Iron Man can't quit War Machine! Iron Man 2 poster revealed!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Hooray for Iron Man, promising to save Summer 2010 from the big budget event film doldrums of this past summer.
Yahoo Movies has the exclusive first look at the Iron Man 2 Teaser Poster featuring War Machine looking all badass and stuff. Click the image to visit Yahoo's site.
What do you folks think? Can't wait to see the teaser trailer, which is rumored to hit sometime in December... I wonder what big Paramount movie comes out in December that just might have this trailer on it... hrmm....

Harry here... Seriously? From this poster you think WarMachine is the major villain? Really? Because - I thought the trailer that showed Mickey Rourke with badass lightning whips... and a name that corresponds with Crimson Dynamo... was clue enough as to the villain work ahead of all of us? A poster with the two heroes back to back - and at comic con - there is a scene, I think that had them fighting that way. But I may have remembered that wrong.

Not bad. Not great either.
-
I can't wait for the teaser!
-
War Machine wasn't going to be in it...
-
The poster looks great! Can't wait for the summer...
-
Terrence Howard drinks a beer and cheets on his wife.
-
And it does its job. Now let's get to complaining that it's not artistic enough. Or that Scarlett's body is not featured.
-
Double ended iron dildo in both their asses.
GHAAAAAY! -
...bad move.
-
According to the poster this film's called '2'.
GHAAAAAY!!!! -
dancing cheek to cheek. Pretty cool.
-
I think this film stars Mr CGI and his buddy CG-guy.
GHAAAAAAY!!!! -
It's a good time to be RDJ!
-
Actually im just messing around, I rather liked the first IRON MAN but that doesn't stop this poster being...
GHAAAAAAAY!!! -
Robert Downey Jr. I went to see the other one because of him and how Favreau depicted his personality as Stark. I was actually bored at the Iron Man scenes. Tony Stark chewed every scene he was in.
Burgers first...then conference. -
You can tell War Machine is evil, since his eyes glow red, of course.
-
not that there's anything wrong with that!:)

Um, I think you may want to rephrase your last post.

I guarantee you 2 fat kids are chest bumping over this poster
by natecore
I've yet to witness this phenomenon.
-
give the impression that Stark has at least two "Mark III" (maybe "Mark IV"?) armors. Good idea in case somebody kicks your ass halfway across LA, like in the first picture.
-
WTF?? Tony might be a shitball back-stabbing, murdering, cock-sucking, midget fucking, toilet water drinking pus bag. But he's not openly gay.
-
I predict epic reacharound.
-
And does NOT deserve to be in a movie.

I'd rather see a good villain than the playing up of war machine
by industrykiller!
To me a well done villain/hero relationship is always the most interesting dynamic in a superhero film, Dark Knight proved that, and the lack thereof in the first Iron Man was clearly the biggest flaw of the film. If they spend 3 quarters of the movie pitting Rhodes and Stark against one another thats going to get thematically uninteresting and predictable in a fuckin hurry. I mean Im sure they'll have the requisite fight but beyond that I hope they get on the same team quickly.
-
hmmmm
-
It's been an absolute boon for good movies this year (with the exception of TF2 of course).
-
That electric guitar / symphony crap was horrible. I get the heavy metal motif in all respects, but the soundtrack to that movie is awful.
-
Isn't this nearly identical?
-
War Machine, Whiplash and Black Widow. I thought Hollywood learned their lesson about shoving too many new characters into superhero sequels back in the 90's Batman movies. With three origin stories being told, what's the over/under for Downey screen time in this? 15 minutes?
-
is based on the classic 'Demon in a bottle' arc,where Tony becomes alcoholic,he loses his company,becomes a tramp etc.is this true? i thought that Faveur said that IM2 is not going to take a darker route (like TDK),and remain a light,family-friendly entertaining movie.so whats the deal? is the script an original story or its based on the Demon story?
-
John Debney is doing the score for 2. He has made some tremendous soundtracks, including Cutthroat Island (Horrible movie but one of the best soundtracks ever made I believe.)
-
the same could be said for any of iron man's supporting cast or villains. hell, even iron man himself was just a faint blip on the zeitgeist that exists beyond the realm of geekdom. before the movie came out, if you brought up iron man, people were just as likely to think you were talking about the black sabbath song.
-
How come all we see are rehashes of scoops from other places? I get more original content from Rotten Tomatoes now, for cripes sake! Maybe these guys are too busy jetting around kissing movie star tails than doing some digging.
-
i find cutthroat island infinitely better than any of the POTC films. i have yet to hear, in fact, why it gets so much flack. & yes debney does some solid work.
-
That poster makes me happy in my pants... No that isn't the peanut butter I put down there either for the dog to find.. So much awesomeness is to be found in IM2 no doubt!
I know I will at least be entertained with seeing the previews for Sherlock Holmes where IM2's first actual trailer/teaser will be released. -

