Pop-Ed: Why Do I Care About 'Iron Man 2' So Much?

PRINTEmail ThisPop-Ed: Why Do we Care About 'Iron Man 2' So Much?
D'you guys have any thought how most flack we got for not digging 'Iron Man'? So much, is how much. But it was zero compared to what my friends will strike me with when they learn how psyched we am for a sequel, for reasons we can't make any clarity of. I'm forecasting a worse hazing than a time we finally paid for an iPod as well as had to desert a anti-iPod group we spearheaded upon Facebook, tail 'twixt legs.

Read because I'm psyched -- or how psyched we am with no real clue as to because -- after a jump.

Pop-Ed: Why Do we Care About 'Iron Man 2' So Much? See, nonetheless a expel is indisputably dynamite, I've never followed any of a players. we desired Rourke in 'The Wrestler' -- like, really desired -- but that's a infancy of my Rourkeology studies (I took a one-credit course in 'Sin City' Sciences). we didn't comprehend Scarlett Johansson was actually an interstellar supervixen until 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona.' we had a short Robert Downey Jr. proviso before rewatching 'Zodiac' as well as realizing which yet he rocks a smarmy charm, his range seems limited (barring 'Tropic Thunder'). And we have never thought twice about Gwyneth Paltrow.

So why, when we saw a Huffington Post's story about an 'Iron Man 2' press event, did we flip my s**t? Is it as simple as The Superficial's millionth might headline, ''Iron Man 2' Has Lots of Pretty People'? Did those voluptuous dresses as well as RDJ's overwhelming colored shades as well as overwhelming tan fit awesomely interconnected with sneakers send me off a 'Iron Man' deep-end?

I have no clue. All we know is, I'm unna! turally psyched for a supplement to a movie we was half hearted about in theaters as well as fell asleep during a DVD, as well as that's weird. we haven't ever enjoyed a superhero movie which didn't start with a "B" as well as end with an "-atman." And whilst 'Iron Man' is a different beast from 'The Dark Knight' altogether, we wouldn't mind carrying a single some-more comic book authorization to give a damn about.

If we really wrack a ol' brain, we can dissect my fad ... a bit. It's only ... Rourke's funny laser whips look so rad! And you could fashion a total Bingo card outta a A-listers in a cast! And a sharp trailers (I've watched a second a single a dozen times...) done my heart siphon as well as my head forget how tough we balance out as shortly as shiny CGI takes over a scene. And we overwhelmed upon realizing Scarlett Johansson's babeosity progressing -- but seriously, she is a fox, as well as this is a initial new movie I've cared about given comprehending said foxiness. The slew of honeyed 'Iron Man' toys upon my editor's desk doesn't help, either -- which sleek helmet (thanks much, Hasbro!) beckoning me to get my Tony Stark upon each time we walk by.


The Hollywood Reporter's early review was salty -- "It begins with a extraordinary clarity of panic. Characters speak during once. Hesitant story lines launch in all directions. Little happens until a big set-piece nearly 20 minutes in." And we can't contend I'm deterred. At all. Oh, we hold a review copiousness -- I'll probably pour a same complaints after we see it.

But for a subsequent couple weeks, I'm in a blind frenzy! I've got a fever, as well as a usually prescription is some-more Tony Stark/glowing things/Russian villains/punching/jumping/flying/blasting! I'm so jazzed, we can barely persevere any headspace to anticipating I'm not only being sucked in to a authorization hype usually to be squabble out unenthused as well as unconvinced a second time. But even if 'Iron Man 2' turns out to be another CGI-craz! y, formu laic romp, my fever will be cured. The charge will have passed. we won't get fooled again. Insert cliche of choice here. End rant.
