Iron Man 2 is a very entertaining and action packed movie, its perfect for a summer blockbuster. It falls short of the original Iron Man, but its much better than many sequels from other films. I grew up loving Iron Man comics as a kid and I was worried that they wouldn’t make the movies like they did the comics, but they haven’t disappointed me yet.
Im very impressed by the actors in this film, not only is Robert Downy Jr. a great actor, but they also included Mickey Rourke who just won an Oscar for his role in The Wrestler. This was a gutsy move to star both of these actors in the same film because they are the only two actors in Hollywood that are uninsurable for films. So I give props to have enough guts to star both of these actors.
I wasn’t a fan of the CGI in the movie. It was very blurry at times and at moments it looked fake. The first Iron Man did a great job with the CGi so I am confused on why this one didn’t turn out as good. Im also wondering on why Iron Man 2 ignored the 3D effect. I think it would have made much more money if they would have released it in 3D. The only thing i can come up with is maybe they started making the sequel before 3D got big. But all in all this was a great movie, I highly recommend any Iron Man fan see it.
I came into this movie thinking it was going to be another bad remake of a classic horror film, but the new Nightmare on Elm Street is probably the scariest Freddy Kruger movie yet, and there are a lot of them. When I first saw the previews I thought it was going to be stupid because it wasn’t even the same Freddy, I’m still not over the fact that it’s not the same Freddy.
The filmmakers use of computer generated effects doesn’t help much, and makes a few of the scenes that should be scary look silly. At moments you would find yourself laughing historically at a scene where somebody is getting cut to death. For instance there was one scene where Freddy is trying to kill this girl in her sleep and he started spinning her in mid-air while he was thrashing her to death. I found this disturbing in many ways.
The use of punch lines in this film was way over used. Every time Freddy would kill somebody he would say a punch line that would make you laugh, it was like watching a gory stand up comedy. If I was a fan of the old Kruger movies I would be very upset about this movie. And don’t even get me started on the acting; I’ve seen better acting on soap operas.
I would not recommend the new Nightmare on Elm Street to anybody, yes there were a few jumpy parts, but if you’re looking for a good scary movie then this is definitely not it. I was laughing more than I was jumping. Please stop making remakes of classic horror films. There are enough Freddy movies already.
