Last night I saw an extended preview for this movie due out in May. Wow...it looks totally amazing! There are lots of surprises from what I saw, and many great actors in it. Just from the few minutes of the preview I could tell that this movie will surpass Avatar in every way possible. Not only are the effects tenfold better than the original Iron Man, but the bad guys, the plot, and the overall production quality look like nothing I've seen before. Downey's "Sherlock Holmes" was a big box office flop last year, but after Iron Man 2 gets released, there will be no doubt about Downey's dominance at least in this genre. I cannot wait to see it!

The suitcase is actually an old comic/cartoon standby; usually we see Tony open the case, revealing just the helmet and gloves (which are all that would, realistically, fit in a briefcase), then the scene cuts away before the Inexplicable Iron Man shows up.

This version actually makes sense (though this version of the suit would have to be much lighter and thinner --an emergency-only measure).

Select to view spoiler:

You're gonna see hundreds of suits in this flick, suits of all types, and for all kinds of purposes.

"Like nothing you've seen before?" You sound like you're on the payroll.

I mean, it looks good and all, I agree - but the plot doesn't seem to break any new ground - the production design is just a continuation of what was done before. Saying it's like nothing before is hyperbole at it's worst. Or maybe you just havn't seen many movies or read many comics - because it looks like a LOT of stuff I've seen before.

Go ahead and hate Avatar if you like, I wasn't a huge fan myself - but to say the production design in this - which is just modern tech with a slight twist (most of which has been done in comics for decades) is more advanced than creating a whole new world.... makes it pretty damned hard to take you seriously.

Hell, you say Holmes was a flop - when it pulled in a sizable profit and had a sequel green-lit right away. Even basic facts seem to elude you.

I forgot your opinions are better than mine. Real sorry!

Now where did I say that? I'd surely like to see you point it out. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Simply pointing out incorrect facts and huge claims that don't hold water isn't saying my opinion is better. Heck, the only opinion I actually offered agreed with yours - IM2 looks good, and Avatar wasn't that good.

But "never seen before" is a bold claim, which is ridiculously easy to see it simply not true, that is, unless as I mentioned, you've seen almost no movies ever. Maybe you grew up in a cave, if so, my apologies.

Otherwise - Real sorry that applying rational thought is offensive to you.

Everything I wrote is an opinion. Everything you wrote is an opinion, in my opinion.
