    They have a real problem come the third movie since the only real villain they have left is Mandarin and that is quite a big story. Since IM3 wont be coming out supposedly until after the Avengers that is going to be hard to do any set up for. Maybe instead of the misplaced "I hate my father" (which was ridiculously forced and made no sense) storyline in this one they should have put in some lead up to Mandarin.
    I don't disagree. But, what's nice is after the Avengers they could do a film that is entirely Mandarin and Iron Man focused without all the "other stuff" going on. That could work. Or, they'll blow it like most of the 3's have been blown and make an X-Men or Spiderman 3 clown.

      Cough Dark Knight cough. Each sequel depends more on the crutch of brute force computer graphics. Call it the Michael Baysian Theorem of film production.

        Dark Knight was fantastic. It's why I think Mandarin/Iron Man 3 can be pulled off. Although, I give it about a 20% chance.

                I'm just saying, the second one would be even more painful, and yeah, I find it hard to imagine too.

                      Has anyone seen Taking Woodstock? the movie was solid I guess, but Emile Hirsch's character served no purpose, I don't understand why he was in the movie, it was just annoying.

                        I have it on my coffee table right now. Probably will watch it tomorrow.
                        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                          Taking Woodstock

                          Meh. I don't know what the hell it was supposed to be. Pretty much every documentary I've seen on Woodstock (and including the Woodstock movie) was more entertaining than this. Scattered, the main plot was glossed over, IMO, it just seemed randomly thrown together.

                          As for Emile's character, I guess maybe he was a voice of the main character: past, present, and future (what he was, what he is, and what is to become of him?). I don't know. No one seemed to have a purpose.

                          Skip it.

                              Yes it was.

                                I re-watched Iron Man last night, then saw 2 tonight. I liked 2 pretty much as well as the first. Fun movies, and great to watch.
