Two Irons in the Fire.

Sat in on a midnight screening of Iron Man 2 last night and I have some mixed feelings on it. Don't get me wrong, it was a good show, but I had a couple of "iffy" feelings about it, so I'll go down the list. The Good: Robert Downy Junior, but it kind of seemed like the cool factor he had going in 1 was knocked down a peg here and I can't put my finger on just why that is. Sam Jackson with a larger part and the eye patch, need I say more? Scarlett Johansson...nice. And the Favreau boxing bit was classic. The Bad: Too many AC/CD songs, they could have used much better music than that. Sam Rockwell (who I like as an actor) didn't pull off bad or greedy to me and just seemed to be in the way. The Ugly: Micky Rourke, the dude bugs, which I guess is good for the villain, but I kind of wanted to puke a little bit whenever he was on screen. The verdict, I liked it, but only just. Maybe my expectations were too high and it will take another viewing to really warm up to it.