I want to kiss this poster on the mouth
by danielplainviewonvacationinboston
But I would kill to have a poster of Black Widow Scarlett on my wall. KILL. Preferably the shot of her crawling. Right towards me. *passesout*
-
Anyone who defends those films even on the level of being "fun" should be shot where they stand.
-
there have been a lot of teaser posters lately with just a number on it. I mean, clearly you can tell this poster is for Iron Man 2, but if you saw the giant "3" poster for Toy Story 3 in a movie theater, how the fuck would you know what it's for? Minor annoyance I guess. Not a bad poster overall.
-
Iron Man and War Machine.
Back to back. Shoulder to shoulder. Cheek to cheek.
GHHAAAAAYYYY!!! -
Please don't call the film Iron Man 2. You guys can do better.

They did indeed, Stereotypical Evil Archer
by danielplainviewonvacationinboston
It mainly focused on the infamous Iron Man's lonely life of solitude after killing every thing on the fucking planet in his rage.
-
Is Iron Man actually made out of iron? Cos iron's pretty damn heavy and far less hardy than other metals. Not very practical choice for a suit at all.
Surely Titanium Alloy Man would fare better. Just saying...
ps. Ghay. -
war machine was going to fight iron man and not team-up with him.it seems that they have changed completely WM's origin.hmm.
-
Last summer was the worst Summer for genre films I can remember. "Transformers 2," "Terminator: Salvation," G.I. Joe," etc. It was a load of crap too much for any brain to endure with very few bright spots. Thank God for "Star Trek" and the barely seen "Drag Me to Hell." I barely survived this Summer as a film geek.
-
Look's awesome!!! I"M GUESSING THAT THIS IRONMAN 2 MOVIE HAS SOME SURPRISES UNDER ITS SLEEVES!!!!!!!!! KICK ASSS!!!!!! :D

I do not see nipples, but this has B & R written all over
by jimbojones123
Please do not let this be a buddy team up. Roady stealing the armor for the military to take on costumed vigilante Iron Man is a much better idea.
-
somehow it reminds Robocop,he looks more robotic,that someone who wears a suite.
He looks more like an over-sized war machine toy.check his legs and his hards,they are not curved like IM's,they are too flat and his shoulder is a bit too bulk,doesnt fit well with the flat hand.
anyway thats just nitpicks,i am sure in the movie,WM will rawk. -
How does one wear a "suite"?
-
the Baroness on the cover of the G.I. Joe disc. Or ScarJo and Gwyneth Paltrow dyking out. Who cares if it doesn't happen. I'm just trying to sell tickets here people.

Conclusive proof that War Machine is the sexiest tomboy beanpole
by scudd
-
... although this poster doesn't really show us anything special. "Iron Man" was successful primarily as a character study; without Robert Downey, Jr's depiction of Tony Stark the film would have simply been another lackluster action movie. I'd rather have a poster that showed more character than just another costume shot of Iron Man and a little tease of War Machine.
-
That is all.
-
People need to get their facts straight, the villain in this piece is Whiplash.
-
but WM makes IM look kinda lame.
-
Your post makes this thread look lame...
-
jesus
-
been complete,if they had also put Rourke in there,with his suit and holding his whips.hmmm.
-
This poster looks pretty effin badass. The Comic Con clips look great too. I'm pretty excited to see this flick.
-
I FUCKING LOVE WAR MACHINE!!! AWESOME!!!!
-
... when the movie was called Spider-Man 3. Well no, I actually didn't, but you know what I mean
-
The LAST THING we need is another movie with two guys in CGI Iron Man costumes punching each other over and over again. The third act of the last one was kinda boring.
-

