Last night, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
esrblog and I went to see "Iron Man 2".
Downey once again turns in a great performance as Tony Stark, and Scarlett Johansson demonstrates her expertise at playing hot babes with character. (Her character is also a genius with impressive martial arts chops, so it's no surprise that she raises Pepper's hackles, at least at first.) Let me also state for the record that I disagree with the critics who say that the script is too busy or that the movie isn't as good as the original "Iron Man". I think it was as good as the original, though it was more of a "drama with action" instead of being a mindless-mayhem-with-banter flick, as the original film was. Perhaps this disruption of the audience's expectations has something to do with why many critics were uncomfortable with the film.
I can't really say more than this without getting into serious spoiler country, so I won't, though I'll be happy to discuss my opinions about the film offline if anyone is interested.
