That's initial Rourke, he's sure to have an actual covered suit
by thoreau
-
Other than the fact that Terrence Howard would have been an awesome War Machine, this movie looks incredible. Go Rourke, he looks hell of sick!
-
I need her on my face right now, iron maiden or no iron maiden
-
Nothing says "big-budget action spectacle" like a field of exploding cars. This movie will own the summer of 2010.
-
Munn is magnificent.

I know people figured it would come off Boris and Natasha, but it ain't slipping or nothing.

nesssssssssssssssss

i know terrance howard and that's no terrance howard
by jeangrey_x23_lesbosex
Is it too early to put this on my top movies of 2010 list?
-
I'm still kinda trippin' on that Alice in Wonderland trailer. Go figure.
-
OK, initially I kinda thought they were rushing a sequel...but DAMN this looks awesome! Can't wait!
-
What the hell?
-
this has been posted here for ten minutes and nobody thinks it's a huge piece of shit? Nobody is going to complain that they've fucked everything up and this will ruin the franchise?
It's a Pissmas miracle! -
Looks awesome.
-
i cant stand so much awesomeness in one single day.jesus.
-
..so enjoy the silence. While it lasts.
-
Can't wait for 2012 when I finally get to see Captain America hold his Shield up and yell "Avengers Assemble!"
-
I think Rourke as the villian looks and sounds pretty bad, but I wouldn't say it's a huge piece of shit.
-
You're fuckin' old, dude.
-
Merrick, this thing about your son isn't going to become some beloved Internet meme like... All your base or whatever, no matter how hard you try.
-
Still seems pretty underwhelming to me.
-
I'm now more jazzed for this.
-
That looks pretty cool :)
-
I really mean it. Now it's an action comedy?
-
Iron Man was a good film but everyone acted like it was the most fucking badass and amazing film they'd seen in 50 years. It was not that. It was a good film but it was not a great film. It was not that amazing and I got tired of people telling me I should see it again and again. Overrated, but still good.
-
that's why I made my chest piece look like a triangle..."
If there were a line like this in the movie, that would really piss off DC Entertainment. Makes anything DC just a work of fiction in the Marvel Universe. -
Stop being a troll and get a life!
-
...think I fell asleep during that trailer.
-
I was starting to worry.
@Pres Leprechaun- fair enough. -
Gimmie some Iron Man girls.
-
Did you not see the first movie? Heavy comedic element to it.
-
I will never understand how Marvel, DC and co. can see material like this and the Iron Man films which just make GOOD FILMS with intelligent and witty scripts that just happen to have superheroes, and then continue to make bland, cookie-cutter crap with the rest of their comic book properties.
-
and the Iron Man 2 trailer is one of the best I've seen since The Dark Knight.
-
..don't try and talk sense to a cunt like Karl Childers. Joyless trolls like that merely want to shit on highly anticipated projects so their sad lives seem more relevant.
-
wow, this looks good.
-
People will go apeshit at the War Machine bit.
-
How does it feel to be less than a flash in the pan, ya balloon knot?
-
And I genuinely hope this one makes a gazillion dollars at the box office. Because that will help keep the studios churning out comic book movies. But these just don't do anything for me. I still haven't seen the first one, and a lot of the affects in this trailer look kinda cheese - the flying scenes in particular. Still, glad those who dig it are excited. Must mean it looks good to you guys.
-
Especially the end.
-
I'm assuming he's going to get an upgraded look by the end of the movie but.....is he able to repel bullets or something? Unless he's suicidal it seems awfully stupid for him to go out there with no protection from bullets. I know its comic book logic but even Dr. Octopus found a way to repel bullets to render the NYPD useless.
-
Trust JV w/RDJ, DC, Gp, even SJ & MR... But, nasty-choppy trailer...
-
...as those helmets clunk into place, love it! Looks like a proper trailer too, none of this teaser nonsense we're spoon fed these days.
-
I've never liked Paltrow till Iron Man.
-
DIE IN HELL YOU FUCKER
-
I'm just worried that Favreau will put too much emphasis on comedy. We don't need another Fantastic Four.
-
any downloads available?
-
lovin mickey rourke those whips r fuckin badass...n war machine goddamn looks lk a monster i got a mad chubby right now haha
-
I think 2010 is gonna be a good one.
-
Iron Man & War Machine? HELLS YEAH.
-
but still looks awesome!

OH MY GOD THIS LOOKS LIKE SHIT!! HA HA HA THIS MOVIE WILL FLOP!
by rev_skarekroe
Nah, I'm kidding. I think it looks great. I just wanted to be "that guy" before "that guy" actually gets here.
-
lol Was their comment removed? Or is the hate from the past? I don't see anything from them in this talkback. Color me confused. I had trouble getting the trailer to play as well - they're probably getting nailed with heavy traffic. I refreshed, let it reload and the next time it hit play I had no problems.
-
Shame they erase someone's history when they get banned. Be nice to see what everyone was reacting at.
-
Thought I was loosin' muh dang mind.... or a whole bunch of talkbackers were.
-
Rourke is listed only above Sam Jackson. Paltrow, Cheadle, Johannsen, and even Rockwell are listed ahead of him. Is Rourke really the villain or just some kind of catalyst to launch the story?
Anyway, the quality of the first film already ensured that I'd see the second film, and this trailer doesn't change my opinion. -
Karl clearly didn't see or pay much attention to the first movie. I imagine when the Batman 3 trailer comes out he'll complain, "So now they're making it dark and serious!?"
-
I observe the Iron Man armor looks a little different in the final battle, as the light on the chest is an inverted triangle. One thing that bothers me slightly, but doesn't really because it's a comic book movie, is the way Stark's helmet was thrown out the airplane and he dove after it, helmetless. I just wonder stuff like hard would it be to track the helmet which is already in freefall, especially if you're zooming around at high speeds without goggles; and how much armor functionality is lost without the helmet. It made his secretary look like she wasn't concerned about his safety, but I know she cares. I enjoyed the first movie much and look forward to this one.
-
Some actors don't care about that stuff, some care quite a lot. There are a few who have been known to ask for their name to be moved down, listed in a group, or removed altogether.