the spiderman 3 posters were badass...
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
the movie? not so much.
-
Jon Favreau fucking sucks as director/producer/writer/actor.
-
Nov 30, 2009 7:38:11 PM CST
oh dear god this better not be like spider man 3 where harry
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
and spiderman fought the whole movie, while crying, and then had the most forced team up in the history of cinema in the last awful ten minutes
-
thats for granted,since Favreu hire that guy who created Samurai Jack etc,to storyboard the action scenes.at least Favreu understands his limits,puts away his ego and makes wise decisions for the greater good of the film.that honors him as a pro director.
-
Flames on Iron Man x Dances with Ferngully / suit nipples = summer doldrums do not exist in this dojo (and I have no idea what I just wrote...)
-
Just saying. Anyways.. this HAS to be better then TF2, T4, GI-Joe... etc
-
He makes himself an actor in The Wrestler. Then sells his soul for a pay cheque in this shit.
-
with the harry-king kong on top of the skyscraper with the number 1 on it.wtf does it mean? that in 2009,now that the year is on its end,AICN became yet again the no1 movie news site,as visiting numbers go,OR that Harry's diet is working well,and at the end of this year he managed to lose one more kilo of fat?
-
For me it has more replayability, I like Lexi Alexander more than iron man's director also. Anyone ever hear her commentary during PWZ? Pretty entertaining shtuff.
-
My teeth clench imagining the metal-on-metal rubbing that will take place next summer. Use liberal amounts of goop, gents!
-
Index finger and pinky finger out, not just an index symbolizing #1. Or maybe you were just fuqin' around. Hope you enjoyed November!
-
May SOMETIMES be an antagonist, but he was never a villain. He is usually an ally though, at least in the books. And whenever Tony's too drunk to stand up, Jim Rhodes stands in as Iron Man, even fooling the other Avengers sometimes. The main problem between tony and War Machine, is that War Machine represents the military applications of the Iron Man armor. This can put them at odds, but working for the government doesn't usually make one a villain. Usually.
-
It's because it needs two gay men as machines because obviously from the picture of rourke as whiplash, he's 2 x as gay as any other marvel character.....with the exception of that asian guy from x3. You know you're gay if your power needs to have you hugging someone to kill them. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH ANY RAINBOW-REACHING SUPERHEROES.
-
And you call yourselves nerds. This is Basic Marvel 101 here. Mockingbuddha's got his shit straight. I honestly thought people who could notice all the minute changes George Lucas made to one single split second in the background of Return of the Jedi would know that Jim Rhodes is about as much of a villain as Nick Fury or Thor. That is, potential for antagonism, but never for EEEEEEEVIL reasons. They're the good guys, people. Hell, in a recent arc, Rhodey was sent after Tony to bring him in to the government and while "battling", the two totally found a way to avoid having to do that at all. Doesn't sound like a vaillain to me.
-
...Bishop is a bad guy, because he enjoys killing children. I will maintain this until the day I die, and because it pisses off people who think he's awesome now.

