Yummy and I went to see Iron Man 2 Friday night.
Because I'm a crotchety old man I'm gonna start by bitching about it. There were a a large number of scenes that were filmed just for the trailer. Iron Man does jump out the back of a cargo jet to get to a convention, but he isn't up there flirting with Pepper Potts before he jumps.
The scene where he's firing a laser around his lab is there, but for the trailer they sewed a few scenes together to make it seem like something else is happening.
And the primary villain's motivation seems lacking. Whiplash is getting revenge on Tony for something that happened 40 years ago between Whiplash's father and Tony's father. It may have made more sense when the Soviets were still our enemies.
But other than that it's an awesome movie. The banter is great, we see signs of Stark's alcohol problem, he reconnects a bit with his dead father, War Machine sees action, Nick Fury has some prolonged experiences, Stan Lee is called Larry King, and a lot more.
You do want to see this movie. You DO want to sit through the credits.
I will be getting this on DVD. There's no question about that.