Replacing a Light Skin Black Guy with a Dark Skinned one...
by mr. profit
Is fucking stupid. And sends a really odd message. When white actors are replaced, they usually try to get someone who looks similar. But here, you mean to tell me that Don Cheadle looks like Terrence Howard? Give me a fucking break. Couldn't they have AT LEAST TRIED to get someone who looked similar? Like Michael Ealy? Aside from that, the trailer looks good. And it looks like it has all the action that part one was missing.
-
"Rourke is listed only above Sam Jackson. Paltrow, Cheadle, Johannsen, and even Rockwell are listed ahead of him. Is Rourke really the villain or just some kind of catalyst to launch the story?"
Ding ding! Rumor has it, that it's just a cameo, but I'm not going to pretend if I know the answer to that one.
-
Do not think about this movie, just enjoy it!
-
...just like IM 1
-
Ya, I kinda thought Paltrow was an idiot for tossing out the helmet, LOL.
-
...if you get to see him build the prototype suit, working whips and then cut Stark's F1 car in half. Just sayin'. Could be true, but it would seem odd to put that much of him in the trailer if he didn't have much time in the film. Especially because he's on a hot streak with Sin City and The Wrestler. Which technically means there's like, 3 or 4... 5? Academy Award nominated actors in that film. Paltrow, Cheadle, Downey and Rourke for sure. Does Scarlett have any yet?
-
Wow based on that trailer I'm ready for this movie. War Machine looks badass. -
Hot damn Downey Jr was perfect casting. Might go down in history as THE best example of superhero casting ever. Only competition is the late Heath Ledger, but might edge him out as Downey Jr was too fuckin' hardcore to die. Also coke might be safer than sleeping pills. I still need to do research on that.
-
I thought the same thing. I'd be like "YOU FUCKIN' BITCH!"
-
Dec 16, 2009 7:26:26 PM CST
If that was half the movie I will gladly pay for the other.
by thejokesonus
First one ruled, this one will, too.
-
@ cyberskunk - good catch on the breastplate, I missed that. Just watched the trailer over in slow motion and there's a lot good stuff hidden in "blink and you miss it" moments. Totally didn't see Sam Rockwell on the first couple of viewings for example. Also noticed Iron Man being chased by what looks like a lot of guys in suits where all the cars are getting blown up. Roll on May 2010!
-
Good God, that was sick! I have to say that I'm not completely sold on the Whiplash/Jessica Biel thing, but I'm so amped to see War Machine that it really doesn't matter. and MR Profit, shut the fuck up. Get outta here with that racist garbage.
-
I'm just hoping they're not turning up the comedy element moreso than the first one.
Now that RDJ is hot again after the first one, I'm hoping they don't use that as an excuse to let him have more free reign in that regard.
I prefer a 60/40 balance of action and comedy. Also, I was stuck watching the Entertainment Tonight trailer instead of the Quicktime because of restrictions at work so maybe they played the comedy element up more. -
HOLY SHIT!!!!! I'M THERE!!!
-
wait till you see the cameos in this one
-
Hilarious. Downey is the fucking man. Awesome trailer. My one concern is the movie looks a lot looser than the first. Jet setting, jumping around all over the place, lots and lots of characters. I just hope it doesn't lose focus. No real complaints though, looks excellent. Downey looks like hes having even more fun than in the first. Gywneth looks insanely hot with red hair...yet again! Iron Man was the first time in her career I was legit attracted to her. Pepper is hot. Mickey Rourke looks and sounds fantastic, not as cheesy as the promo stuff made me expect.
-
Just been looking at the cast list on IMDB - Olivia Munn listed as Melina Vostokoff/Iron Maiden. First I've heard of that. Lady Iron (Wo)Man?! Cool!
-
by Favs himself. Don't listen to him. The planned Thor cameo was reworked to show Captain America's frozen body near the end. Jett doesn't know what he's talking about.
-
SHAAAAAAAAAT uuuuup already. lol
-
*FAINTS*
-
and it's hard to overlook the fact that Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr, COMBINED are like 6'3...still, looks like fun, we're all obviously going to see it. yup.
-
Al Jourgensen.
-
Goddamn, I've dug that character ever since Romita Jr. and Layton used to draw him in the early 80s. I'm not thrilled about Whiplash but this trailer can't be denied. BRING ON IRON MAN 2. RAAAAA!!!
-
Yeah, I heard that. But I also heard that he refused to leave the set and Favreau had him removed for trespassing and arrested. Also heard that he acquired a taste for "chili dogs" while in jail. Double foot long with extra chili was his fave.
-
Revolutionary game-changer mind-blowing jaw-dropping change movies forever like dreaming with your eyes open epic masterpiece fucking your eyeballs
-
The trailer is still wonderfully vague on details. They're just trying to surprise us; Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man are gonna show up for sure.
-
Wonder if that was intentional.
-
Not to high jack the Iron Man 2 love fest(which looks great by the way) but a new trailer is up for the Clash of the Titans remake. The kraken looks damn ugly!
-
And is that stupid Will Smith thing really just a rumor? I haven't heard shit about that movie since.
-
i'm having a movie hard-on right now. hell yeah!
-
I'm not even black for starters. Secondly, how the fuck was what I said racist? It's the truth. It's like how they replaced Katie Holmes with a ugly ass Maggie. No one didn't even know she was the same character from part 1. Now you have dark Don Chedle replacing light Terrence Howard? People are going to get confused. Recasting should be seamless.
-
Already on my iphone...
Mickey Rourke owns. And way cool to see IM and Warmachine back to back.
Awesome -
How is it that that guy from Air America and the director of Zathura can get me more excited than James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver making a movie these days????? Strange days people. Strange days. Looks fucking amazing. I vote Downey Jnr for God.
-
I thought maybe it was the guy who directed Rocketeer. imdb says Joe Johnston... yeah, he directed Hidalgo and The Rocketeer... and The Wolfman? I guess so.
-
With as big of a character, you'd think they would have gotten the WWII and pulp character addict Senor Spielberg himself.
-
Looks great! That final shot of Iron Man and War Machine wreaking absolute mayhem is excellent! Rourke should make a suitable villain. He's a guy I would NOT mess with in real life. Bring it on!!
-
Like the first one. I'm there.
-
Looks like they knocked it out of the park.
-
Dec 16, 2009 7:55:10 PM CST
and whatever the actual reasoning was behind his departure...
by antilife_equation
... Terrance Howard fucked up. like, massively.
-
other than that it looks fucking awesome, especially war machine.
-
EEEEEEEEEeeeeeee!!!!!!! Stark stepping out of the Iron Man suit wearing a tux! How pimp is that?
-
wait till you guys see the movie, it's going to be a tits
-
..just kidding that trailer was awesome,Terence Howard must be gutted!
-
....other than money for Howard not appearing in this film, do you? He was in a couple big films where his performance was recognized, thereby raising his "profile", demanded more money and was told no. Not sure what other reason there could possibly be.
-
there is no single greater element to making a good comic book movie than casting a good actor for the villain. hint: try using an ACTOR, not a star. mickey rourke is a stroke of genius and this will attain a spider-man 2 level of quality, i predict/hope
-
To be fair to Terence Howerd he didn't demand more money,the producers just didnt want to honour the contract they had with him..they wanted to reduce his fee, this plus Favreau not gelling with him meant adios!
-
-- and I have to say this looks pretty paint by the numbers. No surprises what-so-ever and the fact that they are "killing" Tony at the end just to get people to go see part 3 is just stupid.
-
This will be an improvement on IRON MAN. Huzzah!
-
Overrated prima dona who has a penchant for running into conflict with cast members.
-
Dec 16, 2009 8:19:51 PM CST
... and then as he sees his shady, yet loyal, meth dealer.
by antilife_equation
-
Until I find out more about 'Inception', this is my most anticipated film of 2010. Still, I don't think Tony could find the helmet falling thru space without the benefit of his HUD, which is accessed thru...his fucking helmet. Thanks a lot, bitch. But whatever, that last bit with all the robots/guys in suits was the ever lovin' shit!
-
That was done all the way back in Spiderman. "You're not Superman you know." Now we need a Marvel ref in a DC movie and I'll start writing Secret Crisis...
-
...when he was coming of several hot films, which would do nothing but bring more business? That doesn't really make much sense. But I certainly don't have any first hand knowledge of the issue, either.
-
Rourke's position in the credits doesn't mean his part is small or a cameo. After the main two, it's alphabetical, with Sam Jackson as the "special" final credit. (RDJ, and Paltrow, then Cheadle, Johansson, Rockwell, Rourke, and Sam Jackson.)
-
lmao. I am. Nobody black would make such an ignorant statement.you mean to tell me that you were 'annoyed' that Terrence Howard was replaced by a darker-skinned person and therefore 'that's sending an odd message?' no offense dude, but that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. And it's even more suspect because of all the cool/maybe not-so-cool stuff going on in the trailer, that's the first comment you madeI gotta say, I've read a lot of closet-racists' comments before, and yours just hit me with the "WTF". Why are you even looking at that shit?It was mentioned EARLY that Don Cheadle was going to replace Howard because of money/producers. Besides, I'm almost sure that Cheadle's role will be written into the script, rather than "pop! i'm darker now!" lol.Anyway, I didn't mean to snap at you like that if you're mad strictly for continuity reasons. I don't think it matters in this case but if you're really anal about it, then maybe you have a point. But consider the racial implications of statements you make like that, because people who are minorities could take it the wrong way, especially when the comment seems to come out of nowhere.
-
The Anti-Life Equation! Get the fuck away from me! I don't wanna work for Darkseid! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
-
The guy responsible for the good Clone Wars tv show, and Samurai Jack is in charge of the action scenes. I'm sold on that alone.
-
he's playing the same character that terrence howard played, theres no reason to introduce him since we were indroduced to him in the first filmbesides, we wrote the sript before Howard was fired, and of all the re-writes none had to do with Cheadle
-
despite being a bit underwhelmed by the trailer.
-
I am officially ignoring any post you make from now until the end of the mankind, this site, or my time on it. Annoying waste of bandwidth.
-
This looks fricking great. Favreau definitely nailed it again. RDJ really just looks like he's having a blast as Tony Stark. Probably the best casting in any comic movie yet.
I'm more excited for this than Avatar easily..
-
Wowzers. Can't they just insert Cheadle into the first one over Howard for a new DVD?
-
the only thing i really found "off" in the trailer, as already expressed above by some, was the whole chucking of the helmet thing. but then again... i'm sure flying around at jet speeds BARE FACED at night would be little more than a nuisance for ol' Tony. bitch would've caught an iron backhand for that one.
-
He came off like a prissy pansy. What was up with that lispy light voice? Was that his idea of doing a "character" for the film? So glad they got rid of him.
-
Mickey Rourke looks like a ridiculous cheese fest! He looks like an extra from the Batman & Robin movie.
-
The more I think about, the more puzzled I get. Your statement implies one (or both of two things)"I don't like seeing dark people on screen."or"The only difference in the way black people look is by their color."There's a lot more to replacing an actor's look than the color of that actor's skin. I bet Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle look more alike than Terrence Howard and Vin Diesel. It's about the build, the actor's aura, personality, how they act, etc. And I'd say that Terrence Howard has been matched here pretty well.anyway, back to the trailer. Things look good. I just hope that Jessica Biel doesn't "Blade Trinity" this movie. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from that shit.
-
I never really either saw much of her movies or liked her in anything. And she often seems like, I dunno, too untouchable to be sexy. But I really liked her in Iron Man and her and RDJ have great chemistry.
-
I like Terrance Howard and all, but now I kind of wish they just had Cheadle all along. I bet he and RDJ have all kinds of chemistry. Like a whole set.I love the RDJ is the shit now and getting all kinds of work because when I saw him in Heart in Souls when I was a kid I fell in love and there you go.
-
. . . so sorry if I'm repeating this. But is it possible Tony got most of an arm amputated by Whiplash on the race track? Kinda looked like it, but I haven't rewatched yet.
-
Why do people keep mentioning her she's in this movie? Or are people confusing her with Scarlet for some reason?
-
your will is his bitch. now be a good chap and make Elektra the ONLY Marvel propertied film you see in 2010!! which $3.99 bargin bin you find it in is totally up to you, though.
-
Cannot wait until May. This looks so awesome. And, frankly, Cheadle is much better casting for Rhodey. Terrence Howard was the weak spot for me in the last one. He's a good actor, but Cheadle just fits it better. Mr. Profit, the message they're sending is that they cast an awesome actor who will own the role, unlike Howard, who did not. There's enough real racism out there. You don't need to make shit up.
-
did Biel ever say she'd be part of this movie?
anyway, hopefully Scarlet can fight better than Biel. -
Jesus God, 'Elektra' even managed to make Jen Garner ugly! Must....fight....use....will... Aw, but my will won't!
-
You know there's no way the Blue Beetle's scared of Darkseid. He took on Doomsday, you know.
-
...like a lil bitch in the first one. My buddy next to me turned around and asked "Since when does War Machine sound like my lil sister?"
-
...Doomsday grabbed him while he was distracted and beat him against a steel pipe until he was comatose. Still, Blue Beetle could totally take down Iron Man. Or War Machine. That'd be pretty easy for him, actually.

