Great film thoroughly enjoyed. Iron Man vs. Whiplash and Hammer's Vanko charged robots with the help of his friends Black Widow and War Machine. I'm personally not a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts) and look forward to possibly the third installment of this film not having her as Stark's assistant with a slightly smaller role (fingers crossed). Scarlett Johansson's character (Natalie Rushman / Natasha Romanoff) will make a more than suitable replacement and opens a whole avenue for story lines with the introduction of Black Widow. While Scarlett pulls off the role, her fight scenes weren't always fluid and clearly was cast as "eye candy", but who am I to complain about that? Don Cheadle (Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes) handles his role well for having replaced the previous actor, Terrance Howard (not a fan of Howard's anyway). Jon Favreau does a fantastic job directing and revisiting his role as the Chairman/CEO of Stark Industries Bodyguard (beginning to wonder if Favreau is trying to work a reference to MMA into every movie he's tied to). A cameo by Kate Mara (U.S. Marshal) was more than welcome as well, its unfortunate her character didn't have a larger role. Strangely Mickey Rourke (Ivan Vanko) appeared to have borrowed his wardrobe right from the film The Wrestler, complete with hoodie shirt, overly tight pants, boots and reading glasses. I had no idea ex con Russian Physicists dressed like burned out American wrestlers, go figure. Gary Shandling (Senator Stern) was perfectly cast and played it to a "T". The special effects were as expected and tastefully done without going over the top and distract from the film and story line.

Now with the world knowing his duel identity Tony Stark/iron man must now hold off the military from taking the suit from him for the interests of the american public...yeah right he also has a new enemy a russian scientist who has perfected somthing similar to tonys suit but this guys has electrified whips that can cut through anything and also hold off an army of robotic soilders a very entertaning film indeed i give it 10 ironmans outta 10

Watching Iron Man 2 is a little like spending the day in an over-crowded amusement park. It’s noisy, busy, over-stimulating and tiring but the intermittent flashes of excitement and entertainment keep you going.

Iron Man delivers the right mixture of action, humour, cheesy action hero one-liners, and most importantly – FUN. The first movie probable made you get up and say “whoa this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!” The sequel will probably make you say “hey this was friggin cool too”. What more do you want?

I hear all of you out there saying it wasn't as good as the first, in ways it was better and worse. Better in that it went more to comic book form, and worse that it sacrificed good actors with no real lines. In other words, you replaced Rhodes to give him 20 lines of dialogue, not amusing, nor intelligent. What I'm not sure of is everyone's familiarity with Shield, it should get far more interesting in the future, but that's if they can decide to throw in dialogue from lets say a six part series into the movie, and not a 2 or less.

storyline sucked... graphics and action was decent...another crappy hollywood movie that the director couldnt come up with a better story. Robert Downey Jr was really good and so was Don Cheadle. Movie was way too hyped up by people it was seriously not that good to get all that praise.

I thought this movie will be way more cool than the first one. But when I saw half of the movie, then I knew that this is not better than the first one. I like this movie, but I expected much more from this one. Defeating the bad guy didn't cost him much effort during the first fight and also during the final fight. There was nothing special. So, I rate this movie 3.5 out of 5. Not bad, not very good, but good.

WOLFMAN--MOVIE!2010-- a brief movie review.
Benicio Del Toro,as the wolfman,Talbot,and his father,Anthony Hopkins,make the plot and story here.
It seems that Del Toro is being seen as the murdering out-of-control vampire here, and not anyone else. However this version of the Wolfman story is a family affair.
Of course, the usual chase by the hunters and police, are dogging Del Toro;he finds out, that the horrible nightmare of seeing a wolf man kill his mother when he was a small boy, was really true.

So despite the fact that he tries to tell the law enforcement, that his father is the original werewolf, and then he killed his own wife, his mother everybody ignores him. They think he is mad, and imagining himself a werewolf, and his father. The most interesting scene, is in a medical classroom, where Del Toro is strapped down, in front of a huge audience of medical men, as the full moon approaches. The head doctor is going to prove that, right in front of them that Del Toro will not turn into a werewolf, it's all in his mind.Del Toro says, "I will kill all of you!" And as he turns into a werewolf before their eyes, and breaks free that is exactly what he does as his horrified audience seeks to flee.

That's one way to handle the medical profession, when they don't believe you; turn into a monster, and kill them. I wonder what that would do to medical insurance.

