Congrats, Ceetar, you are now officially my own personal Rex Reed... a perfect reverse barometer for movies, sports, everything. You are my true north, and i can always gauge how straight my course is by how diametrically it opposes yours. Thank you. A guiding star is a valuable thing to have in one's life.

well i went in assuming It wasn't very good because you seemed to think it was awesome.

Holy hell, fella-- you preferred Iron Man 2? (If so, I'm pretty sure its makers and makers' mothers disagree with you.)

Iron Man two had Black Widow, the 1964 Worlds Fair Grounds, and Robert Downey Jr's sarcasm.

World's Fair and Scarlett Johansson notwithstanding, Iron Man 2 might just be in the 5-10th percentile of movies featuring a sarcastic Robert Downey.

It's, like, 80 minutes of really expensive expository for ANOTHER movie, with, like, one REALLY good action sequence and about 20-30 percent of the funny of the original.

yeah.

and that's still better than Captain America.

Iron Man 2: I know who he's fighting, why the bad guy is angry, what's the source of his power. When he made a decision in the course of battle, I knew why. Made it more coherent than most of the rest of these.

The scope of a lot of these just gobbles coherence up.