That's the 2nd comic book movie to use "You complete me."
by jackbauer@ctu
I guess Stark and the Joker are big "Jerry Maguire" fans.
-
Favs caught him taking props to sell on eBay. Don't listen to him, they don't set up Iron Man 3, they set up Avengers.
-
This is going to be an epic.
-
Seriously tho, is there a law against having too many badasses in a movie? Guess not, considering Favs is still a free man! Cannot effing wait!
-
...Sam Rockwell and Scary Jo, but otherwise it rocked!
-
agree?
-
Wow, that was a cool trailer. The flash of Iron Man and War Machine obliterating that robot horde left me giddy. More please.
-
which I wasn't even crazy about. Great little trailer.
-
"You complete me." Was it when they were on the plane or what?
-
May 2010 can't come soon enough.
-
Was watching it at work, couldn't hear it too well.
-
amirite? This trailer was kinda lame to be honest. I'm not really feeling it, I hope it's as good as the first film though. It was a fun comic book film, but Rourke looks like such a wanker here. I'm not sold on him yet. I think Rockwell and Downey Jr. will keep this afloat.
-
Cool. Fuck Inception who cares.
-
The only thing I feel concerned about is that there might be a lack of focus because of too many characters, and that they might play out RDJ/Stark's lovable douchebag personality to the point of irritation. The latter problem happened with Pirates; Depp was great the first time around, but overexposure in the 2nd and 3rd movies made the character seem rather 2 dimensional. It seemed like Depp was trying so hard that he ended up parodying himself from the 1st movie.
-
which is the vibe I'm getting from this. Hell, they even listened to the fanbitches and threw War Machine in there (similar to throwing Venom in Spidey 3). I want to enjoy this but man I thought the first trailer was way more enjoyable. Also what the fuck? Half-second clip of the most interesting character in this film? Needs more Rockwell.
-
'Next time, baby.'-Rhodes
Any bells a-ringing there, pally? -
Dude should get two Oscars for 'Moon', am I right?
-
Dec 16, 2009 9:51:31 PM CST
no. no. NOOOOOOOOOOO!! let's NOT play the zero sum game
by antilife_equation
with Inception v IM2! we went through this shit before with Iron Man and TDK. can't they *both* own our collective asses in 2010!? i mean... isn't that why we have two cheeks?
-
is it just these mediocre trailers though mate? Or am I just getting desensitized? I thought the Clash of the Titans trailer was alright at best, and this Iron Man 2 trailer barely held my interest. I enjoyed the Avatar trailers and Inception teaser. But these recent "BIG" teasers have just bounced off of me.
-
for The Road, dude needs one already.
-
When they recast important parts, they do not give a shit if the second actor looks like the first. They're more concerned with A) money and B) talent. Examples: Jennifer from Back to the Future I and II and April O'Neill from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I and II. So, it does not matter ONE BIT if Don Cheadle has darker skin than Terrence Howard. And honestly, those comments sound a bit bigoted. I doubt that's how it was intended, but it almost sounds like the darker skinned person is bad for the part bc he's, well, darker skinned.
-
Had a really shitty day, this makes up for it! Awesome!
-
Those same lines you've been spewing your entire time here at AICN got old 7 months ago.
-
The band? By the trailer or a talkbacker?
-
"you'd think they would have gotten the WWII and pulp character addict Senor Spielberg himself." No one "gets" Spielberg. Spielberg "gets" them. If he's interested.
-
In Iron Man and nothing else before or after. I as quite surprised. I think it has something to do with the character and her personality, honestly.
-
I wasn't that impressed. RDJ and Paltrow are charming and charismatic. I'm not really intrigued much by Black Widow or Whiplash. Is Whiplash the main villain? If Iron Man fights him in his armor, is it much of a match? Just fly up and fire down, the end. I didn't really know what War Machine was before the last movie, and he looks cool, but unnecessary. I really don't want to see every Iron Man movie villain being a guy with different tech/armor. Wasn't Iron Man's most persistent foe Mandarin, who used magic? That would be more interesting than another movie about Who Has the Biggest Gun. Yawn. This movie smells a little like Spider-Man 3. Too many new characters; none particularly interesting.
-
On purpose? An obvious send-up? Or a rip off? This looks like it's worth the price of admission but Goddamn I hate Rourke's hair and costume.
-
is a famous line from Jerry Maquire, which has been riffed many times. I'm shocked I have to explain this.
-
The youtube bootleg trailer used the song and I thought it fit the tone of the film better.
-

