Iron Man 2

Light Spoiler Warning!

Film work: 9/10
Generally good film work, but I do get wonder how much of what I'm seeing is actually there and how much is created in a computer. Personally I'm all for real sets and puppets. Theres something about real objects that make them interact with lighting and film much better. Also, it's easy to see a CG Iron Man in front of a real environment vs a CG one. Honestly though, what would a movie about a super armor be if it wasn't very computer based.

Animation: 10/10
How I rate animation, if I feel my mom can do it, it's crap. If I feel I can do it, then it's good, but if I can't understand even in the my wildest dreams how it's possible, then you are a god to me! I mean the freaken suitcase armor transformation blew me away. I remember wanting to rewind and pause just to pretend I could understand how thats possible. And the big fights, none of that transformers cut to close ups and make everything fuzzy crap, you can see the details and you leave knowing exactly how it all went down.
Oh, and the computer! I want Tony Starks basement. He can keep the cars, the armor,and even the mini fridge, give me the J.A.R.V.I.S. and the 3D computer and I'm set for life!

Acting: 9/10
I give it a 9 only cause it's hard to be perfect, but come on, I mentioned the computer, that some how Robert Downey Jr. was able to act like he was using when it wasn't even there. You try doing that. Don Cheadle make Rhodey more fun. Gwyneth Paltrow is still awesome as Pepper, and her role had to evolve greatly for this one. Scarlett Johansson did some kick ass moves and made me think for just a second "black widows awesome" and I am not a black widow fan. Samuel L. Jackson, I'm sorry I doubted you. You did good and kept the character light during serious moments, which I feel is a theme to this movie. Mickey Rourke, again, I hate whiplash and you made me ok with him...just ok...still a stupid villian.
Jon Favreau, stop putting yourself in your movies! You are not Happy Hogan, you were funny but you didn't fit the character at all, please stop it.

Writing: 9/10
Almost perfect, if not for one or two crap one liners it would have been a 10. I mean when you have such good jokes suddenly the bad ones pop out. But really, even when the movie gets completely serious Tony Stark keeps making jokes, and thats the Tony I love! Only time he gets serious is when he's about to die or no one's around. Writers, my hates off to you.

Action: 10/10
The final Fight it like 15 minutes long and is drop dead gorgeous, just that makes me happy. Lets add on a amazing fight between Mark II and Mark IV! Only fight that was kinda lame was the first whiplash fight, but thats only cause it took to long to really become a fight. Honestly, hard to say a bad thing about this good old fashioned Iron Man beat downs.

Accuracy: 9/10
Alright Sam, sorry I have to do this but you felt more like a parody of Nick Fury more then you did Nick Fury, but I kinda blame the writers for that and it fit the movie very well.
Pepper and Tony actually hooking up...still really hasn't happened in the comics cause of the whole Happy Hogan thing so that was a bit off, but it fits the movie world well.
Lets face it, they were able to squish Demon in a Bottle, Armor Wars, War Machines Origin, and some other random things like Tony's not so great father into one movie and make it flow damn well. May not be perfect, but I aint gonna complain...well besides about the things I say in this review....

All and All: 9.5/10
I went there with the highest over hyping I've ever done and did not leave disapointed, so thats good enough for me. I mean I almost went out and bought some Iron Man comics after I saw the movie...but then I remembered I'm gonna see it again in IMAX next week so I didn't waste the money! Oh, and I've already seen it twice! So to sum up, I loved it so much I'm gonna see it three times!
