this was fun, thankfully didn't take itself too seriously. dumb as all get-out, obv.
paltrow should have taken a $2m paycut in exchange for not being placed next to scarlett in any shot imo.

need more discussion of how good rockwell and rourke were in this- particularly in their first scene together.
rockwell having a huge amount of fake tan on his hands during this scene was just cracking me up.

Rockwell is always good but Hammer was pretty much the opposite of an interesting villain.

rockwell having a huge amount of fake tan on his handsloved that! i will repeat that i also liked his obnoxious james brown shuffle during the expo.rockwell's villain was more of a small penis villain than an evil russian genius villain.

Hammer was the opposite of an interesting villain! that struck me as totally the point- he was rubbish, very much the anti-stark. rockwell played it p deftly imo.

if anything, rockwell's dance moves were far too cool for the part.
i thought the point was that he was a phony, hence the spray tan

i enjoyed watching scarlett savagely beating those anonymous security dudes tho

rockwell stole the show 4 me in this even if he was playing the same character as avatar
If Paltrow confined herself to supporting parts like this and Two Lovers I'd be totally happy.

His dance in the Charlie's Angels movie firmly secured his crushworthiness. He's been building on that ever since.

rockwell was def hilaire in this, great move to give Tony Stark a foil as comedy industrialist - more time for lols, less time for CGI robots punching each other

shouldnt rockwell be at that point where he should have an assistant or two apply all that fake tan to his person?

doesn't want anyone else to realise he's using fake tan

I love how seriously mickey rourke took playing his character
― retarded candle burning at both ends (dyao), Wednesday, 19 May 2010 01:47 (fourteen years ago) link
To prepare for his role as Ivan Vanko/Whiplash, Mickey Rourke paid a visit to Butyrka Prison, Moscow: "I tried to incorporate the whole Russian philosophy. It's a culture of its own and I really enjoyed doing the research and meeting the people and they were very gracious there at the prison." Rourke also recommended that half of Vanko's dialogue be in Russian, that he have a Slav accent, and that he keep a pet. ...According to Mickey Rourke, he carried out a lot of research in Russia choosing what tattoos Anton Vanko should carry on his body. He wanted authentic Russian tattoos, which would represent Vanko's Russian heritage, prison societies, and special clubs he might be in.

rourke was decent in this, just by the time he comes back for the final fight it's just... oh, right, he has to show up. oh, it's over already! ok.
you know i marked out for Rockwell in Moon as much as anybody but he was wasted on a really bad character here. also true for scarlett johannson's ass
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 03:18 (fourteen years ago) link
rourke lasted like FIVE SECONDS in the final fight, it was pathetic

At some point, Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke have to laugh about how well things have worked out for them. Fifteen years ago, would anyone have believed that Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke would be headlining one of the biggest movies of the year? If you'd said you were seeing something starring those two, people would've assumed you were going to the Betty Ford Clinic's performance of "The Producers".

The cast of smart alecks was a blessing.
Finally saw this. Original was wayyyy better but this at least avoided the huge dropoff where in the first one it was spectacular up until the final fight when it just became really dumb. Here the dumbness was a little more evenly spread out and the final fight, while pointless (those drones sure seem to go down easy, why doesn't he just shoot them all in the first place?) at least looked better and kept moving. Definitely wanted Rourke to get to do more, or alternately for his original plan (show Stark's vulnerability so other people finish his revenge for him) to actually go somewhere. Rockwell did a great job with his character but I wish that character had been on-screen less; he was SO annoying that the joy of watching the annoying guy get his take-down was sort of reduced. And he just gets led away by the cops? That's it?
Don't know what they're doing for the third one but I sort of hope this isn't the end of the alcohol storyline, which didn't really feel like a story in this one. It's less about Iron Man getting drunk and being a jackass once when he thinks he's gonna die, more about him being, you know, an alcoholic.
Overall, okay.
