Anyone excited about Iron Man 2 coming out very soon?

[The Meek Geek]

Iron Man was awesome, Iron Man 2 looks great too!

Mickey Rourke as Whiplash! Wow! War Machine is in there, and the blond bombshell, what's her name? Anyway, her hair is dyed red to play Black Widow.

Looks exciting. Hope there's lots of fun comic book action going on.
I wonder if it will lead into The Hulk and The Avengers near then end?

My only quibbles so far, is the actor who is playing Tony's Partner. He's a really great actor,
don't get me wrong. I loved his role in Hotel Rwanda. I just feel, now this is just my personal view, Cuba Gooding Jr. could have filled the role better, he looks more like the previous guy.

Also, what happened to The Mandarin? He's like the Arch-Villian in the Iron Man Comic! What! Were they afraid to offend certain people because there is a villian named,

"The Mandarin" ?

What are your thoughts on this movie?
Opinions?

Scoop?

Don't worry, they're saving the Mandarin and Tony's fall to alcoholism for the third movie. They wouldn't have called the terrorist organization "the Ten Rings" if they didn't plan to bring the Mandarin eventually. The trickiest part to adapt will be his source of power I think. Ten magical rings found in a crashed alien spaceship is fine in comics where magic, aliens and superscience walked hand in hand for decades without people asking much questions, it might be harder to adapt on the big screen.

As for your question, I read 82 Iron Man issues in the last month and the first movie is aired for the entire month of December, of course I'm excited!

Should be good! The first one exceeded my expectations, I hope the 2nd can do the same

I agree with Mods.  I am not a fan of the comics, but my brother is a big fan.  We watched it at his place when it came out on DVD and he pointed out a LOT of little things I would have missed not being a fan of the books.  He was nerd-gasming about like I would be if they made movies from the Riftwar, Fire & Ice or Amber series of books    

It was a really good movie, and Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor when he is off the drugs.
