Sleazy Mickey and Iron Man Too



Yes, Tonight we went to see "Iron Man 2" and a fun time was had by all-- almost. Let me say right off the top, It is hard too watch Mickey Rourke in anything. He is spooky, weird and sleazy! As David Letterman used to say: "Yikes-a-hooty!" He was strange in "The Wrestler" and he continues. He is the same guy in every movie, strange face, tattoos, tooth picks and all. he is a convincing bad guy.

The Second addition of Iron Man is more of the same. It is a comic book movie where there is mayhem in the city and it is implied that many get killed, but you see no one die. Robert Downey Jr. sort of plays himself. He is the cocky guy that takes nothing seriously while saving the world.

If you liked IM1, you will like IM2- to a point. There is a moment in all of these sci-fi, special effects movies when you go, "ok, I get it. You can make any scene that you can imagine. How about a great story?" If there is Iron Man 3, I won't go, just like I am through with Hulk, Spiderman, and the Fantastic 4. It gets old quick. Not to worry though. This movie introduces at least two other super heroes who will team up with Iron Man in the "Avengers" coming out in 2012. Samuel L Jackson, Scarlett Johansen, and probably Don Cheadle (the new Iron Man).

It is a good pop corn movie but you need Milk Duds also to survive Sleazy Man.

It give it **1/2 stars. 2010 movie#18
