fathom Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Had the day off from work, so I went to see Iron Man 2 at 2:20 PM. It was a fun popcorn movie, nothing special. The women in the movie wear some intriguing outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Just got back from Iron Man 2, and I was quite disappointed. The first was far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Also saw Iron Man 2. Be prepared to be entertained, but not impressed. I think this movie would get better reviews had the first one not been so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 IRON MAN 2=2.75 stars (first one was far better, Scar-Jo is cute and thinner and spunky, but MEHHH like Teahen and Transformers 2...if Robert Downey, Jr., wasn't such a talented actor, it would be worse, Mickey Rourke was ridiculous and I missed the seriously underrated Terrence Howard) KICK-ASS=3.25 stars (I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but understand those fixated on the over-the-top violence too) Has anyone seen How To Train Your Dragon? Not for me, just considering whether the 3-D cost would be worth it for a 13-14 year old boy....my g/f and I would be taking him to the movies. That movie has held up remarkably well in the theatres.

OilCan Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 How to Train Your Dragon is an awesome movie. Very underrated. Funny yet pretty serious in some parts too. If I had to see it again in the theaters it would be in 3-d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) Don Cheadle was TERRIBLE in Iron Man 2. The CGI and Robert Downey Jr. were the only two reasons to see that movie. Everything else was very underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (OilCan @ May 8, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) How to Train Your Dragon is an awesome movie. Very underrated. Funny yet pretty serious in some parts too. If I had to see it again in the theaters it would be in 3-d. It's at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, 8.3 on IMDB and has made $200M at the box office, I'm not sure "underrated" is the right word for it.

Kyyle23 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 How to Train Your Dragon was awesome in IMAX 3D, I cannot emphasize that enough. I love living near Barrington AMC 30. I am looking forward to the sequel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 QUOTE (G&T @ May 9, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Here's the story I dont get that one bit, I thought Howard was awesome in the first Iron Man and the perfect actor for the role, imo from the get go Don Cheadle didn't sound like a good person for the role and I was pretty upset that they changed actors. Maybe Im wrong, but I thought the general public was perfectly fine with the job Howard did in the first Iron Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Meh. Both Howard and Cheadle are very forgettable in the role. That being said it's a pretty fun action movie. I didn't really dig Mickey Rourke's character. I'm still trying to figure out what his beef was, and I couldn't really figure out if he was a bad guy or a good guy. And all that stuff about the new element... chincy plot device that made my eyes gloss over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
