Iron Man 2 Review

First thing that comes up when you google Iron Man is lame

Iron Man 2 was terrible. Horrendous. Atrocious. I can't describe my level of disappointment.....and it made 128 million dollars. The good news is I've learned a valuable lesson.

There are no more good movies that end with 2... or 3... or any number by itself.

Long gone are the days when some of the best movies were sequels. Rocky, Die Hard, Fletch and Beverly Hills Cop all spawned movies just as entertaining as the original. Content has taken such a backseat to special effects that we fool ourselves into thinking movies are better than they are. Effects cannot carry a sequel. I guarantee that Avatar 2 will be lame.

First thing that comes up when you google Avatar is gay

After suffering through this latest blockbuster cop-out, I'm ready to write of any sequel that is too lazy to at least come up with a sub-title. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Turtles in Time- these weren't great movies but they let you know what to expect. This at least gives unknowing fans a preview of what's to come. For example, if they'd called this movie Iron Man 2: Tony Stark's Mid-Life Crisis, I'd have had the better sense to avoid the movie. I would have just waited for Iron Man 3: Shit Blows Up.

First thing that comes up when you google Iron Man is stupid

So I ask you all to skip Iron Man 2. Save your money for more important things, like booze. And for those of you who've already seen it, I suggest you forget your frustration and focus on more important things, like booze.

I ain't going to lie- Rocky 2, Die Hard 2, Fletch 2, Beverly Hills Cop 2 are not some best of the best movies ever made, nor are they any of them even that good.

I disagree, those movies are great.. You are way off on this one Dutch. those first movies set up the 2nd ones. The way it should always be done.

DutchMasters said...

So the whole point of Die Hard is that John McClane needs some training in beating terrorists in case he has to take over an airport from terrorists some time in the future?

Not a single one of those movies was made with any thought of a sequel. They're all great original stories tarnished by trying to stretch the character. "Let's put Fletch in the South!"

They're all basically remakes- guess who's coming back to Beverly Hills to solve a crime?

DutchMasters said...

Also, I think Turtles in Time was a video game- however it was a very cool video game because you could throw the bad guys into the screen.

And BHC 2 was better than the original as well. the alphabet crimes plus the huge bitch that flav dated as the bad chic. so much better than the squat little man that ruins the buffett in the first one. Granted the shoot out at the end of the first was great, but the playboy mansion being brought in with Chris Rock as the valet just pushes 2 over the top.

The name of the ninja turtles movie you're talking about is TMNT III. It does not have a subtitle.

Bringing up Terminator 2 is a perfect example of why Avatar 2, if directed by James Cameron, will most likely be as good, if not better, than Avatar 1.

Fletch Lives- what part surpasses Fletch? The animated forest creatures sing-along? The first film is perfection. Fletch on the Lakers. "It's all ball bearings nowadays."

Beverly Hills Cop 2 is a violent action movie with half of the fun and humor of the first one. These movies are not about the bad guys- they're about Eddie Murphy wilding out. Eddie was on fire in the first movie- when the cops get him and the truck in the beginning- "It just stopped man!", the strip club. Give me Damon Wayans and the banana in the tailpipe, no homo, over Chris Rock.

Fletch and Beverly Hills Cop are classics. Their sequels, while still pretty good, are not.

It's no coincidence either that the music for both original movies was done by my man Harold Faltermeyer.

But we're arguing about opinions here. This is like me trying to tell the Zergies that Wolverine sucked.

Oh, what the Fuck. This is as bad as Lady Gaga. "Rocky 2, Die Hard 2, Fletch 2, Beverly Hills Cop 2-" Bad? Rocky 2, so cool Apollo Creed + you no longer have to watch Rocky be broke all the time like some homeless back ally boxing sensation. This is where 1 should have started bitch. BHC2- Taggard and Rosewood front and center on the Alphabet Crimes while Axel lives in a mansion? The Playboy Mansion with Chris Rock as a parking attendent; "I get $5 for cars, $10 for limos, wtf is this? 3 is even hysterical -Wonderworld and the gun with the microwave! Fletch 2, with the scene of him singing zippity do da? FUCK OFF. Have you ever seen Dolomite 2; the human tornado? The best sequel ever. All of these sequels were stand alone cinematic triumphs.

DutchMasters said...

You've got to be kidding me about how Rocky should have started. How do you even have the character Rocky if he's not fighting for his life?

And n***a please with Beverly Hills Cop 3.

All I'm saying is of all the sequels in the world that are better than the first movies, none of these are on that list.

Godfather 2, Empire Strikes Back, Toy Story 2, X-Men 2, Lord of the Rings- shoot Die Hard 3 is better than 2.
