Be careful of the sound, Pete is so loud.

Iron Man 2

I went to the midnight showing of Iron Man 2 last night. My movie buddy couldn't go with me, so instead of calling a bunch of people I posted my patheticness for the world to see on Twitter and Facebook. No takers. So I went to the movie by myself. It certainly wasn't the first time, but I was severely outnumbered. Enough nonsense - on to the movie review.

Robert Downey Jr. was born to play the role of Tony Stark. Not only does he have the arrogance and charisma down, but he also seems to connect with the personal demons side that Tony runs into (ok, that all super heros run into during the sequel). I have never been a Gwenyth Paltrow fan. She is *highly* overrated. However, I adore her as Pepper Potts, in both movies. They gave her a much bigger role in this movie and I liked that. I never have been and never will be a fan of Scarlett Johanson and that has not changed. Luckily, she wasn't in it much, though as usual she was either skimpily dressed or dressed in super tight clothes (a clause in ALL of her contracts I'm sure). And once again she keeps the exact same facial expression through every scene she does. Ugh. I personally love Terrence Howard at Rhodey, but Don Cheadle was good.

The story was full of holes or awkwardness, but overall the movie was entertaining as hell. Lots of explosions and cool equipment and of course all the one-liners.

Go see it. Spend the money to see it on the big screen. See it now in fact.
