[FILM] Iron Man 2
Thursday, May 6th, 2010 08:53 pmA pleasant afternoon at Cineworld (hey, free ticketses thanx Tesco), followed by cocktails, with
la_marquise_de_*.
Good things about Iron Man 2:
- Robert Downey Jrplaying another humble, retiring, diffident type doing his utmost to make Tony Stark a three-dimensional character
- MICKEY ROURKE FTW. (What is it about Rourke and pets? I shall never forget the small canine in Once Upon a Time in Mexico.)
- excellent soundtrack inc. 'Should I Stay or Should I Go'
- improbable Genius Home Projects
- some nice one-liners
- MICKEY ROURKE did I mention?
- Prince of Persia trailer, which lured us both
- Robert Downey Jr's dressing-gown
- having Bad Guys For Killing who were machines
Less-good things about Iron Man 2, which I mostly ignored:
- Scarlet Johannsen's action scenes (tho' the first one wasn't bad)
- attempts to weave in Avengers-related plot threads
- the 'plot'
*apart from the spluttering, ectoplasm and scary 360-degree skull rotation during the trailer for Robin Hood. I think it distressed her.
