Last night, I was given the opportunity to attend an early screening of Iron Man 2, a film that I have been superexcited to see for many months now. Try as I did, I was not able to curtail my high hopes that the film would be as amazing as the first Iron Man film. It is my extreme pleasure to announce to all y’all that Iron Man 2 is a damn good film that I loved entirely:

Considering how good Iron Man was, this new sequel had a lot to live up to. I’m happy to report that all the fun, all the great superhero fun that we all love in the original film is also featured in this sequel. Because the film is still a couple of days from wide release here in the US, I do not want to spoil anything. I will say that this second film, as most follow-up sequels tend to be, is a bit darker than the first film but nowhere near so that it takes away from the enjoyment of the film. Tony Stark has a lot to deal with on his plate, more than just a new super villain out to destroy Iron Man, but Robert Downey, Jr. handles the character just as expertly as he did in Iron Man. RDJ‘s interplay with Gwyneth Paltrow (who plays the loveable Pepper Potts) is just so great … they make an amazing on-screen duo. Mickey Rourke does a great job as Ivan Vanko/Whiplash but Sam Rockwell (as Justin Hammer) really steals the show. He is such a hateful douchebag in this film, I really enjoyed loathing him thruout the entire film. If there is any weak player, it has to be Scarlett Johansson … but, honestly, she is not bad in this film at all. Of all the players, tho, she was my least fave.

The film teases an upcoming Marvel superhero film in the plot (it’s brief but very funny) and teases another film at the very end, after the credits finish rolling. I shant say a word about either spoiler but Marvel fans will rejoice, I assure you. I just loved this movie so much! It’s a worth follow-up to Iron Man and I am really looking forward to seeing it again.

David and I have something special planned to celebrate Cinco de Mayo tonight. After the jump, find out what we’re doing …

Today is a very exciting day for me … after many months of talking about it and the last few weeks getting amped up for it, tonight David and I will be attending an early preview screening of Iron Man 2!!!

To be honest, I’ve been trying not to think about it so that I don’t get too riled up. I was trying to just let the day come … and today’s the day. David and I are both very excited and very ready to see IM2! I still have a few things to take care of ahead of our trip to NYC this coming weekend but I sincerely doubt I’ll get anything done today. I will deffo share my thoughts on the film — in an unspoilerly way — tomorrow. Woot!! So excited.

With a little over a week left to go until the film opens in theaters, Iron Man 2 held its world premiere here in LA last night at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, CA. As you might expect, the main stars of IM2 were in attendance last night along with a few of their very famous friends. Here are a few photos from last night’s Iron Man 2 Hollywood premiere and some deets from Robert Downey, Jr. himself about what we can expect from this second installment of the Iron Man saga:

As a kid, Robert Downey Jr. never dressed up in superhero costumes. “Growing up? No,” says Downey Jr. “But in my mid-30s in Palm Springs right before an arrest? Yes. It was a premonition.” Although the actor is making light of his past struggles with drug abuse, what is no joke is Downey Jr’s success at resurrecting his acting career after overcoming a long addiction to heroin and cocaine. He made a stunning comeback as Tony Stark, an arrogant, hard drinking, wisecracking playboy engineer who also wrestles with his own personal demons in 2008′s big screen adaptation of the Marvel comic book series, “Iron Man.” Now, Downey Jr., 45, is back in “Iron Man 2″ along with plenty more action, characters and explosions. The film opens in much of Europe, Asia and Australia this week before hitting U.S. theaters on May 7. The parallels between Downey Jr. and Tony Stark were obvious in the original and are just as clear in the sequel. After five years of drug arrests culminating in a prison term in 2000, Downey Jr.’s return to Hollywood’s A-list post- “Iron Man” — including a Golden Globe award for his role in “Sherlock Holmes” — is not unlike Stark’s own rise in status after he reveals his dual identity as the armored superhero. “I think (Robert’s own success) informed the level of fame and resurgence that Tony Stark experiences since he announces that he’s Iron Man,” director Jon Favreau told reporters. In “Iron Man 2″, Stark himself is no longer making weapons — just saving the world and enjoying his rock star status. Except now the U.S. government insists that he hand over his superhero suit to the military. Stark refuses. Favreau likened the sequel to someone throwing another party after a successful first bash. “Iron Man” earned $585 million at worldwide box offices and the pressure was in making sure “this was going to be as fun or more fun than the last party,” he said. Putting together the sequel began soon after the first movie was released. With plenty of characters vying for a finite amount of screen time in the sequel, Favreau needed actors who could really “make an impression.” Gwyneth Paltrow is back as Pepper Potts, who Stark promotes from assistant to CEO of his Stark Industries. At the same time, Stark needs to solve the mystery behind new character, Russian villain Ivan Vanko, played by Mickey Rourke. Rounding out the new cast is Scarlett Johansson, sporting red hair as The Black Widow, and Sam Rockwell as weapons manufacturer Justin Hammer. Don Cheadle replaces Terrence Howard in the role of Lt. Col. James Rhodes. Rourke was enlisted to play Vanko (a.k.a Whiplash) as he was coming off his own career resurgence with Golden Globe and BAFTA best actor awards last year for “The Wrestler” … With this cast in place, Downey Jr. said he “felt a little bit like a co-manager of a baseball team that just got an even better line-up in the spring.”

