We saw the film last night and most of the reviews I read before were right. I thought the first film was a perfect film in many ways. If you go into this one not expecting it to be as good as or better than the first...you will be alright. Most reviews have given it 2-1/2 to 3 stars and I think that is fair....it doesn't make it a bad film...it is another chapter in the world of IRON MAN. The film probably would have been better, if it focused on the heart and relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts and was less crowded BUT Tony and Pepper are still the likeable, well played characters in this one, with a bit too much going on. I like that they brought even more things into it from the original comic books such as Happy Hogan, Stark's suitcase complete with costume and his race driving skills. Director Favreau (ELF, SWINGERS) also attempted to bring in some heart with Tony's relationship with his departed father and the fact that Tony wasn't well during most of the film. The first film had such a strong villian base and several fun elements that this film was missing, that the comparison is not a good one BUT like I said, another chapter and they know what to shoot for in 3. 
Josh and I picked up the terrific NEW STP single today "Between the lines" at FYE....CD due out May 25th. The DELUXE edition will feature three live songs from the Chicago show we went to at the RIVIERA, including both songs from the single! VH-1 also filmed the RIVIERA show and will air it May 21st at 11pm! We met up with the drummer and bass player after the show...will be cool to see it on TV. STP will be on LETTERMAN CBS May 19th and JIMMY KIMMEL May 25th! TARGET will also have a CD/DVD version of the new CD!Friday, May 07, 2010
