Kick Ass is not technically from Marvel. It belongs to an imprint from that company that specializes in adult comics, like in the same way Vertigo belongs to DC Comics, but they are treated as seperate entities.
Moving on, I watched Iron Man 2 last night with a buddy and here's a chock full of spoilers...
No... Not really, what's there to spoil if you've seen the trailer, you've pretty much seen the entire movie.
While the movie does ocassionaly have moments of pure awesome, the action scenes are very good, Robert Downey Jr. is great as always, the new Cody Rhodes is just sorta there, Black Widow kinda steals the show(you'll know what I mean when you see it), some of the jokes are great.
But even with that in mind, Iron Man 2 feels sorta underwhelming.
No offense to Mickey Rourke but as the main antagonist he was sorta just there, the script doesn't give him enough screen time to make him that big of a threat.
Which was kinda the flaw of the original movie, but in the sequel it's that more obvious.
Whiplash builds up some sense of foreboding conflict,but then he just vanishes into thin air for a good 30 minutes, so again we have to focus on Tony Stark's ego problems, not that there's anything wrong with that, since the audience connects with Stark's problems.
Not a bad movie, just not as good or as memorable as the original.
