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. Was it better than the original, or was there too much going on? Did you catch all the Marvel and viral references? Did you see it in IMAX? If so, how was it? Leave us a comment after the jump, where you can see the press conference the cast and director Jon Favreau gave earlier this week. Reviews FeedbackIron Man 2Review
Hobo With A Shotgun Review: Bold and Stupid Become The Same April 8, 2011Hobo With A Shotgun is currently available for rental on demand a month before it’s release date in theaters May 9th, much like Monsters did last year. Like before, I rented the movie early on so I can save you the trouble of choosing between waiting for the theater release,… Read More
“Let Me In” Review: Methodically Enchanting September 24, 2010October 18, 2011Overture and Hammer Film’s Let Me In is a diffferent take on the vampire subgenre that has become popular of late. The horror film, written and directed by Cloverfield‘s Matt Reeves, is a remake of the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In, which itself is an adapation of… Read More
Movie Review: “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas”, Leave Your Thinking Caps At Home And Enjoy The Ride November 4, 2011November 4, 2011As a “Harold & Kumar” fan, I’ll be the first to admit the series is very hit or miss. The first film will remain as my generation’s comedy classic, but the second film made little effort and left quite a bad taste in my mouth. It had it’s share of… 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).