YEP, LOOKS JUST LIKE A TRAILER FOR AN IRON MAN MOVIE
by bringingsexyback
Could've used more ScarJo and Cheadle, less Rourke.

Dec 16, 2009 10:36:48 PM CST
I thought "you had me at hello ::cue tear::" was the famous...
by zombieheathledger
line from Jerry Maguire. Or "show me the money!" Easily both of these were more famous from that movie than "you complete me." Besides, that movie sucked. If you watched it more than once to memorize Cruise's or (Renee's) dialogue, that's on you buddy. I'd prefer to remember that line as the signature line of Heath Ledger's Joker that they played before they announced THAT HE WON THE OSCAR for his performance, including how he delivered said line. I'm shocked I have to explain this on a movie geek site.
-
I have to admit, it really pisses me off that you lay your bullshit so thick on these talkbacks. It really diminishes the efforts of genuine geeks, heartfelt haters and passionate film buffs who log on and fling their opinions towards others who care enough to fling it back. In order to exact my mental revenge upon you and to make myself feel oh-so-fucking superior to you, I like to imagine that you are a dog raping, serial panty sniffer who rarely leaves his mother's basement save to lure unsuspecting hounds into your 'sex garage' fitted out with harnesses and blood and shit-caked CCTV cameras. In your lonely downtime, you log in to talkbacks and act like you're some industry insider, just so you can feel a little tinge of inner-worth and self-importance caress your cheek, only for it to dissipate and leave you alone, empty and forgotten with nothing for company but the shit-eating bestial porn you have stuck on a loop in your well-worn, DNA smeared VCR.
Damn I must be psychic...
I've got to go now, there's german shepherd up the street that I've got my eye on.... -
Booyah! Zing of the day! =P
-
The line was made famous by Tom Cruise, not Heath Ledger. It doesn't need explaining. And while you made some good points, it doesn't take away from the fact that Maguire did it first and was directed towards a woman. And honestly, if you DIDN'T remember the line from Maguire, you wouldn't have found it so funny in TDK, so its not fair to pretend that only a Maguire-lover would remember its from the movie.

So are you saying that in the world of TDK that The Joker would've seen fucking Jerry Maguire and KNOWN that he was being ironic. Or at best, are you saying that Nolan wrote it as this "meta" known not to The Joker but only to the audience as an "in-joke." Eh, that's weak. I reject that. Ledger doesn't say it like Cruise nor does he say it with irony. What makes that line 'funny' is it's uncomfortableness it makes you feel that The Joker is being completely, deadly earnest in these lines usually reserved for lovers. There is a psychoticness to it, a homosexuality to it, this whackjob really feels like he has met the opposite side of his coin, his raison d'etre, his universal soulmate and he one hundred percent believes it and he doesn't give a FUCK how it comes off or who hears him say it. It is an absolute truth to him. I didn't think of that lousy Cruise movie once any of the million times I watched that scene and that line delivery. No, the line isn't original, it wasn't when Tom boo hoo'd it to Renee' either, but Nolan/Ledger totally fucking made it their own. And the idea of you supposed cool movie geeks sniffing in your tissues memorizing that touching moment between Tom and Renee' is really...really..sniff...touching.. Ok, fuck it, let's go pick out drapes together. We can go see BLINDSIDE and later make s'mores, too! LOL. GTFO.