And away we go. Now that the first premiere is in the can, the countdown is really underway for the release of Iron Man 2. As you may recall, IM2 was due to premiere in London first but due to the Icelandic volcano that has been disrupting European air travel, the first premiere was moved over here to LA. I suspect there will other premieres in NYC and London in the coming week … and then the film opens wide here in the US on May 7. I’ve been staying away from reading reviews so as not to spoil the film before I get to see it, but I’m hearing generally positive things about the sequel. I cannot wait to see this film for myself … I can hardly believe we are so close to its release.

The principal cast of Iron Man 2 assembled at The Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday to appear at a press photocall to promote their new film:

In addition to posing for this lovely group shot, the individual castmembers — Robert Downey, Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Gwyenth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), Don Cheadle (Lt. Col. James Rhodey Rhodes/War Machine), Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan), Mickey Rourke (Ivan Vanko/Whiplash) and Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow) — each obliged the assembled photographers for individual shots as well. Check out those photos after the jump …

Thought you’ve seen everything there is to see concerning promo materials for Iron Man 2? How about everything there is to see concerning promo materials for any movie, period? Well, until you’ve seen played with the Iron Man 2 Interactive Movie Trailer, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet:

Okay, so I know I said that I was gonna lay off the IM2 promo stuff because we’re so close to the film’s release but this is a fun online toy to play with … and it features no new scenes from the film that haven’t already been released. This is a very cool little gadget … enjoy!!

A whole new batch of promo photos from the upcoming sequel film Iron Man 2 has hit the Internets for our viewing pleasure. We are only WEEKS away from the film’s release and the promo materials keep coming at us fast and furious:

Just last Sunday we got to watch a 2 minute clip from the movie itself and just a couple days before that, we got to check out a few new IM2 promo posters and photos. After the jump, check out some pretty cool photos that features some good guys, a bad guy and Tony Stark‘s favorite lady …

Perhaps to celebrate the fun geekfest WonderCon in San Francisco, CA this weekend or mebbe in celebration of the much-hyped release of the Apple iPad, a new 2 minute clip from the heavily-anticipated sequel film Iron Man 2 has been released for our viewing pleasure. Which you can watch HERE:

Woot!! The more footage I see from IM2, the more convinced I become that this sequel is going to be just as fun as Iron Man was. The effects, the music, the humor … director Jon Favreau and actor Robert Downey, Jr. have really outdone themselves by bringing Iron Man to life on the big screen. While there are many movies I am really looking forward to seeing this year, I have to admit that Iron Man 2 is the one I’m most looking forward to seeing. This short 2 minute clip just further enhances that belief. May 7 can’t get here soon enough for me!!

The Iron Man 2 goodies just keep on comin’, y’all! On Wednesday we got to see the WonderCon exclusive poster of Black Widow (played by Scarlett Johansson) and today we get to see a slew of new photos and posters from the highly-anticipated sequel. First up, here is a batch of character promo pics of the second tier characters featured in Iron Man 2:

After launching “Iron Man 2″ official website, Paramount Pictures has updated the site with many new pictures. Beside featured in a number of production images, main characters such as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Pepper Potts, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Ivan Vanko/Whiplash are exposed individually in promo photos. After revealing that he is the man behind the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony is asked to share his technology. Unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces with Pepper and James “Rhodey” Rhodes at his side. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow reprise their roles as Tony and Pepper, while Don Cheadle is tapped to replace Terrence Howard as James. New characters Black Widow and Whiplash are portrayed by Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke respectively. Director Jon Favreau also stars as Hogan, Tony’s assistant. This “Iron Man” sequel is targeted for May 7 release in the U.S.

