Feedback: What Did You Think of Iron Man 2? Dan Koelsch, May 8, 2010May 8, 2010 Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 74%, our own writer Iain gave it a C in his review, but we want to know what you think of Iron Man 2, which opened this weekend.

Cars Land Review June 14, 2012The Cars franchise has made Disney billions in dollars between various revenue from the films themselves and merchandising. So, it must have been a no-brainer for the Mouse House to greenlight Cars Land as part of the $1.1 billion expansion to Disney California Adventure (DCA). How does the experience measure… Read More
Ian’s Watchmen Review: The Clueless Man’s Review March 12, 2009February 21, 2010DISCLAIMER: I have NOT read the graphic novel, so please excuse my [almost guaranteed] stupid comments. Watchmen. Written by Alan Moore in 1985; heralded as one the best graphic novels of our time. A story so deep, so complex, so in-depth and so crazy, some said it couldn’t be filmed…. Read More
I thought the movie was as great as the first one overall. There were some parts which I thought probably could have been left out or generally changed. For instance, when Agent Romanov is fighting her way through Hammer Industries, she keeps awkwardly posing in front of the camera like she is desperate to convince you that she is good looking. That whole fight scene was really forced and made for a rude interruption for an otherwise fantastic movie. The action was there an even more heavy than in the first one, which I liked. I’ve heard (here) that the final fight scene had too much going on to recognize the different characters, but I didn’t have that problem at all. I think if there was anything wrong with that scene it was a little bit too short and seemed to cut itself off. But the laser addition to Iron Man’s suit was absolutely satisfying. Overall, the writing sometimes faltered with the more minor characters, but not enough to distract from the overall quality of the movie. It’s a Sherlock Holmes movie and I’m pretty much a sucker for those (which is why you’ll find me watching House every Monday). I was amazed with the movie and plan to see it many more times.
I’ve also seen it once so far, but that’s gonna change soon. For the most part, I agree with every thing that Jeremy said. While the action in IM2 is better, (the F-22 fight scene from the first movie withstanding),this one still does not have enough fight scenes, and the final battle was Awesome, but as many would agree, way to short. The much over-rated Scarlett Johanssen, had a dead,stuck-on-stupid, look on her face. Not only during her fight scene, ( which was “good” by the way ),but throughout all of her scenes. The reason she didn’t speak with a Russian accent, like she should have. Is probable because she doesn’t have the talent, like Rourke or RDJ. Overall I found the negative reviews to be down right misleading. My rating score? (9/10) (A) or (4 out of 5 stars). Take your pick, you can’t lose. KVS -(student film-maker).