by flickapoo
...diameter copper pipe adapter you guys think?
-
is cause he's a hero. He's Iron Man's back up. I've seen upteen posts commenting on this poster as if War Machine was the heavy. The heavy is Mickey Rourke. And if people think Iron Man, War Machine, and Black Widow are too many characters running around then don't bother seeing Avengers in 2012...that is if the world don't end first! Zing! That was a terrible movie.
-
Wooooo!
-
Honestly, it's a Top 3 of 09 for me. I have it on my PMP and watch it daily on the subway. It's that good!!!
-
From one'a WM's extensions. They def better change the angle of that pic.
-
don't tase me bro
-
...G.I. JOE is one of the only movies in recent memory to put me in a bad mood and make me angry at the loss of life (mine, two hours) and the dollar spent at Redbox. And I wasn't expecting much. Hell, we couldn't get it back the next day...we spent two dollars on that piece of excrement. The guy who played Duke was so bad as to seem mildly retarded.And again, I was expecting very little.
-
Channing Tatum was the only weak spot for me. Call me crazy, but I really dig this movie. Especially sexy Sienna. It's just a ton of fun and I haven't tired of the action sequences. Usually I can watch a good movie 2, 3 times. But this one I can watch every day. Weird.
-
Stan Lee plays the war monger.
-
Isn't it about time;
great film, check
based on a geek property, check
critical praise and mainstream popularity, check
Star Trek and Dark Knight, seem to have got their share of geek rage, am expecting Iron Man to follow at some point. -
...maybe we're even. I thought Scarlett was the highlight of G. I. JOE...she jiggled all over in that tank top.
-
Maybe in one scene. But the rest she was in armor.
-
The way I describe it is Street Fighter: The Movie if it totally failed on the aspect of camp fun. I honestly think it's up there with Pearl Harbor as one of the worst bad bad films of all time. Like not even watchable ironically. Channing Tatum gives, and again Im not exaggerating here, a PORN bad performance. Literally acting on the level of late night cinemax. He's fucking atrocious. And they took a franchise that set up the dominoes over 25 years for them to have the EXACT right amount of camp fun and they change all of it to make it slow, boring, and predictable. Why would you change brilliantly over hte top characters to be blandly over the top? It doesn't make a lick of fucking sense. Cobra COmmander, instead of being a brilliantly realized flamboyant megalomaniac in the best Bondian sense of the word (in fact CC is a better character than ANY Bond villain, yeah I fucking went there), into an annoying dweeb. Instead of seeing a crack squad of awesomely costumed commandoes and ninjas using their individually awesome skill set to dispatch awesomely costumed villains with THEIR own awesome skill set, you get a bunch of actors who dont look like they are having ANY fun to dress blandly, have no particular skill as soldiers, and run mindlessly through horribly directed sub Michael bay set pieces. And most agregiously it has no heart whatsoever, no one is putting any effort into it from the director on down. It's literally a worse adaptation of 80's source material than the Lundgren Master of the Universe film.

Flick mildly retarded is a great Channing Tatum descriptor
by industrykiller!
The guy can barely speak the mother tongue. He was garbling lines so abdly, and with so little effort, I honestly didn't know what the fuck he was saying sometimes. And he's supposed to be a bad ass commando leader. I wouldn't follow that guy into any battle if he was my commanding officer.
-
...she was jiggling in a tank top. Grey a believe...when they first introduce the character...all the leads are in some sort of super helicopter or something. I mostly remember the jiggling.
-
Yeah, why didn't they pull Casper Van Dien out of Direct To Video Land to be Duke. He's actually getting to be a so-so actor. At least he was in Starship Troopers 3: Marauders!
-
Nov 30, 2009 9:32:13 PM CST
...I never realized it before, but the phrase "mother tongue"...

Can't wait for Rourke to tear it up!!!! Film reviews at Sick Picks at http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/
-
take a cult classic that people hold dear to their hearts, then compare or parallel it to a highly anticipated yet to be released blockbuster, then call both films shit. Mix liberally with AICN, watch online outrage:) Not that I have a problem with it. It has just become obvious and predictable.
-
Has a bad guy, unlike the first one.
-
Um, what the fuck?
-
That is all.
-
...he he gets to live another day.
-
Isn't this nearly identical?
GHAAAAAY!
TOO SOON!!! -
He's a lame product of the 90's when big guns, bandoleros and ultraviolence was the order of the day. I'd rather see Hawkeye, the Vision, or Yellowjacket up on the big screen. Keep it old school.
-
I actually read something funny out of lockes asshole, in the subject line. Luckily for me the planets hadn't aligned and he quickly ruined it with something retarded in the comment section.
-
It's so not. Do you know how hard it is to have butt-sex with a man in an iron armor suit? Believe it don't work.

-
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
lol. -
some talkbacker will ask "Why are the suits so dirty ? What a lame attempt to make them more 'edgy'." Shheeesh.
-
Or am I missing something here? Because Paramount's December slate is pretty "meh" altogeather.
-
It's their damn destiny to win it all this year.
-
You're getting your wish. Hawkeye will be in both Thor and The Avengers, and Jeremy Renner is being courted for the part. Word is both Hank Pym and Scott Lang will be in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man film, if that ever happens. I'm hoping for an Eric O'Grady cameo. No news on Vision, but I'd bet they'd save him for after the potential introduction of Ultron.
-
I heard it'll be in front of Sherlock Holmes. Just a rumor, though.