Mattman pointed out the obvious, that the "You complete me" line is better known from Jerry Maguire than it is from The Dark Knight. You brought up an interesting idea that, both being comic movies, Iron Man could have been riffing on Ledger more than Maguire. But instead of admitting that yes, practically everyone knows its originally a line from Maguire, you came up with some sad insult that if you know the line (and its JM origin), then you must love a movie that "sucked" and not the Oscar winning film that stole it. And then you had to add that snarky "I'm surprised I have to explain this..." yadda yadda yadda crap line at the end. Point is, Mattman was right but it looks like you couldn't admit it. And I'm not saying that within TDK the Joker knew it was from JM, I was merely refuting your idea that we could only know the line bc we "memorized" the film, that there were other more famous lines from Maguire. That's ridiculous. I was pointing out that if that were true, that most pple wouldn't know the line itself, then the Joker's cribbing of it wouldn't have been half as funny. And you don't need to explain the Joker to me- I got it.

DVader you're wrong and you didn't answer my question
by zombieheathledger
You and Mattman are both suggesting then that Nolan wrote this line as a "meta" moment where we as the audience are supposed to be watching the Joker say this and not stay within the context of the movie and the relationship between the joker and Batman but rather we are all supposed to look at each other, give each other a tongue-in-cheek knowing wink and and a gentle elbow to the ribs while we whisper out the side of our mouths, "Tom Cruise- Jerry Maguire." And I reject that. There is sooo much going on in that scene that to wave that line off as just a cheap joke means you entirely missed the point and insults the intelligence of Nolan's great script. Maybe YOU guys thought of that movie because you are pushing 40 but the bulk of TDK's audience, the teens and the twenties weren't thinking of a decade plus old Tom Cruise movie when they saw that scene. They were staying within the context of the world that had been expertly created. And you don't need to explain to me my own points, I know what they were, I wrote them.
-
I didn't post in the SATC 2 TB but I read it. You're a funny guy Creepy. Completely fucking insane. But funny. (I agree with your politics, too.)
-
"I'm not saying that within TDK the Joker knew it was from JM." I don't know if Nolan wrote it as a "meta" moment or not, but what's great about the line is that it works as both a meta line AND as a commentary on the twisted relationship bt the Joker and Batman. Its meta-nature is what makes it funny (and why I believe most of the audience laughs at its cue). Its truthful nature is what makes it creepy. And dude, for once, lay off the insults and assumptions, and it will be much easier and more enjoyable to talk with you on here. And apparently I DO need to explain your points when you do such a pisspoor job of explaining them yourself. What started this shitty debate? When you came up with the ridiculous idea that Iron Man 2 was ripping off The Dark Knight when pretty much every film geek knows its originally from Jerry Maguire. End of story.

Didn't any of you cunting knobs realize that it was meant as a bit of playful irony from Stark? Get it IRONY!?! Bah, why bother with you fuckers.

I thought that he and RDJ had a good rapport in the first movie and I was looking forward to seeing him in IM2.

by zombieheathledger
The point is that line in that scene is NOT referencing Fucking Jerry Maguire in any way. If you got that from it, it's because you IMPOSED your own meaning onto it because you are pushing 40 and you remember Maguire as a big movie and that line stuck in your mind but it has NOTHING to do with anything the makers of TDK intended and the bulk of TDK's audience who were teenager and and people in their 20's sure as shit weren't thinking of fucking Jerry Maguire when Ledger said that line. Believe it.
-
You did not answer the second part of the question. Yes, genius, I realize that you answered whether or not Joker had seen JM, but you did not answer whether it was intended for the audience to reference that and you know you didn't answer that, that's why you THEN ANSWER ME! I know you like to be the Lord of Film on here DVAder and don't like to be challenged, sorry. But don't admonish me for being insulting and then insult me in the very next line.

by zombieheathledger

FACT: Jerry Maguire said the line first. Hell dude, look it up on YouTube. Heath Ledger even just about delivers his line JUST like Tom Cruise did. If you don't think there's even the POSSIBILITY that the line is referencing Jerry Maguire, if you just outright know that it wasn't, then you are an idiot. Or you're really JettL93 and he's been telling us the awful truth all this time. Also for the record, I'm nowhere close to 40 and find it quite insulting, and extremely amusing, that you think I am. I think you're just a tad bitter bc you never connected the line to another flick and thought it was part of Nolan's brilliance.

ZombieHeathLedger, YOU UNDERSTAND TDK'S USE OF THE PHRASE PERFEC
by tehcreepythinman
The fucking idiots that think “you complete me” was some kind of nod to Jerry Fucking Maguire don’t understand that what the Joker really meant was that Batman gave him purpose in life and in fact birthed his persona. What Nolan meant with “you complete me” was exactly what Gordon said at the end of Begins about escalation. The Joker is the direct result of the creation of Batman. If you don’t understand that then you are a retard with shit for brains.
-
You want to act like an ass you'll get treated in kind.

The interesting idea was that Iron Man could have been referencing TDK. The ridiculous idea is that Iron Man is ripping TDK off, a point you would seem to agree with since you think there's no way TDK *COULD* have been referencing Jerry Maguire.

that Iron Man's audience has definitely seen and hasn't been more than ten years since it was out. Are you saying that RDJ is then also referencing Jerry Maguire, too? Do you see how riDICKulous you are being?
-
Yeah, to think someone is ridiculous bc he thinks a movie is referencing another one when it uses the exact same line of dialogue.... hmmmm. I know you've heard that cliched line about the pot and the kettle, so I'm sure you understand you're fitting the description perfectly in this context.
-
Can you even admit the *possibility*, just the possibility, that Nolan and Ledger both thought of and considered that famous line from Jerry Maguire when they acted out the scene? Can you?
-
it may not have ANYTHING to do with it and you are IMPOSING that on it yourself. Yeah, it is ridiculous to me that to suggest that the line is some toss off joke and not THE pivotal revelation between the pro and antogonist in the movie, that it couldn't be meant in deadly earnest.

