I...mostly liked
Iron Man 2.
I just don't get Scarlett Johannson, and don't get a single bit of competency whiff off of her. I thought she completely lacked credibility, especially when she was trying to
act
badass.
Just a big zero.
Also have difficulty with Mickey Rourke. As a nutbar badguy, great. But he fails for me where he fails for Steph.
Took Don Cheadle a bit to warm up, I thought, but by the end I totally preferred him to Terrence Howard. Great pair. And I have a bit of a weakness (okay, a lot) for scenes where
the good guys try and beat the shit out of each other,
so that was more than pleasant.
Thought it suffered from pacing issues--the middle section lacked enough action for me.
And I did
not
want Pepper to
get together with Tony.
Not sure why I was so adamant about that, but I found the end disappointing.
Sam Rockwell was great too--he had a lot of lines that amused me. But the movie didn't make me laugh out loud as much as the first one. And I didn't get glee-face off it as much as I'd hoped.
Still glad I went out for it, though.
Amych, your squee is my squee when it comes to John Slattery. He's just so YAY.
Oh dear, they
got rid of Terrence "Huggies" Howard only to add Golden Showers Guy from Sex and the City
?
Notes in Teppy's file:
Actually, amend the note to No Cable in Teppy's House And Too Lazy To Netflix.
Sam Rockwell was great too--he had a lot of lines that amused me.
Oh, yeah.
Consuela and I saw the Losers this afternoon. It was very fun, and lots of things went BOOM, and JDM and Idris Elba are very pretty, but I think Leverage spoiled me--I kept expecting
Roque's betrayal to be part of the caper plan, instead of actually being bad.
Perkins, I was hoping and expecting that too.
I had more laughs from
The Losers
than
Iron Man 2,
and I think the action pacing (though not actual action scenes) was better.
Also, I was bitching about Zoe Saldana, but I'll take her over ScarJo for my team, thanks.
Oh me too!
I really enjoyed things go boom.
Always and forever love RDJ. I agree with the feeling that Scarlett was
superfluous. After her long hallway fight, I whispered to my DH, "Hit Girl could kick her ass."
Loved the
energy whip things. Cutting a car in half--AWESOME.
I enjoyed the movie, but did not fall in totally in love.
Sorry, I loved the Scarlett. As did, err. The entire van full of guys who went to the movie with me.
But their appreciation, like mine, was probably utterly shallow. *cough*
