Well, I'll be sure to take into serious consideration the opinion of a website that gave schmaltzy-garbage 'Miracle at St. Anna' an A when I watch 'Iron Man 2.'

barf? have you seen animal factory? rourke as a wise cracking cross dresser was hilarious. now rourke as an angry russian villian with that vaudeville accent is even funnier.

Maybe Favreau is the one who got confused because Iron Man is nothing like Nolan's Batman films. Not in tone, style, substance or anything.

kev, kev, kev: of course the first iron man wasn't trying to be like tdk. would be kind of hard since, oh, i dunno, it came out *before* tdk. however, favreau has stated that batman begins was a major influence on iron man, so . . .

maybe you got confused?

I can't believe people are invoking TDK when the original Iron Man was so clearly not trying to fit in that mould. But yeah, the "you complete me" is pretty terrible.

But Rourke + vague Eastern European accent = barf.

Seriously, Playlist. You think this trailer is "fine, good enough"?!?!? Where the fuck is your pulse?1?!? How do you not laugh and giggle at this trailer? Its just plain fun.
Are you that cynical? Is it that hard to smile at something this mainstream?

Judging by your top picks of the decade and your response to this extremely funny ad, I wonder if you suffer from camera obscurism. A rare disorder that afflicts critics who can only show life for movies with budgets less than $1.55 and an Arby's coupon.

A post-Dark Knight superhero sequel? I hope that doesn't mean it will have an entirely unnecessary scene set in a foreign country or a villain with improbable foresight.

It's probably an in-joke to the fact Cruise was originally cast in the role. The line "I'm here, get over it" when Rhodie walks into the courtroom (featured in comiccon footage) was another meta gag, commenting on the Terrence Howard thing.

Yeah, while i'm sure they think that's cute and funny, I winced.

"you complete me" is probably not the the most original one-liner to throw in your post-tdk superhero sequel.

I'm concerned as well for the excess of characters and a failing script. Personally, I think the casting of Johansson is wrong.

But, at the same time...

WAR MACHINE! YEAH!