-
I already have. I'm smart enough to know that I DON'T know what the filmmaker is thinking. I'm not the self-important douche here who can't fathom the idea of being wrong. Funny, you could't even answer the simple question without trying to twist it into something I never said. Figures.
-
No matter what the origin, it has become part of the popular culture lexicon. It's use in any film is a nod to that. Move past it.
-
He's the god damned Crimson Dynamo. His character's last name is Vanko, same as the original Crimson Dynamo. The Black Widow is involved in this movie and she also featured heavily in the first Crimson Dynamo story. Also, if you watch the Iron Man 2 game trailer, you'll see some very bulky armor with a nice big fat Soviet star on it towards the beginning. That suit that Rourke's character has in that trailer clip has to just be prototype pieces that he's testing out for later on. It'd make no sense to have such a pathetic villain like Whiplash as a primary in the followup movie.
-
They had a few writers on that one and on this all they have is Justin Theroux who only seemed to get the job because he wrote Tropic Thunder which happened to star RDJ and, most worryingly, was his only screenplay credit before being hired for IM2. One of the reason that Spider-man 2 was a MASTERPIECE was because they had several people working on the script (including David Koepp and Alvin Sargent who wrote part 1, Smallville’s Alfred Gough and Miles Millar not to mention Michael Chabon) and Raimi cherry picked the best idea’s which is what a good Director always does. Spider-man 3 FAILED because Raimi wanted to write it with his brother while Sargent was only there because he’s married to Producer Laura Ziskin.
-
I feel bad for you if you got taken out of the context of the greatest scene of the greatest comic book movie ever and instead of being completely drawn into the psychological schock of what was transpiring, your minds left that interrogation room and went to fucking Jerry Maguire. I never made the connection because that movie is so old that I don't think that was the intention. Why didn't Nolan have Joker screaming at the mobsters to "show him the money!' while he was at it. DOn't worry Vader, you can still still finger your ass and count yourself the world's greatest lover.

-
Maybe it was an injoke but it's the meaning behind the words that is important. Do you understand that or do you just think Nolan threw it in there for a laugh?
-
Completely and totally laughable. If the filmmakers didn't want the audience to think of a previous film, then maybe they shouldn't have use the SAME EXACT LINES and delivered them in just about the same manner. Again, I point out this FACT to you: Jerry Maguire said the lines FIRST. It is not out of the realm of reason for someone to remember that fact when they watch The Dark Knight. Was it intentional? I don't know, and more importantly, YOU don't know. But I think it becomes more and more clear that your undying love for The Dark Knight has blinded you to the possibility that Nolan could have been referencing another movie. It must just KILL you when others talk about all the great crime films and noir films that Nolan was also potentially influenced by, huh? But no, the rest of us who have actual film memory are the idiots bc we can recognize when words strung together in a particular manner have been said before.
-
I've already explained why it is a great line. I've agreed that it is a great line. It works bc of the commentary on the Joker and Batman's relationship, but it also works on the "meta" level, whether it was intended or not, bc of its use in Jerry Maguire, and that is what gets laughs out of a lot of people in the audience. I can admit that I do not know the filmmaker's intentions, unlike ZombieHeathLedger. Also, does anyone know if that line was actually in the script or if it was a bit of ad-libbing by Ledger?
-
You prob like the smell of your own farts, too, right? Like that South Park episode? Now write another masturbatory 500 word post on the topic, oh Lord of Film!

And, in a typical fashion, once you've realized you're wrong and can no longer offer up any defense of your position or rebuttal to my argument (or admit even the possibility that you are wrong), you bait and switch and resort to insults instead. Figures. You've got nothing left and its obvious.

ZombieHeathLedger, I'LL TELL YOU WHY I THINK SM2 IS A MASTERPIEC
by tehcreepythinman
There are a number of reason that I think SM2 was an exceptional movie and a masterpiece. First, there is the fact that in SM2 the characters feel as though they have really moved through life between films. MJ is working a shit job while trying to break through as an actress and dating someone else. Harry is obsessed with punishing Spider-man which causes friction with Peter as Osbourne knows that Parker takes photos of SM and refused to tell him who he is. Aunt May is having financial troubles. Peter himself is being crushed under the weight of being Spider-man and having to not only go to school but also earn a living while living in abject poverty and dealing with everyone else’s shit. Doc Ock is also a superior villain then the Goblin who, yes, looked like a Power Ranger. But it was once again the theme of power vs. responsibility that drives the story home. Parker tries to give up being SM but he realizes that it is his obligation to use those powers for good and that he can’t walk away from them. At the end of the movie he also understands that he wasn’t being fair to MJ by denying her the right to choose whether or not to take the risk of being with him. Choice is the main theme of Spider-man 2. The moment that chokes me up is when Peter has saved the train and the passengers realize that he’s just a kid and also when he wakes up and realizes that his mask is gone but that the people he saved will keep his secret. What really kicks me in the nuts is when Doc Ock shows up and the passengers defend Spider-man when they know Ock could easily kill them. If that doesn’t move you then you are dead inside. Then there is the fact that Spider-man 2 feels like a full blown fucking Sam Raimi movie and is also his best since Evil Dead 2. I don’t see any difference between Spider-man 2 or The Dark Knight. All I see is two great movies that are exceptionally well made.

About the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object. And the one about Batman being not the hero Gotham needs but the one it deserves. I thought those said a lot about the characters.
-
but I'd rather they left Terence Howard.
-
Okay, let's get this straight. That line has been around even before Jerry Maguire. Even so, the line has way different context/meaning in Jerry Maguire, TDK, & IM2. So in the context of each movie, that line serves its own unique purpose. Maybe Nolan was referencing Jerry Maguire, and maybe Favreau was referencing TDK. Who knows? Nevertheless, in their own film worlds, they have distinct purposes and should be treated as such.
Jerry Maguire - Romantic, tear-filled line.
IM2 - From the looks of it, Stark seems to be joking around.
TDK - Joker expresses the nature of his and Batman's relationship; simply, that the Joker is Ying and Batman is Yang. Two forces that are profoundly opposite in nature, but nevertheless rely on each other to exist. -
admit it guys. You all stayed awake because of Robert Downey Jr. If they go for a greater emphasis on action with this sequel it's gonna suck. Because God damn, they were so damn dull in the first film. I liked Stark without the Armor on to be honest. Rockwell vs. Downey Jr. The ONLY reason to watch this.
-
this looks fuckin sick.
-
the first thing i thought of was one of the Austin Powers movies.
But yeah, the line first appears in, and is famous from, Jerry Maguire.
Google "film quote: you complete me" and see how many references your get to Jerry Maguire compared to The Dark Knight.
On the "Jerry Maguire" wiki page:
"The Joker in The Dark Knight humorously quotes Maguire when he tells Batman "You complete me." -
This is badassery. Yeah Whiplash's (allegedly) early armor design is a little weak, but it's not like hes a blue thundersmurf dragging the entire film down. 2010 is shaping up very nicely. Can't wait to fast forward past Avatard.
-
Rockewell's presence in this movie is a blessing.
-
'"You complete me," The Joker purrs to Batman, mockingly borrowing Tom Cruise's classic line from "Jerry Maguire"...' There are several other reviews that also mention the Jerry Maguire connection. The Jerry Maguire wikipedia page mentions it also. I could keep going with this... but you'll probably persist in stubbornly refusing to admit that you were the only person on the planet that wasn't in on the joke.

