I finished Iron Man II and wondered wtf I just watched. It wasn't fun like the first, and I couldn't track on a single narrative. I could not tell you what the story was. I didn't connect to anyone.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.
I liked Star Trek, but I don't really like Star Trek. It felt more like Star Wars, which I like more. So.
Iron Man II was fine, but not nearly as good as the first, according to both me and general consensus.
My favorite high school movie is undoubtedly Clueless though it has competition from Can't Hardly Wait and Bring It On and Breakfast Club. I don't know if I count Say Anything, which feels less focused on high school itself.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Flying High, for my high school movie. My brothers and I watched that a ridiculous number of times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Iron Man I was much better than II, but II was still fun--much better than XMen III or Wolverine Origins or Daredevil or Electra. And at least one of their Hulks, if not two. And Spidey III for sure.
I'm currently rating Marvel movies at:
- Iron Man I
- X Man I
- X Man: First Class
- X Man: II
- Thor
- Iron Man II
- a whole bunch of crap including all the Spidey movies
unless I'm reminded of some stuff

Because books.
We're probably going to watch Iron Man II anyway, since we have it here. I'm not sure why I'm not jazzed. I liked the first one a lot.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Even though I LOVE romance and romantic comedies, my favorite is still Breakfast Club. I saw it in 7th grade, and have never before or sense so identified with a male character (Brian).
It is also the movie I stop on every time t has ever been on TV, even with the REALLY BAD dubbed things over the "swearing".
The one thing I hate about it is Andie's outfit-- I think it is hideous. I thought it was hideous when I first saw it, and I continue to do so.

Wha?! X-Men 2 is way better than the first one. And Spider-Man 2 is the best Marvel movie, better than Iron Man.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My Drop Everything movies are those of my youth so the first three Star Wars and Indiana Jones (although I could walk away from Temple of Doom at a commercial) but also Jaws even though I came to it later. Also almost anything with witches and wizards.

I'd put Blade under Thor, and the Spider Man movies are deliberately neglected. None of them will ever get a second watching from me.
X2 is not better than XM: FC.
