Okay. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times. "I was blown away by Iron man." Of course I'm referring to the first movie. As a lifelong Shellhead fan I was absolutely salivating for a decent movie adaptation of my favorite superhero. I would have been thrilled to get something on par with Daredevil, The Punisher, either of the Fantastic Four films or even...ugh...Elektra. However instead of a lame, halfhearted, misguided effort what we got was more than I could have hoped for. But I digress. This isn't the "Iron man: How good will it be?" thread.
Iron man 2, by all accounts, is supposed to be the movie every superhero film franchise wants to make in the first place. The origin is established, the character and environments have been fleshed out and all the lengthy exposition has been presented. Now it's finally time to really turn everyone's talent and creativity loose and knock one out of the park. That is the movie I want to see and the more I view the trailers, posters and photos, the more interviews I read and the more comments I hear from folks who have seen more of the actual film than anyone has a right to see the more I'm thinking this could be it.
I'll admit the first trailer gave me pause. There was something troubling, disturbing about what I saw that made me feel uneasy. That this second film could be a step backward. Perhaps it was a lack of context in the images I saw. I can't say for sure. However I've obviously changed my mind about that and I can't wait until May 7th. ;D
