Just came back from Iron Man 2 (possible spoilers)

I liked this movie for what it is-- fun, action packed, and full of robots and explosions.

I often get the impression that in today's culture, it's fashionable to rag on absolutely everything oh my God, and Iron Man 2 is sadly the latest victim of such behavior. ;/

Exactly.

If you want some super thought out story line, go watch a drama movie. An action movie has one goal and one goal only; entertainment.
So with that in mind, it was great.
 
I watched Iron Man 2 a couple days back. The movie was great, nice special effects. I really liked that movie and was one of the best I have seen of 2010 (so far). I hope the make another Iron Man movie with more action though. Some parts of the movie there was more talking instead of fighting, only some though.

Is this the age of measly justifications? I could've sworn this is the exact same (or something similar) line people used to defend transformers films, including the god awful second film in the series. Defend the films you like by pointing out the good points of the film, not the standards it's not supposed to live up to. And correct me if i'm wrong, but did I have anything any in my last post complaining about the lack of an incredibly "deep plot"? No, It was the lack of a decent plot period. And from what I heard, it didn't even have a script and they just tried to "improvise".

Lets be clear on something. If people found the movie disappointing and actually provided evidence to support why, you don't look at it as "being to tough". Thats almost like saying a school teacher is too tough on a student who doesn't study for a test and gets several wrong answers, strongly deserving of a failing grade. It's you disagreeing with the criticisms. And thats just fine. However, using statements such as "If you want some super thought out story line, go watch a drama movie." makes you look bitter about the fact that the movie got less than acceptable, especially when the majority of people who did critique it have never even implied that they wanted a deep plot. Same case with people who were upset with Twilight Princess getting an 8.8 from gamespot. It's just being bitter about the people who did not enjoy it as much as you did. That said, your post could be summed up as an accusation on people who did not like this movie.

@Bacon

That is exactly how our culture is. But that in no way means that Iron Man 2 should be cut slack just because.
 
Im not even going to read all of what you posted.

Transformers was a good movie and so was the sequel.
Iron Man was good an so was its sequel.

You can't compare the sequels at all. Iron Man 2 > Transformers 2 (including the whole movie, not just the effects, action, etc.). Although Iron Man 2 wasn't the best Superhero Sequel ever (definitely not like The Dark Knight), it was an alright movie that was decent. Transformers was just vomit lol.

dmaster out.
 
^What is everyone's issue with transformers?

Is it cause they tried to give it a storyline? Too cheezy for you? Not detailed enough? TOo detailed? What?

Thats about as good as it gets in terms of pure action.
 
Transformers sequel? If you liked that movie for a MOVIE then please leave this thread. That sums up Hollywood. It was just big climax, short end, stupid story. And just flaunting Megan Fox everywhere. Who paints a motorcycle like that??? I'm not gay, there's just a limit. It was sub-par and a huge let-down.

OMG! Sounds like Iron Man 2!!!
