This movie is just plain MARVEL-less. I do not get the higher reviews. Big surprise.
First 1/2 hr wasn't too bad. But there was too much going on with different parties, all stuffed in.
It's all on the writers.
And finally, I like Garry Shandling, but when I saw him in his role, all I could think of was, "what planet are you from?"
I had high hopes for this movie and didn't read any reviews going into it. I'm sorry to say, I was just waiting for it to be over. Iron Man 1 was a far, FAR superior film. #2 is not even close.
Thx

- In IM1, Tony was slick, elegant, suave, cool & sophisticated. I understand he's got a large medical problem in this offering, but he just seems annoying. His narcissism doesn't work in this fare, and he seems to be going to the motions in certain parts.
It's all on the writers.
- Gwyneth: Still adorable here, but the writers relegated her to the role of "nag". I have no problem with a woman nagging me, provided she's the one I sleep with. This was the love affair the audience was waiting to see flourish. Just aggravating. Ok, he's lays a minor sloppy one on her toward the end, then declares "Weird!" She says "No it's not". Give me a break! In real life, he'd drink her bathwater!
- Woke Chump Cheadle is horrible.
- Scarlett does well here I think. She tough as nails as the BW (I guess), and looks beautiful.
- Love Mickey. His character though seemed to be
- Speaking of Sam, he's got the greatest smile ever. He just shouldn't be cast as a bad guy ever. Even in the Green Mile, as a rapist & murderer, he managed to come off as both funny & likable. And that's not to impugn him. He's just one of those people.
- Sam Jackson? What can I say, I like Samuel Jackson, in everything he does, including this movie.
