Newman: Hey, you've gotta admit, if there's one thing he knows how to do, it's make things go BOOOOOOM.

So it's exactly the same as Transformers 2?

No. Transformers was a bad movie, Transformers 2 was a terrible movie as it took all of T1's annoying tics and amped them up to 11.

Though they were both fun.

Iron Man 2 = Iron Man

Iron Man 2 != Transformers 2

QED!

I liked it. There were some silly bits, the most glaring when Tony "designed a new element" and then made it in something that was supposed to be a homemade accelerator, but was actually a laser or whatever, I dunno. That was silly. Other than that it was solid, for a superhero sequel.

That I'll have to admit. My physics class is still in the process of convincing our teacher to let us see Iron Man 2 again as a class excursion since it features the formation of a new element and several other bits of wonky science.

I thought it was good. I haven't been to a movie theater in a year though.

Bah, what's the point of seeing a movie if it isn't in the cinema?!

I enjoyed it a lot.
and eyes on the road.

It was a great summer blockbuster.  It had everything you would want from such a movie (being realistic here).  There was action, humour, awesome cars, beautiful women and wonderful explosions.  The fact that the characters are so fun and have such great banter and sense of timing makes it all the more enjoyable.  It's not movie making history or worthy of some sort of big award but it was a damn fun movie.  Really really good to go and see when you've had a tough few weeks especially.

Yep, agreed.

And hey, at least it avoided Michael Bay and his "LET'S MAKE EVERYTHING EXTREME! HUUUGH!" that is Transformers 2 *shudder*

TF1 - was a bad movie. TF2 - a terrible one.

They were both basically visual effects porn. Iron Man 1 and 2 are simply solid comic book hero movies, not ground breaking or awesome, but solid pieces of entertainment that are an enjoyable and brief escape from reality.

Also, I think if you took out every shot of stock military footage/military visual effect in TF2, the movie would be able an hour shorter.

Beginning was kinda slow...would've been bored if it wasn't for the trailer I saw before the movie and knew about the coming fighting.  Other than that, good movie.
