Well, I am going to try this once again. This time I hope it will be a proper review of this topic.
I just got done watching Iron-Man 2 and all the extras on blu-ray(it only took me two days) I must say for the most part I was happily surprised with the whole second disc of extras in general. What really was disappointing was the Shield Vault on the first disc.
At first, it was weird to figure out how to interact with it (it took me a minute or so to get use to using my ps3 DVD remote). Once I did, it was a piece of cake. There are many different interaction sections. The first is a mini movie clip section of scenes from the movie that give you some detail and background on certain things within the movie.
The next interactive section is a character bio page. This is where I begin to have problems with the "Vault." There are some pages that give just a name and picture but all other information is labeled "Classified." Not even a little bit of back story from what we all know from the comics or the first movie let alone other movies that have tied into both I.M(Iron-Man)1&2. (For example both Hulk movies.)
The next section is Howard Stark's storage box. The things that you find in there are kind of cool and some are just puzzling unless you can get the tie-in (which I think I did on the two things.)
Now here is where I really have the biggest problem of them all! We all know that Thor is the next movie to come out, and Cap is to follow that. Yes Howard Stark had more to do with Cap, but wait, don't you think that Marvel would want to hype both movies? There is a section in the bio page named Captain America that is totally "Classified."
The section under Agent Coulson and New Mexico is also "Classified." Yet at the end of I.M.2 we all saw the Thor preview. So what gives? I think that Marvel really dropped the ball here and could have set up both movies nicely with some much needed pre-hype.
Not only that, but we all remember that map in the background with the points of interest on it right? It does not even show up other than in the background of video clips and Pictures.
Well, all, there you go just one man's thoughts. If you saw the the "Vault" let me know what you think. If you didn't I hope I didn't spoil it for you. Later.
