Living in a testosterone-filled household like mine, with three teen sons and a partner who still thinks journeys to the comic book store are a great way to spend a saturday afternoon, it'd be virtually impossible to escape the excitement and conjecture over the imminent releases of the movie Iron Man two. Dinner conversations lately seem targeted around whether Iron Man or War Machine is the better superhero and whether James Rhodes ( alto ego of War Machine ) provided the moral compass so critical to restrain the indulgences of Tony stark throughout the years. Luckily , for me, time I have gotten used to these sorts of chats and occasionally even contribute to them. It helps that I am a Robert Downey Jr. Fan who really enjoyed the first Iron Man movie, special effects and all, regardless of whether I'm not a comic fan.
of course, the truly important query asked, not simply by my family, but by fans around the planet, is will the new Iron Man 2 movie will measure up to the original, which is an admitted family and fan favorite? With the return of the first cast and crew, most significantly Robert Downey Jr. As Tony stark, Gwynneth Paltrow as Pepper Pots, and of course director/writer Jon Favreau, the answer seems to be an unequivocal yes.
fresh trailers and poster releases appear to be driving comic book aficionados and casual fans alike into a frenzy of expectation. Of course, the addition of some prime quality talent to bring life to some new characters,eg Don Cheadle playing the very cool James Rhodes or War Machine ( replacing the originally cast Terrance Howard ), Samuel Jackson as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Nick fury, and even a spot for the comic, Gary Shandling as a frustrated senator, also should be a welcome addition to Iron Man 2 cast. For fans nervous about the casting of the bad guys, previews featuring a CGI reinforced, Ivan Vanko or Whiplash, and a slinky, sexy Scarlett Johansen as Black Widow guarantee to bring a whole other dimension of menace to the cast.
The director of Iron Man two, Jon Favreau, sticking with the original concept created in the fan and critic favorite original, Iron Man, continues to accept that the story should be personality driven, with the characters themselves powerful enough to not be overpowered by the dazzling computer effects. It shocked me to learn that marvel originally opposed the casting of Robert Downey Jr, as Tony sheer in the first film, since despite some past personal Problems I myself think he's one of the most gifted actors around and have been a very long time fan. Actually for me, without a doubt, Robert Downey Jr. Made Tony Stark a definitely plausible character in the 1st flick, and is the main reason I'm so excited for the releasing of Iron Man 2.
Personally, I presumed the director exhibited personal genius in creating strong advance buzz for the releasing of the follow up, with the appearance of the cast of Iron Man two at the Comic-Con world show back in July. It was here that he first convinced fans the sequel would stay true to the exciting tone set by the first - accomplished with a fun mix of electrifying visuals and an amusing, smart-alec quality with powerful acting, clever dialogue and good sound track.
The fan base at Comic-Con responded enthusiastically, loving the 5 minutes of screened action for the upcoming film, and the interplay of the cast, nearly half a year before the official trailers were released for public viewing, showing unbridled eagerness for the project. The buzz just keeps building. If the enthusiasm generated by the trailers is any suggestion, Iron Man two looks to be a bunch pleaser and the 1st hit of the summer.
