Iron Man 2: A Must See!!!

Here ye here ye, the summer’s first blockbuster is finally upon us today and it’s called Marvel’s Iron Man 2. Yes, movie goers Robert Downey Jr. is back as Tony Stark, the wealthy playboy who has all the fun gadgets, oh and also as suit he slips on from time to time. Unlike the first film, Tony Starks is now known as Iron Man throughout the public, instead of hiding in the shadows, but his overexposure of his new personal has made him cockier and that has attracted a new enemy named, “Whiplash,” played by Mickey Rourke.

Some people are saying the this film’s plot is reminiscent of Rocky III, where the character Rocky Balboa, gets so wrapped up with the fame and fortune associated with being the boxing champion of the world, that he loses his belt to a much hungrier boxer, Clubber Lang. Rocky must remember what made him successful and with some help from family and friends he fight his way back to reclaim his bet from Clubber Lang.

Jon Favreau directed both the first installment and this sequel. The first film’s gross revenue pull in an estimated amount of $585,133,287 and all bets that it’s sequel Iron Man 2 will supersede it by leaps and bounds. For example, on its opening midnight shows Thursday, Paramount’s Iron Man 2 open to a 7.5 million debut, while it’s presence is already being felt in 53 other countries already raking in $132 million. So if you have been saving up your movie watching money for months, in hopes of a sure thing for your bottom dollar, then look no future to Iron Man 2. It should be a thrill ride. Critics are giving it a 3 out of 5 star rating and Rotten Tomatoes are giving it a 71% on their Tomatometer.

Things to look for in the sequel: actress Scarlett Johanasson, providing the “eye candy” for the male audiences dressed in a skin tight cat suit, actor Don Cheadley replaces Terrence Howard as James "Rhodey" Rhodes-Tony's best friend, Captain American’s shield, a rare glimpse of Thor (opens 2011), and the scene after the credits. Do not leave the movie theater without waiting for the last scene. Trust me!

  1. Nice post. Thanks for giving me the heads up about not leaving the theater early. This is your favorite Michigander that lives in Alabama.
