And it’s a doozy. Lord, is it a doozy. “Iron Man 2″ looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun.
The first “Iron Man” was an incredibly fun superhero movie. Until the third act. At which point we had to believe The Dude turned into an evil gigantic robot, which was the least believably menacing super-villain in the history of super-villains. But Mickey Rourke doesn’t have that problem. Mickey Rourke was born to play a pissed-off super-villain. Like Tobey Maguire was built to play a bumbling creeper. Included is the media’s craze and enthusiasm for Tony Stark, followed by Rourke’s character, Whiplash, plotting in the dark. Glimpses of the Black Widow, Justin Hammer, and War Machine are also seen, and, in general, you should just watch it. It seems like it’ll be really good. Seriously. Not like a “Judge Dredd” sort of thing, where the preview is incredibly awesome, but the movie looks ridiculous, this seems solid through and through.
Hopefully. Mickey Rourke can laugh evilly. Hopefully, they won’t have him clutching a dog anywhere in the movie, as it will ruin his image.
This is my Christmas present to you, über-nerds. Enjoy it. Enjoy it well. For the word on everyone’s lips next year will be Iron Man.