The climax where Del Toro goes to hunt down his father, Anthony Hopkins, who is the original sinner and werewolf, is a huge battle of werewolf against werewolf, to the death. Quite a plot! This is an excellent symbolic representation, of the child who is warped and turned into, say, per example, a rapist, a murderer, or a drug addict, or any number of perversions, maybe even a child molester, by his parent, cannot change, and seeks to get revenge on that parent who made him that way. Any of us could empathize with that situation, and hate that parent enough to kill. So we definitely understand Del Toro's rage.

In the end, the person who takes the most pity on Del Toro, in his werewolf shape, is his brothers ex fiancé, whom he now loves and who loves him. However, she has found out that there is no way to cure him, and as a gypsy says to her, "please give him rest!" there is no other way out for him. He recognizes her, does not kill her, and the poor woman has to kill him with a silver bullet.

Overall, this is an excellent werewolf movie, very beautifully done, lots of suspense and tension, and diabolical danger in the air. It is as dark and mysterious as any old werewolf movie, and wonderfully acted, photographed, and directed, and even the wardrobe is great. My version was very dark, but if you see this in the theater or get a good DVD copy, this is one of the best horror movies of contemporary creation, that I have seen in a long time.

Benico Del Toro was such a great Talbot, such a good actor, and so effective , he could easily have gotten an Academy award nomination.he really outdid himself, and Anthony Hopkins was a thoroughly despicable elderly werewolf. Ditto the rest of the cast. Altogether, a really great horror movie. ,

Letters to Juliet:a movie review.

Letters to Juliet, seems like a standard romance and comedy, except that, we have pushed the envelope here, on the significance of writing to dear Abby for romantic help, and then going ahead and doing what she says. The letters to Juliet, help to the lovelorn letters, that are all posted on the wall in Italy, are gathered up by a group of girls, and they all answer the letters themselves. A visiting girl, American finds this out, picks up one of the oldest letters that is 15 years old, decides to find the woman, Claire, and help her find out, who she knew when she was 15 years old, and did not marry because her parents disapproved.

Claire's joins the young girl writer, busybody, with Claire's grandson, and they all go searching together for the elusive Lorenzo of Claire's past. there are a lot of Lorenzo's, even with the last name the same, all over the region where she knew him, and it takes them traveling far and wide. In the meantime, the young girl writer gets to know the grandson, and they get along horribly, which means they really like each other. However, the girl writer is already engaged to someone else.

This could be an average romance, except that they do find the mysterious Lorenzo of Claire's past, accidentally, while stopping at a vineyard and winery vintners place. Sure enough, Claire and Lorenzo spot each other immediately and know each other, and fall in love again all over again. That's no problem; however, the young girl writer who is so drawn to Claire's grandson, resist the urge to get involved with him seriously, just as long ago, Claire did not stay with Lorenzo, and keep him the first time. She does almost make that mistake.

However, she finally gathers her wits and her real instincts, and realizes that she needs to have the guts to admit who she really loves, and if she didn't admit it, she would be making the mistake that Claire made many years ago. And look how that turned out! Then it gets predictable, and the girl writer and the grandson get together, and decide to take the serious plunge, because they really do love each other, and they don't want to make the mistake that Claire made many years ago.

If there is a moral to this story, and I don't know why there should be, it's just supposed to be a lovable warm and romantic movie, it is that nobody can really afford to ignore the really significant choices in their life, because they are scared to take the chance. It is not so easy to go back, and fix the mistake you made long ago. Most of us cannot do that so easily as Claire.

However, in reality, many of us do chicken out, get scared to take the big risk or chance, and go for it, what ever it is romance or career, and we settle for the safe route. That also includes, the safe person. This sounds contemptuous, but it's partly understandable that the human being is very in secure, and very much seeks deep security. So it is easy to assume that many of us could settle for the safe dependable reliable, and socially acceptable bland person, instead of the one who so risky, and whom we love very passionately. It's just the nature of the human being. Romantic movies aside.

Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

While the jokes were corny and at times tongue in cheek, it's what you would expect from a Michael Bay flick. The film delivers what it promised which was high action, great effects and new characters. The story drags a little, but remains adventurous. What the downfall of this film is also the downfall of all Michael Bay's films, the human factor is exceedingly useless and time consuming (see Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, etc). The second film's script felt rushed, and what charm and comedy the first had is lost and replaced with easy gimmicks for jokes. Despite negative reviews for the acting, the actors had little to work with and each returned with their character completely intact from the first. One could only dream that the next one will have Bay take over the effects and sound department and leave script and story direction to someone else.