Summer geek movies which did you dislike the least?
by miyamoto_musashi
Out of Terminator Salvation, Transformers 2, gi-Joe and Wolverine ?
I still don't have a strong opinion either way, but feel that Gi-Joe turned out as expected a movie aimed at the mentality of 12 year old boys, nothing more, nothing less.
Terminator Salvation - you could see McG had a decent vision and a good idea but lacked the execution.
Wolverine, Hugh and Liev were actually pretty ok, but it seemed a mess of a film in regards to story and their use of other characters.
Transformers 2, probably the biggest disappointment of the four for me, had a few great scenes , such as the fight in the forest, but there was a lot of stuff that could have been edited out and made it as a result a much better ride, yes "the twins" is top of the list for something that was more than just unnecessary but actually horrible. -
Thanks for the completely pointless post, however :)
And the poster looks like complete and utter shite btw. -
SORRY PATS FANS!!
-
Good.
-
What did you expect for the poster of a superhero movie sequel?
-
Well, what I saw of it. Didn't make it through the whole thing...
-
Not that I give a shit.
-
Not sure if they'll try to top that with a third poster for some symmetry. Who would it even be? Favreau/Rourke? Ouch.
-
... A Favreau/Rourke ass-to-ass would be ...faaabulooous!!!
-
That would be a nice poster.Flip63Hole - FUCK YOU, YA STUPID COCKSUCKER
-
Very film noir!
-
You know...that job application you could sendoff to Stark Enterprises? Did that ever go anywhere? I kind of like the viral marketing stuff...gives us nerds something to do while we're waiting on the movie to come out.
-
There was a real slow period there for a while...I don't think anyone cares about that "Up in the Air" crap...lol jk.
-
Isn't too soon to introduce War Machine to the franchise? Iron Man should be fleshed out more before we start seeing sidekicks.
-
How do you get your head that far up your ass when you're stuck sitting on it for the rest of your life, you fat cunt? You're on the internet. Look shit up.
-
This movie is going to be sick. And it's going to kick the shit out of TDK:)-
-
This is looking to be another weak year. Inception, Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3 are the three films I'm looking forward to seeing. No interest in yet another Robin Hood, even though Scott & Crowe have themselves being comparing it to Gladiator. Two monthes ago Te Expendibles was the must see film for me next year, but not anymore thanks to that awful looking trailer. I'm hoping jonah Hex is good, but I'm getting a horrible Constantine vibe from the production photos,not digging Jonah's look at all. The rest speak for themselves: A-Team, Cats & Dogs 2, Prince Of Persia, Shrek 4, Kung Fu kid, Twilight: Eclipse, Little Fockers. Then again, the fact that we're getting Iron Man 2 & Inception means it'll be slightly better than the cack we got offered to us as Summer entertainment this year.
-
Iron Man was kind of a surprisingly good movie. As of now, I'm not sure what to look forward to with Iron Man 2. Certainly nothing about this poster gets me excited about another Iron Man movie.
-
The Delta Six Accelerator suits ARE similar to War Machine's suit, except for the helmet.BTW the very entertaining commentary with Stephen Sommers makes the entire G.I. JOE DVD worthwhile IMHO.
-
it would have been good.

