cheapo weak suit. Earlier in the same trailer you see hobo-Rourke kicking his ass, but of course the trailer already tells you that he survives somehow.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #135 on:** March 08, 2010, 02:03:12 AM »

I think Sam R would use Rourke's knowledge and tech. Black Widow is probably some subplot to that.

Obvioulsy even for a piece of fiction they have to make it 'plausible'. Hence it is his weaker suit. Otherwise they'd make his suit fit in a mint tin.

I don't understand you guys, that trailer looked awful and I am probably going to skip the movie now.

the trailer made it seem like Stark vs everyone else. At some point War Machine will join him, but the trailer makes it seem like the War Machine suit isn't even built by Stark, rather Whiplash and Rockwell + Government (I assume).

and the two reasons why this trailer was good: because the first one was awful and Sam Rockwell was present. The first Iron Man was half about Tony Stark acting up and the action. Trailer makes it seem like it's more of that.

Seems to me like War Machine is a prototype developed by Stark & the government. I think it's like a revenge of the sith plot. Government puts out a tender or 'iron man' suits. Stark finally relents and works with Rhodes on a model but Rockwell wins the bid. Rockwell\Whiplash mutinies and trys to take over the world with them. Iron Man and War Machine stop him\them. Black Widow is trying to stop all of them for the glorious benefit of Russia but then finally joins Stark to save the world or something.

It would describe why there is only one War Machine suit.

First movie wasn't that great, don't see how this could be any worse. At least they're upping the action, which the first film was seriously lacking in.

I was shocked to hear this is tracking to do really well, somewhere in TDK territory apparently. No one I know is talking about it irl and no one (myself included) seems to have any interest in it. The first film was mediocrity to the nth degree and this looks even more scatter-shot and forgettable.

Transformers 2 made even more money than the first movie. Now THAT is a head-scratcher.

People loved the first Iron Man, including here. Hell I enjoyed it in the theater. The problem is that it's simply not a good movie, it's just real glitzy. Seems right up many people's alley though.

The Dark Shake 3000 · « **Reply #164 on:** April 21, 2010, 03:23:14 PM »

I literally remember nothing about the first other than the fact Downey, Paltrow and Bridges were in it, there was some subplot about really stereotypical terrorists, and the score was all the most overplayed metal songs of all time. It was so lazy and cliche.

Cheebs · « **Reply #165 on:** April 21, 2010, 03:46:03 PM »

This one also adds like 100 new characters. Multiple sidekicks and like 3 bad guys. Over-loading on the characters in sequels is pretty much the kiss of death for super hero movies.

And it was rushed into production. Both Downey and Faverau said they would have rather waited 3 years like TDK but Marvel wanted this done quick. How often does that work out for the best?

Yeti · « **Reply #166 on:** April 21, 2010, 03:46:11 PM »

I loved the first movie but this sequel hasn't even really been on my radar at all, I was surprised it was coming out this summer.

The Dark Shake 3000 · « **Reply #167 on:** April 21, 2010, 03:47:37 PM »

DC: We put out a new film every three or four years, but for the most part they're worth the wait

Marvel: Four every summer! Hey guys, you want Ghost Rider 2? Well, here you go!

Diunx · « **Reply #168 on:** April 21, 2010, 04:00:10 PM »

Marvel didn't do Ghost Rider, the only movies they have done are Ironman and The Incredible Hulk.

The Dark Shake 3000 · « **Reply #169 on:** April 21, 2010, 04:02:24 PM »

Both of those sucked, too.

And while Marvel didn't produce Ghost Rider in-house they are still at least tangentially responsible for what an abomination that film was. Never again.

Wow great track record there.

They are on a track to ruin their franchises. They are rushing everything out as fast as possible to do the avengers and keeping everything tied together in one continuity. And they plan to keep doing sequels to thor/iron man/captain america at the same time as doing multiple avenger movies despite the fact they share leads.

They are turning their self-produced films into everything that is wrong with comics. They signed both chris evans and samuel l. jackson to nine film contracts. They'll probably have to resign them in 3 years based at the rate they plan to force these characters at you.

You get to see captain america and thor twice in less than one year. Not to mention iron man 3 times in the span of 4 years. It's overkill.

Seriously, downey is good as Stark but by the time iron man 3 hits which they already announced you'll have see him four times as a lead in the span of 6 years. That is way too fucking much. These aren't comics.

Huh

Iron Man was the feel good movie of its year, in the same sense that Pirates of The Caribbean was. Whether you liked the movie or not is largely irrelevant to the great word of mouth it received, and the reason why Iron Man 2 isn't being really fucking hyped amongst the nerd crowd is because Iron Man was a mainstream success mostly, and wasn't a movie that had high goals in terms of its story and characters.

Iron Man 2 is tracking huge because, unlike say, Kick Ass for example....the mainstream crowd is gonna fill those theaters no questions asked. Same goes for the buzz, nerds talk Kick Ass but people just wanna go see Iron Man 2, and all they have to say is "Trailer was cool, i'm watching it", nobody gives a fuck about knowing stuff before it happens. Which is exactly what's so creepy about these Dark Knight fanboys.

No surprise really, as DC fanboys are the most vocal online, while Marvel got the short end of the stick by selling the most.

Worth the wait, Superman Returns....biggest pile of shit ever.

So "feel good" trumps something that people clearly took time making, working up anticipation for, and which happens to be one of the biggest films (and critically successful to boot) of all time?

Yeah, you make no fucking sense. Who's the fanboy?