St Trinian's relies on Rupert Everett's obvious zest at camping it up in dual roles to Colin Firth's straight man, and it is reasonable, bawdy fun in school tunics as it navigates to somewhat old fashioned English humour. There are some good ideas and a few laughs, but it's all a bit Camilla-one-note, as the unkempt schoolgirl horrors conspire to execute an audacious heist.

Everett's Camilla Fritton, sporting a blonde wig reminiscent of another Camilla, spits out lines through prominent teeth and indulges in 'me time' at the easel, brush in hand. 'Don't you think I make a remarkable queen?' she asks at one stagey moment, dressed as The Virgin Queen. Much of the film is unashamedly played for laughs with special emphasis on the scenes between Camilla and Colin Firth's stitched up education minister Geoffrey Thwaites. It is stretching the realms of possibility to believe that Camilla and Geoffrey were ever an item, but the concept is milked for all its worth. Yes, there is even a bedroom scene.

I like Gemma Arterton's head girl Kelly with Cleopatra hairstyle and scarlet lips and Talulah Riley's naïve new girl Annabelle (Everett also plays her snobbish art collector father), who makes the transition from wholesome victim to rowdy perpetrator with glee. Chaos reigns supreme at St Trinian's, where webcams hide in teddy bears, dog collars and hockey sticks, the chemistry lab is full of vodka and anger management classes teach shooting the heads of yellow duck targets. The film takes full flight during the heist with cute and clever filmic references and there's an underplayed cameo by Stephen Fry as the bored host of the School Challenge quiz. For the undemanding.

Overall it was a humerous movie for those who wanting comedy :)

This movie has sex appeal and thrill on the same screen, Scarlett Johannes is fierce, sexy and smart. Great movie for anyone to watch very interesting and fun with lots of action. love to watch the fight between both of his own suits and love when that guy makes that awesome new suit with the lightning whips loved it 10/10

GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS DOWNY JR WAS BEST CHOICE FOR TONY STARK THIS IS A MOVIE I CAN WATCH RITE AFTER ITS DONE .. WISH THE VILLIAN HAD MORE SCREEN TIME AND LIL MORE ABOUT HIS PAST, all action from begining to end i cant wait for the next one to come out . like to see a BACK IN THE DY "JUSTICE LEAGUE" MOVIE

This movie is as good as gets. Jam packed action ride through the whole movie. This is a must see movie for all ages. No one does it better than Tony Stark [Robert Downey Jr.]. Definately a 10/10. Every scene is action packed. This movie just sucks you in and makes you wish you were there.

WOW! This movie (at the near end) gave my heart a great pump!
It was realy scary and i thought they were all gonna DIE and not make it! This movie was great but i thought some scence were TOO boring! My rating of this movie would then be 999/1000!

Superhero movie sequek to the 2008 original. Stark, Robert Downey Jr., finally reveals that he is Ironman to the world. He is starting to get poisoned and starts to feel hopeless as the Senator, Gary Shandling, requests that Stark turn over his suit to the government for military purposes. Then comes the factory full of suits and the arch enemy, Mickey Rourke, who plays a real good rival, true to every superhero plot, and develops his own electrifying battle with Ironman. Good movie, not as good as the first one, but watch it until the very end, there may be more to come from Stark Enterprises.

What a great movie I think. It was action pack but could have been better. The story line could have had some improvement. But all in all it was good. Would have been cooler if Mickey Rourke had more lines and fight scenes. But not to spoil the movie if you haven't seen it the black dude should have died for being a douche.

yea the movie was good but I thought it would of been a little more extreme,the only part that had action to me was the race track event.I liked it didint love it.Very good acting by the way,yep the whole marvel view of a commic book.

This movie was ok for a sequel, but not outstanding. If there was more action and a greater plot it would have done a wonder. The actors and actress were however well preforming and kept me somewhat entertained for the duration of the movie. This is not a must watch but it will help you pass the time.

this movie was as expected great , however it may had some problems with the scripts that means some of the charcters may have spelled words wrong in some part of the movie , but the first movie wich is iron man 1 was suprisenly better then this one i was absolutly chocked when i've seen them both so diffrent

This movie keeps you on the edge from begging to end. Packed with action and good acting Robert Downey Jr. keeps us laughing and holding on too our seats. Great acting from all cast. Iron Man 2 is a great film. GREAT CGI, GREAT ACTING, GREAT ACTION. This is a must see on the big screen. Way to go MARVEL STUDIOS.