No one gives a shit about Avatard. It's being advertised everywhere: on television, on billboards, on posters, in newspapers, in toy stores, in my nightmares. Take your useless posting to somewhere no one will see it. Like your Twitter page.
-
Kudos to you, or whatever those hipster kids say these days while listening to their walkmans and checking their beepers while listening to Depeche Mode.
-
Awesome
-
as the one they used of Obediah and Tony for the 'Forbes' cover in the first movie.
-
next movie?
-
Might be good might be bad but we can all agree that Motoko Kusanagi enjoys being the bukake boy at the bath house.
-
in the comics,WM was a bad guy,since the armor was taken by a former comrade of Rhodes,who used the suit for the dirty jobs,he paid to do,by various villains.
And not only that,but he upgraded the armor so much,that he even kicked IMs butt.
in the teaser we see Rockwell who plays Hammer,one of the two villains of the movie,to supply a lot of weaponry for use in the WM armor.and that is fishy by itself. -
Paramount only has THE LOVELY BONES and IRON MAN this month, doesn't it?
Maybe they could show some love to Fox and put it before AVATAR?
Or how awesome would it be if this teaser came up before SHERLOCK HOLMES?! RDJ overload!!! -
US Military, impressed by Iron Man, want something of their own. Controlled by them and operated by one of their guys. Also something they could use to keep Iron Man in check if they needed to.
Though nowadays the US military marketing department definetely wouldn't go for War Machine, would have to be some acronym. -
Congratulations. You're a moron.
-
Too many plotlines. Too many characters.
-
...its very own Robin and Batgirl! There's no way on earth that War Machine and Black Widow are going to be superfluous to the plot at all.
-
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Up, Star Trek, Inglorious Barsterds, Public Enemies. That's not a bad tally. Of course, the other films were either vile or big disappointments (I really wanted Terminator and Wolverine to be good, but, er, they weren't.) Still, good going.
-
It's PINEAPPLE EXPRESS with iron suits and some dude with a whip. Hope they can squeeze Danny McBride in there somewhere...
-
And an ending that is not a big budget remake of "Robocop 2"? The poster does look good. But Don Cheadle being cast worries me. No one wants to see is scrawny ass in an action movie. If they wanted the African American demo to turn out in droves, they needed to cast someone like Coby Bell or Boris Kodjoe.
-
Uh, with the exception of Star Trek, what other good summer movies were there?
Wolverine- Fucking Terrible
Terminator Salvation- Fucking terrible
GI JOE- Fun, but ultimately rubbish -
The only movies I enjoyed were Fast and Furious (despite it's stupidity), Star Trek, and Up. Everything else was a let down. Wolverine was a mess. Transformers hated the audience with a passion, and GI Joe (while good for a Saturday afternoon on TBS) had appalling CGI effects. Next Summer can't come soon enough.
-
Everything is adding up nicely for this sequel. And how can you be gay in two walking tanks? Way better than a condom.
-
Sounds like the criticism of the first IM amounts to the fact that it wasn't formulaic enough. (Soundtrack, lack of nemesis villain plot-line...)
And that we imagine that the upcoming film is going to be too formulaic.These guys can't win. -
and just behind it is Star Trek IMO.
-
Pretty Good (Iron Man) + Don Cheadle = Great.
-
Harrys butt.in fact i believe D9 is even worse than ST as story is concerned,but at least ST was trying to be an entertaining movie,rather than an intellectual movie with message.
-
I honestly thought I was the only person on this site who was massively disappointed with D9. It was in no way the best movie of the summer. It was almost functionally retarded. Nothing that happened made any sense. I'll start with two things I guarantee you can't explain and are fucking insane in their logic. First...these aliens, I don't care if their leaders died and they are oppressed...they are interstellar travellers no matter what, they arent RETARDS. They come here and allow themselves to be enslaved, even though they CAN use their ridiculous weapons and we can't? And then, instead of even pointing them at us, not to mention firing one or two off to get us to leave them alone...they sell them...for cat food....what? Any of you out there actually bought that shit? They told you that made sense, and you listened. Fucking stupid. Second...the aliens spent the last twenty years looking for a few drops of the "magical black goo" because its fuel for their ship to get up to the mothership right? BUT, magically, its also a DNA-altering substance that allows a human to change on a genetic level without dying and turn into one of the aliens himself. Basically, their fuel does everything the director needs it to? Oh, thats brilliant! Oh wait, no, its not, its convenience. And then, they use the few drops they found to get back to the mothership...that gigantic fucking ship that has been hovering helplessly in the sky for two decades...and they just take off. Thank god it didnt need anymore of the magical black goo right? Are you telling none of them thought to maybe try and leave in their fully fueled ship? And that, over twenty years, human didn't RIP THAT SHIP THE FUCK APART to learn everything about it? It would be nonfunctional. I can't stand anything about it. Then the movie turns into Transformers 3 for the last 15. Combine that with overtly heavyhanded propaganda, and you've got yourself....one of the least interesting films I've seen this year. I was so angry watching this movie. It made zero sense.
And listen, I know I'm going to get torn apart, but anyone who has seen me on other TBs should know I'm no troll and I love and defend most anything that I find to be quality. I would never knock D9's amazing CG/Animation, and its blending of worls, and its creation of fairly well realized universe with awesome gadgets and stuff...but these things a good story does not make. My mind couldn't process anything that happened. The only good parts were the torture scene, and the ending, which was true science fiction beauty. I loved the very end, the last two minutes. But other than that...didn't anyone else see the insane retardation of this story? Go watch The Hurt Locker and try and tell me D9 was the best movie of the summer, or even the month of August. It just isn't. -
What an insult. Pardon me while I go cry like a little bitch.

