Ironman 2


Ironman 2. The one that Marvel let get away. It could have been great. It could have followed up Ironman and set the tone for comic book movies for a few years to come but it didn't. The effects were pretty cool. The bad guy was ok. Mickey Rourke, as Whiplash, could have been right up there with Heath Ledger as one of the great villians of all time but it just never jelled. His Russian character could have been great but he was hard to understand at times and you just never feel like you got to "know" him.

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow was hot. She definitely needs more screen time.

Overall, I felt a little disapointed. Marvel looked like Shane Mosely trying to counter punch DC's The Dark Knight's Floyd Mayweather in this one.

I give it 3 Floyds only because it was one of my favorite Comics ever.
