Iron Man 2

Cassie and I saw the first blockbuster film of the Summer season. Here's my short review:

Anger, narcissism, fear, romance, a few chuckles, and a suitload of action.

Here's a little more:
  • There are inevitable comparisons to the first one. Here's mine: It's louder, angrier, scarier, funnier, more action-packed, and maybe just a tiny bit better than the first one.
  • Great comic-book characters brought to life by some marvelous actors. A few of my favorites in this film: Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, and Garry Shandling.
  • Best line: (Something close to this) "It was your fault. I'm just saying that I'm sorry."
  • Credit I noticed with a bit of confusion: Inflatable Crowd Supervisor. Apparently these are getting more common nowadays in films.
  • Stay for the end to find the second of two Avengers Movie non-person-pre-cameos.
Great film - great soundtrack too. I think I have to see it again.