-
is probably the main villain. At the end of the trailer we see Iron Man and War Machine fighting off a bunch of robots or something. I highly doubt Rourke's Whiplash is behind those bad boys--it's probably Hammer, who like the govt wants to commandeer stark's technology
-
I was so glad when they did the circle first time around. Just don't like the triangle, here or in the comics, not as iconic.

Whiplash will not be the main villain. I'm hoping for some sort of Armour Wars for the third one, if there is one.
-

Who would've guessed a guy whose handle is ZombieHeathLedger would show blind devotion to The Dark Knight? Yes, only 40-year-olds are going to get the reference to "you complete me." They've certainly not invented things called DVDs and video casettes. I'm 27 and Jerry Maguire came out in high school for me. It was a popular movie. It was only 13 years ago. Where the fuck is this pushing 40 stuff coming from? Of course, this is the same talkbacker who argued with me endlessly on how they should have gotten some MMA no-neck to play Whiplash versus an Oscar-nominated actor who looks built as hell. Ohhhh, Zombie. The fact that you allied with TCM tells us all we need to know about you.
-
It's a reference to THE SIMPSONS. In that one, Homer cries out "Save me, Jebus!" instead of Jesus.
-
...even though I am one. Are you guys REALLY having a heated debate over the line, "You complete me" in the trailer? Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ, it was JUST a typical, funny Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark throwaway line. Nothing more. I got a laugh out of it. Angry geeks can suck the fun out of damn near anything.
-
I have to admit it
-
HOLY SANTA CLAUSE SHIT THAT LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME. I love the first Iron Man movie with all my heart and my peepee and this is easily my most anticipated movie of 2010. Only 141 days to go!
-
Wow, I wish someone had balls that big in real life. RDJ is my hero.
-
Whether you want to admit it or not you thick, stupid fucks. It's so goddamn obvious but you can't bring yourselves to admit it because it comes from a chick flick. LOLOLOL That along with SMTM and YHMAH are the three iconic lines from Jerry Maguire. There is no counter argument. It's not a coincidence.
-
I wonder if he'll do a musical number in the movie?
-
Only thing that didn't completely work for me (and the end fight could have been better, but it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.) T How has a lispy whiney high pitched voice that doesn't work for a military badass. Cheadle is a definite upgrade. People who get all bugged out by continuity annoy me, it's not that big a deal and they are going to recast all these characters when they get too old anyway...
-
As evidenced by the DVD deleted scenes.
-
What a chump. The Dark Knight is overrated anyway. Just ask Beaks!
-
i'm in favor of fun
-
That looks fucking cool. I love seeing Iron Man and War Machine fighting together.
-
Looks ok.
My problem with this and the first film is we have Downey playing Downey. Not Tony Stark.
No TDK isnt overrated. Greatest comic book movie ever.And yes SM2 is a masterpiece. I love SM2. Its too bad the studios dont have any faith in Raimi and it seems its time time to cash the check on that franchise. -
I'm not familiar with the IM comics, but those things at the end either look like robots or soldiers in IM knock off suits. Too cool.
-
Who would have thought the goofy guy from Swingers would make some awesome IM movies? I think IM2 is gonna be just as good as the first. I love Stark flying into that shindig in his IM suit, having it come off to reveal him in a suit, the scenes at the end with War Machine. I will be there opening night, no doubt.
-
that when Stark is laying there helpless with Whiplash coming towards him, War Machine flies in and saves him?

Was looking forward for after seeing the leaked ComicCon footage, the current lead up for Whiplash is weak. Also are they trying to insinuate Extremis with the armor triangle and the arc reactor becoming one with Stark?
-
HOW CAN ANYONE GET EXCITED OVER THIS CRAP TRAILER FOR FUCK SAKES, IT'S TOTAL CRAP !
-
My wife said the line "You complete me." Was used in Brokeback Anus. And since Ledger was in Brokeback, I would be willing to bet that line is a nod and wink to that film, not Jerry Macguire.
-
This is going to be the biggest hit of 2010! $700-750M WW easily.
Everything just felt so right in the trailer, the editing was seamless and RDJ is just on fire right now hes an upstoppable force of acting nature!
So much to like. Peppers helmet kiss is very erotic, Iron Man landing in his own cheerleaders comic con, Cheadle looks the part & we know he can act!
Only weak part was Rourke just not buying him but its probably unimportant as IM is all about RDJ, Pepper & War Machine anyway.
Who knew RDJ could conquer his personal demons & make this comeback. Right now he is the hottest actor in hollywood & probably the biggest draw in the world. The guy is just on fire!!!! -
With some of the stuff coming out this year I think we have a great year of geek movies and some all around great filmaking to pick from..
-
I'm not teribly familiar with all of his villains so I'm a little confused by this. I noticed Marvel has a storyline going on with him right now but has he ever shown up the universe before?
-
As I found Iron Man to be highly overrated; a piece of mediocre popcorn cinema. Based solely on this trailer, Iron Man 2 looks to be oodles better.
-
He looks like he'll be a huge problem for IM but won't really take a lot of screen time away from the main characters. Rourke looks fine and his accent works.
-
No I don't find her a particularly good actress, and in real life she is so self absorbed and nutty my teeth grind when she speaks...But my god I want to put a ball gag in her mouth, bathe her in warm Peppermint Schnaps, and then lick the sticky residue from those insane long, perfect legs of hers as if they were giant fucking candy canes. Merry Fucking Christmas Ms. Paltrow.
-
Feels like its so old I saw it in High School. Can't believe it took so long between movies. Shit even RDJ is popular again.
-
thats somewhere between 4 and 7 hookups ago.
-
until I saw her in Iron Man... for whatever reason she looks really good in that.

But the issue of whether or not TDK was intentionally referencing Jerry Maguire is so fucking irrelevant. What matters is that Iron Man is referencing Jerry Maguire, NOT The Dark Night!
ZombieHeathLedger makes a huge deal about the fact that TDK would never have referenced a silly romantic comedy for such a crucial, serious scene, but apparently doesn't realize that he's completely undermining his initial argument (that Iron Man is ripping off The Dark Knight). When Tony Stark flippantly tells his love interest "you complete me," is he (a) referencing and playing off of a well-known comment in a romantic comedy that has become a cliched romantic gesture, or (b) referencing a dark film in which a villain psychotically states that a hero led to his creation. Here's a hint . . . one reference makes sense, and one doesn't. -
So he wouldn't be above referencing a romance flick... especially one with dialogue that has been ingrained into pop culture. At the same time, as Dvader pointed out, the line is also very appropriate in describing the Batman/Joker relationship. And what's also amusing is that the Joker is just as sincere as Tom Cruise when he says it.
-
She looks like a redheaded, 110#, secretarial fuck machine in Iron Man...4" fuck me shoes and all.If Downey didn't plow that delusional chick between takes I'm calling bullshit on his man status.

