IRON MAN 2

Hmm finally I get to write something about another comic book movie and this time around I finally get to see Iron Man 2 after being put off from buying it due to reviews.

To be honest I thought it was OK but what let it down for me were two things and one is despite the action at the end it felt very light on it until then. I felt it missed a action sequence/battle involving Iron Man!

Indeed that leads me onto the next thing I found irritating and that is the party scene which despite the interesting part of the story line where he his having these internal battles it was just a bit too much and a bit too far.

If that was edited down and an action scene was in it would have received an extra star than those it received.

Also there is another factor with Iron Man and maybe this is down to me just not being into him with the comics but at this point there has been two films and not a single identifiable bad guy for me.

In fact the bigger badder bad guys have been totally absent this far in the movies albeit with glimpses of them and this includes Galactus the Cloud, A Sentinels head and Thanos' mug for around 5 seconds at the end of Avengers.

I still hope for a proper Silver Surfer movie at some point and hope that if the studio that did the Fantastic Four films ARE going to reboot it and therefore hold onto the rights of the Silver Surfer but do nothing with it I will be madder than hell?!?! LMAO!

Indeed they need to do a better surfer and by that I mean sort out that rubbish they did in the movie about his board as well as what it looked like! There are no American's on Norin Radd's planet it is just an oblong board! With THREE LINES running down its centre.

COMIC BOOK FILM SERIES: IRON MAN

Now what a surprise this was and a film that I thought would not entertain me that much turned out to be one of the biggest and most entertaining films I had seen in quite awhile?!

The real bizarre thing is that I could not wait to see the second one but now have currently YET to see it?! This is kind of why I did this as I do find that some reviewers and critics are ... tossers for want of a better word. I was totally put off by reviews for Iron Man 2 when I should no better.

Why do critics INSIST on reviewing films that they are NOT interested in, in any way shape or form?! This is not going to end well. When I read a review of a comic book film I want to read a selection from real fans. From this some will be too anal and far too expectant and not realistic while it will be the other more forgiving types that make you realise a film is good.

Or perhaps maybe it just is crap?! LOL.

Maybe the casting for Iron Man and right across the board was just soo good that it was difficult to follow suit?!

Well I will found out before very long when I order it and find it strange that both Iron Man 2 and Thor are still commanding high prices.

Robert Downey Junior is absolutely ACE in this role and I for one would have lost my money on him not being a good choice for Tony Stark! Really I got that way wrong and am glad I did!

COMIC BOOK FILM SERIES: THE AVENGERS

The Avengers is a good place to start as I have a copy that is out of the ordinary and was only sold at a particular store.

Yet I bought it much later than I should and at a totally different store I now happen to be barred from for false allegations of swearing, abusive language and sarcasm based on somebody being a fat tub or lard arse?!?! LMAO!

This one with the segmented cover pictures was only available at Sainburys and it turned out to be special as it had TWO DISKS and lots of extras.

I would normally have bought this off Amazon but on the day of release there was a god almighty war going on that would put Loki's to shame?! Turned out that the film had 6 minutes of a fight scene cut, yes well of course you would do that in a comic book film you morons?! Added to this the lack of an extra disc was too much for fans to take...

...it went a little mental and when I saw droves and droves of one star out of five I thought what the feck is going on here? Then I discovered the above and saw people typing out comments like 'RIP-OFF' and 'TYPICAL OF DISNEY' and mentions of LUCAS ARTS too. This totally put me off especially when many were sending them back?!

Talked to a guy in HMV who had got a Steelbook version of this as I was looking at it and I mentioned this talk on Amazon and asked him what he knew of it? He told me he had bought one, grabbed the Steelbook Avengers i had in my hands and walked off to the counter. He did a check on his system and returned without the Avengers and said 'I don't believe it?! You are right! There is 6 minutes cut from the theatrical version?! I am bringing mine back!!' to which I burst out laughing...

...I spoke to him a week later and he decided to keep it!

By now the Sainburys one had sold out and they had no more of this type but I saw it in a Cash Converter type store and decided to buy it, four months after its release! I could not tell where the cut was in all honesty! Which was a surprise and I wonder if the European theatre release one was cut too?!

Oh you and to call it Avengers Assemble was STUPID!! Sounds like a Saturday morning kids show!

Loved the film and loved Mark Ruffalo as Banner but I did prefer the Hulk in the Incredible Hulk if I am honest.

Felt it was a hero light and I hated Hawkeye's costume.

Roll on the next one and I hope they have the Vision and the Scarlet Witch in it with decent outfits, lol.

Close to a perfect ten only in I wanted to see more of Thor as I loved his comics and probably to to do with the fact I have not seen HIS MOVIE YET?!
