Iron man was great

Iron man 2 was the most disappointing thing of 2010. It had so much damn potential and they screwed it up as much as they got the first one right.

People that hear this complaint from me say "they were showing that they were going to do the avengers". Thats fine if its a very little here or there but IM2 was basically punching  you in the face that they were going to make it.

But Yes Iron man = Win

I enjoyed Iron Man 2 a great deal.  I never understood the hate for that.  But then again I love Spider Man 2.

I want to make clear I am not a fan of Spider Man as a character.  I rarely read his books (same with Supes) but with the exception of 3, I quite like Spidey on film.  Iron Man has had a way better translation, though.

Iron Man is awesome. I'm a fan of the second film too, actually. Got it for Christmas on Blu Ray

Listened to the comm along with the film. Can I just say, when Teague asked 'What is Quantum Leap?' I died a little inside, but when Brian sang the theme tune I smiled.

Ack! Iron Man fights another Iron Man?! That's what happened in the first two movies!

I love the idea of Jarvis controlling the suit, tho. I can imagine him operating it while Tony is unconscious inside it or flying it to Tony to save him.

Tony: Iron Man... you've... come to save me.
Jarvis: At your service, sir. [bows slightly]
Tony: You didn't bring fresh socks and underwear, by any chance, did you?
Jarvis: I'm filled with socks and underwear, sir.

Iron Man's weakness isn't other iron men; it's the fact that he has to put the suit on AND he's known (dumb move, coming out to the world...). The IM2 scene at the track is great for exploiting that, but I really didn't like the magic-jammies-in-a-briefcase gag. I know it's from the comics, but it's dumb. He should have had to run and hide like a normal guy.

The villain in IM3 needs to be a horrible mutant monster, in my opinion: man and his technology vs nature's worst case scenario.

The thing that always bothered me about super man is that he is practically invincible so there is nothing really at stake other then other people getting hurt which drops the tension. (for me at least)

Now Brian is my favorite!

Yeah, but you forget it's Spider-man 3 that sucks. Spider-man 2 is way better than the first one.

As for Iron Man: Love it. Iron Man 2: Like it a lot.

It's in the notes in the file, but I'd just like to reiterate something here.  Tony says that the mk1 chest-piece can generate 3 Gigajoules of energy per second, or 3 GJ/s.  1 J/s = 1 Watt, so the mk1 can generate 3 GW (that's what the hell a Gigawatt is), or about the same as this nuclear power plant in Belgium (I can only imagine what the mk2 chest-piece or the full sized arc reactor generate).

Imagine a fan fiction with an Iron Man / Back to the Future crossover; Doc invents the Flux Capacitor, Tony steals the idea, and uses the existing arc reactor technology to travel through time.  But Doc still has the Delorean, and finds Tony in time (so to speak), and has to steal the arc reactor to power it, so he can set things right.  Could work.

I'm glad we weren't having this conversation live on the show because the first thing I blurted out of my stupid mouth would have been "Is iron magnetic?" And then I would have sat there in shock once my brain realized what my mouth had just done.

Is that what he says? I have a memory from the movie (gotta re-watch) that he actually says something that makes no sense, like "3 gigawatts per second", whcih is nonsense because "watt" is power (energy over time) which is inherently a "per second" property itself.

What irks me most about this comment is when Jake lists his "least favourite superheroes" and lists all MY actual favorites from when I was a kid: Hulk and Fantastic Four. Wolverine I thought was ridiculous (partially coz we actually have wolverines in Sweden and know what lame little animals they are - the cool sounding name they have in English doesn't do them justice) and X-men was a mess.