Personally, I’d take Pepper Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) over Black Widow any day, hands down … but, I guess there’s enough room for both ladies in this flick. In addition to these individual character promos (all of which you can find HERE at the official site), we also get to check out new posters of Iron Man and War Machine …

Check ‘em out after the jump …

Despite my fear that Scarlett Johansson is the ONE THING that can ruin what could be a truly awesome sequel, I present to you the newest Iron Man 2 promo poster for your viewing pleasure. This poster will be available for sale at WonderCon so … if this photo tickles your fancy, you might want to pick one up for your bedroom (ie. your parent’s basement) ;)

WonderCon has announced that you can pick up this mini-poster for Iron Man 2 this weekend in San Francisco at the convention’s Booth #242 (while supplies last – which, by looking at Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the poster, probably won’t be long!)

I am SOOOO excited to see Iron Man 2 and I really hope my fears about ScarJo are unfounded … but I’ll just have to reserve judgment until I can see the film and judge for myself. Thus far, everything I’ve seen from the film has impressed me but, then again, Scarlett‘s inclusion in the promo stuff has been very minimal. Still, she looks hot … which I’m sure the Iron Man fans will appreciate. What do YOU think … is this a poster you’d like to hang on your wall?

We are just a little over a month away from the release of the highly anticipated sequel film Iron Man 2 and, as you might expect, the promo materials are comin’ at us fast and furious. On Monday, we got to check out the latest movie trailer for the film along with a new poster release. Today, we learn about a new promo item that’s a bit different. Diesel will be selling a limited edition version of their fragrance Only the Brave themed for the release of Iron Man 2 … here is what it will look like:

With the huge success of Iron Man the movie and the excitement leading up to Iron Man 2 on May 7th, you can’t fault companies for wanting to merchandise. I’ve seen all sorts of things, from shirts, to frisbees (yes frisbees), to phone accessories with the Iron Man logo, colors and likeness all being sold to capitalize on what has become a very popular character even outside the regular comic buying community. What I didn’t expect to see however is limited edition Iron Man cologne from Diesel. Yup! That’s right, Diesel is releasing the latest edition of their “Only The Brave” fragrance, this time in a special Iron Man bottle and box. If you think about it it’s kind of perfect…how many comic book fans do you know who have an odor problem? This COULD BE the answer to smelly nerds everywhere and it’s an easy gift for the nerd who has everything. The fragrance will be available in stores in April for $67.50. We should talk a bit about the quality of the product though. The scent, is the same scent as all the previous editions of “Only The Brave” so essentially you’re buying this especially for the bottle and box, and sure it’s collectable but let’s really take a look shall we? The bottle is a red hand with gold detail wearing what looks like Diesel brass knuckles. Honestly this is a bit tacky and looks more like the D. Pooly variant cover from a few weeks ago than Iron Man. As for the box, any die hard fan can tell you that THAT’S NOT EVEN IRON MAN on the box…no, no, no, they instead put Iron Patriot on the box (for those not in the know, the current Identity of Norman Osborn, formerly Green Goblin). I can’t understand that decision. They can’t have been that stupid really, right? It must have been intentional, maybe because it’s a cool picture and they figured no one would notice, I really can’t say. All in all I think this is kind of ridiculous but if it gets convention hall air breathable than sure, I’m in. For those comic fans with a little less cash you’ll be happy to know this isn’t the only super hero themed fragrance on the market. Marvel previously released an entire line of superhero smells that you can find online for about $20 a bottle.

LOL!! This is just … no. Diesel doesn’t really market well to the comic book fan set, so I have no idea what the hell they were thinking with this idea. I suppose a few Diesel fans might pick up this version of Only the Brave but I doubt this will be a big money maker. As the article above states, why would you shell out almost $70 on a cologne when you can get an officially licensed fragrance like Captain America for much cheaper?

And, for that matter, do any dudes really want to smell like a comic book hero? It’s hard enough for Comic Book Guy-like dudes to get dates in the first place … can you imagine telling a woman that the fragrance you’re wearing is called Captain America? LMAO!! This just seems like such a bad idea all the way around … I mean … right?