I went in extremely excited. I didn't expect a masterpiece or anything, so its not my expectations destroyed it. The trailer was beyond brilliant, and I was excited and open-minded to be entertained. It just never happened. I'm not a troll or a hater, just saying how I honestly felt watching it. That's not to attack anyone who liked it..I said the movie was stupid, not you. It just didnt work for me on fundamental levels.

All I'm saying is that Joe, for what it is - a big dumb action movie - is fantastic. Could it be better? Yes, if Jeremy Renner played Duke we'd ALL be singing its praises. But for me, it was a pleasant surprise (but I was not a fan of the cartoon so my initial expectations were nil).
As for the year's movies I'm counting 500 Days and Hurt Locker as my Top 1 and 2, and easily two of my faves of all time. Everything else is just icing. -

District 9 lost a lot of points because it slowed to a crawl...

during the last half hour. Watching that little ship rise was like watching a movie download from piratebay.

D9 has a lot of things that simply dont make any kind of sense.and not only that,but the direction has also its problems.not even the social message that the movie tried to give,didnt work very well.anyway.
-
I had to choose between GI Joe and Public Enemies because I didn’t have enough time to see both. My heart said GI Joe but my brain said PE. I chose PE, but it was a bit of a let-down. Really not Mann’s best and unimaginative. So when I see GI Joe this Christmas, it better be entertaining!
-
I sure hope the second one builds off of the first one, now that the origin biz is out of the way.
-
Makes the most sense - similar audience, same star, etc. The only other one that really makes sense is attaching to Avatar. While I get they like to have "same studio" trailers, some of their choices make no damn sense vs mix up the studios & keep the "audience".

FPOS keeps turning up on these TBs like a bad penny...
Yeah, yeah, we know...you like explosions, shouting, lens flares and half-ass approximations of classic characters because it's FUN. Me, I find a coherent plot FUN, but that's like trying to explain the allure of Bach to a Miley Cyrus fan, and since I can't lose twenty years and fifty IQ points, I guess we're at an impasse, ain't we? -
over the summer. It was good, but nothing like people on here were making it out to be. RDJ is good as Stark, but the film was "meh" as a whole. I also rented "Hellboy 2" and man is that a crap film. Thank god I didn't see that in the theater.
-
War Machine is essentially the Mark II so that's not new either.What this poster needs is a new element to draw people in. The Dark Knights "Prepare for a world without rules" poster is a perfect example.

GREEN LANTERN SCRIPT HAS BEEN REWRITTEN INTO BEING COMPLETE SHIT
by catlettuce4
The Leaked script which has gotten glowing reviews and was well received by the fan-base has apparently been butchered - most of the sci-fi scenes have been removed, Oa's presence minimized, the Green Lantern Corps are no longer present in the Climax on Earth and Legion is gone.
That's right, instead of being a sci-fi adventure with giant monsters and the GL Corps working together in the climax were getting a generic superhero movie. -
Dont get me wrong I loved the first one. Reason being that even though it was very predictable, it was never boring. The last fight scene however sucked. Lets be honest. I thought Incredible Hulk was the better Marvel film. General Ross and Abomination were percfect and i liked how they displayed the super soldier serum. Iron Man 2 will be good. Rourke will be fine. Lets show some more of shield and a hint about outter space events in the movie. Nothing big. but maybe some files on the Kree or something. War Machine looks great. He wont be a villian. Favreau knows thats not what people want is another SPiderman 3. Im sure Stark and rodney will bicker a little but thats cuz their friends. Rourke and Maybe someone else will get involved and Im curious to see how they handle The Black Widow. It can go so many ways. Linking her with Captian America, SHIELD, Soviet SPy. Looking forward to this. Wish people would of went and seen HULK so that we could of had another. Damn shame. Was looking forward to seeing Leader as a villian.

It was one of the best movies a few years ago. If you want overrated, please go watch UP.

it's too soon in the series for War Machine, and I think
by famouseccles
its a big mistake not showing Stark as an alcoholic (as opposed a happy go lucky booze hound - seriously Hollywood thinks that is a better image to show kids !!) from the start. too late now. he is hardly likely to take to the bottle now that he has a purpose (could have showed us how even having a purpose could break the bottles hold on him). still though, stripping air hostesses - fantastic.

