I REALLY loved the first one; can't wait to see this!


(PS- if there is another, official thread for this I apologize).

Oh god...

Looking good. Still want The Mandarin, though.

I'm not very familiar with the lore of this, so I'm wondering what exactly Scarlett Johanson's role is. I know she's Black Widow, but is that basically the Cat Woman of Iron Man? Not really evil but not on the good side either? I'm assuming she's mostly temptation for Tony now that he has his boo Pepper

In the comics, Black Widow was a bigwig spy/assassin for SHIELD. Her being in this movie seems like a way to bridge the gap between the Iron Man films and the eventual Avengers films.

Though, given the fact that just the other day, there was talk of Black Cat's role in Spider-Man 4 being revised to some kind of "Vulturette", I guess Black Widow's role could really be anything.

Black Widow is a former Soviet operative and is primarily known as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.- the superpower law enforcement agency of Marvel Comics.

I haven't even bothered to see the first one. The only thing I know about it is that he will drive an audi r8 spider in iron man 2.

Really, I didn't think much of the first film. Don't think I wanna see this.

Sooooo, what's she doing, keeping tabs on Iron Man? Working as a sidekick? Just flying in randomly like the SHIELD guy in the first movie?

Well, if the film version of Nick Fury is in line with the comics version, it's probably a "keeping tabs" kind of thing. As you can see in the trailer, the US government has vested interest in "the Iron Man weapon", and SHIELD is a government-sanctioned organization. Widow's probably there as a way for the US government to keep an eye on Tony without being too obvious about it.

That's just what I'd theorize, though. Again, "Vulturette".

... Eh. Of all the Iron Man villains, they had to pick Whiplash? And who the hell is that actor, and why does he look like a garbage truck ran over his face?

Still, Downey Jr. again appears to feel very much at home in the skin of Tony Stark, I very much like the replacement for Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow is still smokin' hot, and I couldn't be any more in love than I am with that War Machine armor.

 

[Wayte]

Woot woot! Another action movie for the elitist masses to hate!

OT: This makes me happy in ways a pastor would be concerned about ;P

Ha, a kid who doesn't know who Mickey Roarke is.

I really liked the first, but it still felt like something was missing. Here's hoping I was experiencing the same phenomenon that Raimi went though with Spiderman 1-2 and Singer went through with X-men 1-2.

ScarJo in black leather. Yum.

It's Mickey Rourke! The guy that was robbed for Best Actor at the last Oscar awards.

For the unenlightened - Rourke was the single best part of Sin City, and that's saying a lot since the entire film was excellent.

 

[Namulith]

Whiplash is kinda lame, but they seem to be merging him with Crimson Dynamo. Possible double cross by black widow resulting in Whiplash getting his own armor before the end of the film, maybe?

I'll consider taking this comment seriously as soon as you spell his name correctly. By the way, how old are you?

That's Mickey Rourke? I mean, I do know him (and yes, I didn't know about him before Sin City), but in my mind he'll always be Marv, and I just didn't recognize him in this new role.
Anyway, thank you for pointing that out to me. If his acting in Iron Man 2 turns out to be as good as in Sin City, I'm happy.

I'm 29, you naughty little nitpicker, you!

 

[wooty]

Mmm, Paltrow and Johanssen, what a combo

 

[Sonicron]

Well... fine then, you got me beat by 6 years, oldtimer. And I already got my karmic comeuppance for the nitpicking by slicing my thumb open on a goddamn plastic spike protruding from a bottleneck two minutes ago... so there.
Still, as I said, I know Rourke, I just didn't recognize him... the guy apparently doesn't age well. xD
