Iron Man 2 Prevails Number One For the Weekend

cool

@Paulley HELL YEAH.....That's all I'm thinking about.

Dave@ It's like we watched different a different movie. I thought the action was better and more well-paced in the second movie. Why wouldn't the general public like that? My friends certainly did. Different strokes for different folks. :-)

I am just glad it beat out Robin Hood, considering I am boycotting that film.

I saw Robin Hood, and I'm sad to say I was not impressed. Kinda expecting a little more from the star and director of Gladiator. The truth is I only had one or two problems with the movie (which was with the writing), but those problems have the potential to ruin the movie for me. I felt so confused through the first hour with the introduction of the characters and all the plots of the film. I mean I was able to piece together and figure out what was going on eventually, but that shouldn't be up to the viewing audience to do or at least I felt that it wasn't what Ridley Scott had intended for the audience. Also as the movie kept progressing it felt less and less about Robin Hood and more about the politics of England at the time. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. I would have rather spent another $7.00 on Iron Man 2. It was certainly a more solid movie. I hope it continues to do well.

oh btw... if you feel like hearing my opinion on the new Spidey Reboot and feel like throwing your opinion up for all to see, check out my article:

For the record I think pimping articles is bad and rude to the writer who's article you're commenting on and I'm not gonna make a habit out of this. So yeah... now my ass is covered...


@Ranger: Why are you boycotting the film (er, other than everything I just said)

IRON MAN 2's just a wanna be DEMON IN A BOTTLE! : P

Still cool news its making money!

no friggin surprise here.

@Ranger: LoL I didn't really think much of the accent, I actually never pay attention to them in movies. If the actor's accent is somewhere from the UK and the movie takes place somewhere in the UK I almost completely buy into it. What I did have a hard time buying into was an Irish ginger Will Scarlet. I could never imagine him being Irish.

Oh it probably didn't help Crowe's cause that the movie was about how Robin Hood starts out. Yeah they took a lot of liberties with the story.

Excellent. Regardless of your feelings about Iron Man 2 (I though it was brilliant!) it's success can only be a good thing for the future of Marvel movies! :)

Did outgross Avatar?

gtrman@ Like I said, it's okay if they decided to do a completely different story in this film, but a 46 year old Robin Hood doesn't interest me, especially when it is Crowe playing him. :P

@Dave-I'm pretty sure you're saying that because you're a DC fan. I took the wife (whose comic reading is comprised of only Jeff Smith's "Bone" and the first book of "Y the Last Man") and she thoroughly enjoyed it (i.e. not a comic geek). The action was well placed throughout the film and Rockwell was one of the best non-action villains in a CBM. Looking forward to the DC stuff as well.

@brazilianbatman-You were expecting more from IM2 and want to see Shrek 4. Really?

@gtrman-Maybe Robin Hood started out because of a mid-life crisis.

My wife and I just saw Iron Man 2. After the mixed bag reviews, I went in with moderate expectations. And that wasn't necessary, because we both had a great time. It proved that some people coming down on movies like this, like to be negative about it because that's what they're best at in life. It's the reason we have movie critics, who otherwise would be starving in the streets because they have no other talent in life. :)

Bless their stressed little hearts and runaway blood pressure. :D

Iron Man 2 rules!!

I LOVED IRON MAN 2..IT WAS AWSOME.

Going to see it this weekend. Have been waiting to see it with my son. On Eonline they are saying Iron man is not doing so well. They thought it would have done $60 Million its second week and since it hasn't pulled its weight (dropping more then 50%)they are almost calling it a weak movie and that it is not meating expectations????? So what is it???? Making money or not as strong as people thought it was going to do???

Cool. Robin Hood was good too but Iron Man 2 was more fun
:)

@gunsmith - That Wolverine claws video is Awesome... But that guy has some anger issues. LOL
...Oh and that Ironman/Daft Punk fight scene song is this one. Daft Punk is amazing I can't wait to hear their stuff in TRON LEGACY. LOL