Rollofpennies - Iron Man was class, got the respect it deserved,
by famouseccles
but I agree that Incredible Hulk was the better movie. but the lack of success at the box office is squarely the fault of American audiences - can't get it through their thick skulls that it had nothing to do with that Ang Lee turd - hell, I know Americans who think Nolan's Batman movies are sequels to the Clooney/Kilmer movies - and those guys are fans of the Nolan movies
-
No plot. Terrible acting from the leads. Hulk looked silly. It was bad.
-
that Norton's Hulk.anyway.
-
you can see that in one of the deleted scenes.
-
Air hostess whores, supplying you with warm scented flannels to mop up with.
-
She destroyhed every single film she acted in. It's a pity she is in this movie.
-
didn't quit the movie. He was let go by the suits. His dismissal was a complete surprise to him.
-
and then Samuel L was going to be recast. I think Jon lost some of his mind.
-
can someone fill me in to when that meme started?
-
Me likey.

War Machine didn't appear until WAY WAY WAY later in the Iron Man comics.And to have Rhodey put on the armor WITHOUT using the Demon in a Bottle story-arc seems like a COMPLETE waste of material to me.
The poster, admittedly, looks badass.
But I have VERY low expectations for this flick.
I needs me some Demon in a Bottle. I needs it! -
If I remember correctly, that shite started with a review of the first Transformers film, where the reviewer described two fat kids chest-bumping at some point during the film.
-
As for this IM2 poster...I like War Machine, but Iron Man doesn't looks so cool in this pic...Maybe it's the lighting.
-
Cuz I think Iron Man and War Machine are doing a little Ass-2-Ass!
-
I honestly cant even beging to explain how excited I am to see the upcoming Marvel Universe films come together. I only wish there was some way to get Spiderman and Hugh Jackman Wolverine to appear in the Avengers movie....c'mon Disney...spend a few more million and make it happen!!!!
-
...would RUIN an Avengers movie. Different cinematic universes, first of all, and besides, by 2012 the original hardcore Avengers team will hopefully be in place in the pages of the mainstream 616 universe. Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Clint-as-Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel and all the rest one on team. Hopefully Luke Cage will get the promotion to the big leagues he deserves, and Spidey can go back to solo action and Wolverine can go back to Uncanny, Astonishing, his 36 solo titles and X-Force.
-
Plus would you really want to be flooded with Toby Mcguire tears the whole time. That guys sucks Rami ruined spider-man with all his whiny antics in 2 and 3. As for IM2 I am excited. Also the Avengers could be some fun who for Cap though?
-
What the hell are you talking about? Thomas Haden Church was tapped for Spider-Man 3 because of his turn in Sideways thrusted him in the spotlight and got an Oscar nod.
Rourke is no different. He's hot right now (well not so much now...but he was clearly capitializing on his career comeback and I don't see him selling his soul, that's a little trite and premature to be saying that.
People who become, for lack of a better phrase "flavors" or "IT-people", even albeit temporarily usually are on the front of the shortlist for potential blockbusters right out the gate. That is of course there's reasons to give the studios to think otherwise. This is NOTHING new in Hollywood..... -

Cinematic Avengers line-up. Who do people really want?
by royston lodge
No Wasp? No Vision? No Tigra? No Giant-Man/Ant-Man? No Scarlet Witch? No Wonder Man? No Hercules? No Quicksilver? No Namor? No Black Knight? No Mockingbird?
I agree that Spiderman and Wolvie should be kept out of it, but you really should get Hulk in there. Hulk's unstable personality would really add to the narrative's tension and suspense levels, as the other Avengers struggle with how safely harness his raw power.
I also wouldn't hate a Fantastic Four cameo (maybe limited to a housewarming fruitbasket from the FF when the Avengers cut the ribbon on their New York mansion.)
Ms. Marvel?!?! WTF? -
Follows the formula of the first film:
IM1
Early villains -- Afghan terrorists.
Has a friend -- Obadiah.
Friend turns to dark side and becomes film's ultimate villain -- Iron Monger.
IM2
Early villains -- Whiplash/Black Widow.
Has a friend -- Cheadle's Rhodes.
Friend turns to dark side and becomes film's ultimate villain -- War Machine.
Hence the production reason why Howard was replaced.
After seeing the first film, audiences never would have bought Howard's Rhodes as a villain.
But it's easy to imagine the more sour, more arrogant Cheadle ("Fuck you, Tony, I'm the real badass here") playing a villain.
