Iron Man 2

[Con Carne]

I just got home from seeing Iron Man 2. As expected, I thought it was awesome. The cast worked well together, they were entertaining, the story stayed consistent, the action was good and it still had a sense of humor like the original.
Here is my complaint. They have to stop using crappy bad guys. No, I don't mean Mickey Rourke, he did just fine. What I'm talking about, is finding bad guys that most haven't heard about or ones that no one cares about. Then saying "Hmmmm, what do we do with these villains? I KNOW! Let's have them dig through Tony Stark's trash cans and upgrade last year's Iron Man model!"
Marvel has entire filing cabinets full of actual villains that could be used ::ahem:: like The Mandarin. But they keep on using villain rejects.
Okay I'm done.
So how do you feel Escapists?

Yeah, I was trying to leave that Easter Egg out. I'm glad Terrance Howard isn't there anymore and Scarlet may be eye candy but in the comics she really is an essential character

I completely agree with you, the characters were great but I was just so underwhelmed by the oh look I've got electric stuff and your dad betrayed my dad, seemed pointless