This looks like Batman Forever and Spiderman '3 love child

"You complete me" has become a huge pop culture quoted 1 liner ever since Jerry Maguire was released. It's become one of the most mainstream and repeated jokes in history, all because of that movie. To deny that it had anything to do with the Joker saying it is tomfoolery. I suggest you seek psychological care because I'm concerned for your mental stability if your denial is so strong you hav to continue arguing about it even though you're obviously so very wrong.
-
The one regarding the creation of War Machine ("All of them")... it makes more sense with that one then to go straight into War Machine/Iron Man team up.
-
Yum yum.
-
How will he ever be able to afford Baby Wipes? BTW Wesley Snipes would made an awesome war machine.
-
Hey, Drew, how's it goin'?
-
...Who's coming with me? Who's coming, man? Who's coming with me?
-
Tony Stark with her coldness toward him.I think it is a reference to TDK do to the jump off. I think it's a joke about the back and forth between the 2. But who knows.
-
Only RDJ and Jon Favreau can answer whether or not using the line was a nod to the DK for using it too. I thought of the DK when RDJ first said it even though a lot of movies use it too.

"Keep your friends close, enemies closer" is clearly a reference

to Uwe Boll's BloodRayne.

I guess we'll have to wait for the movie commentary.

The opening cameo in the Iron Man movieThis is the music that you hear as you watch the trailerI'm almost half way through itHow do you like it so far?How do you like my cameo in Iron Man?

When Depp says "We're gonna need a bigger boat" in BLOW
by mattmanreturns
you guys probably thought he was referencing Clerks.
-
...I've never even seen Jerry McGuire in its entirity, but I'm aware of all of the most famous quotes. Hell, if you walked up to ten people on the street and said "You complete me.", 9 out of 10 would say Jerry McGuire whether they'd seen it or not. But 10 out of 10 would be really creeped out. Point is, the Joker wouldn't have to have seen 'Jerry McGuire' to be able to quote it, but in the quote-unquote ultra-realistic world Nolan has built in the films it is not un-realistic to think that the movie 'Jerry McGuire' exists and that the character of the Joker has, in one way or another, been made aware of cultural flashpoints of the film. Jeez louise that's a lotta talk about nothing.

Triangular chest piece on Iron Man at end of trailer
-
Yeah, I feel like we're trapped in a Seinfeld episode.
-
That's all. Oh, and Don Cheadle kind of has a high, soft voice as well.
-
Yeah, it's quite silly, but there it is. And I still couldn't resist adding my two cents. On a lighter note, I cannot wait for this movie. I think Iron Man proved that a movie can be fun without having to remove your brain. Hopefully the sequel will continue the trend.
-
Umm, it comes right after he asks her for a kiss, and she plants a (jokingly) loving one on his helmet. If you think it's a joke about "torture" and the Batman/Joker relationship, rather than a continued play on the mock romance, I don't know what to tell you. You're stretching so far that you're going to hurt yourself.
-
I found the first one very entertaining and think Stark is a fun character. And I've always loved Black Widow, so I'm looking forward to seeing her realized in live action.
-
political and personal fallout from the impulse decision to reveal himself as ironman
ironman live in concert
action looks faster paced
It's not as though the villains are just incidental - this movie is a result of events in the first movie, which is not always the case with a sequel. Often, in a sequel, the only thing leading from one movie naturally to the next is $$$. -
It's definitely Jerry.

PHANTOM MENACE REVIEW!!!WATCH THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

It's nothing more than a collection of cute randomness cobbled together to give you a quick "money shot" at the end. Let's hope that RDJ's charisma is enough to carry this one, too.
-
"Gywneth looks insanely hot with red hair...yet again! Iron Man was the first time in her career I was legit attracted to her."
Seconded. -
At least somebody noted that even at the most serious of moments, a character aptly called THE JOKER could whip out a romcom reference.
And at least somebody else also noted that there is no way in hell that Tony Stark is thinking about Joker vs. Batman when he says "You complete me" to Pepper.
To me, it is blindingly obvious that both lines were meant to indicate that yes, these characters have seen the movie Jerry Maguire, and were using a well-known line from it.
In other news, this was surprisingly meaty for a teaser. -
his heart couldn't take the complete pwning. He will be missed. By the employees at the Burger King in Lima, Ohio.
-
i fear for the kid to have such a fucking stupid retarded dad. yeah thats right go fuck farrah fawcett's cold puss.
-
Said Tony Stark to Pepper Potts.
-
Iron Man says to the room. Only War Machine steps forward.
-
Hey, Drew, how's it goin'?
-
I'm a huge fan of Dark Knight. Acknowledging it has a reference to a popular romantic Tom Cruise film doesn't diminish it in any way. The Joker watches movies just like the rest of us. I'm sure he laughed his ass off watching Jerry Maguire.
-
How's the nonexistent wife and kids? The name's not Drew. It's Yo Daddy. Actually, that name could be claimed by 99% of the talkbackers here. Ohhhh man, that was good for a laugh. "There's absolutely no way that Christopher Nolan had ever seen Jerry Maguire and decided to use that mass-consciousness bit of common knowledge to wryly comment on the relationship between Joker and Batman. No way! That shit was all 2008 Ledger and Bale!" And then every...single...talkbacker disagreed, and with valid reasons. Whew. Quick! Distract them with your ideas for Brock Lesnar to play Whiplash. Hurry!
-
i like everything but the upside down triangle chestplate design on the final armor. I know it's currently in the comic book, but I still think Iron Man should have a spherical chestplate. It's one of those things that makes him unique. After all, he's not Superman, He's Iron-Man!
P.S.--- If you really want to use a triangular chestplate design, then at least round out the edges and make him silver and red like in Iron-Man #200 (CHECK IT OUT!)
That Armor was always very cool!
-
Iron Man 2 looks fantastic! I can't wait for this movie, I know this won't disappoint.

-
Tell me you didn't sign with Sugar cause I'm still slightly moved by your 'my word is stronger than oak'...thing!
-
Hey, Drew, how's it goin'?
-
He's on repeat now.
-
I stopped posting because I said all I had to say on the subject but you insist on beating a dead horse which I just don't because I actually have a life unlike yourself. But please, feel free to post another three or four times with your buddy, Drew. You're hurting my feelings sooo bad, really, and geez, you're soooo funny. (Nah) LOL. Dork.
-
I agree, you shouldn't discriminate against homosexuals. Nice to see that ZHL pulled something away from countless hours memorizing the contents of Heath Ledger movies at the expense of everything else.
-
Hey, Drew, how's it goin'?
-
Who says "fail" anymore? Probably the same MENSA members that call people "don't hate faggots". So, sense we're calling each other by names other than the talkback handles, I'll refer to you in a manner to which you are accustomed to. Hey, pussy, how's it goin'?
