I thought it was a decent documentary on Mike Tyson. I think it does a good job of forcing the viewer to ponder what Tyson's life would have been like if Cus D'amato had not died so early in Tyson's career.

The story was not as strong as the original. Stark's health angle could've been a stronger angle, but it was glossed over most of the film.
Robert Downey Jr. was made for Tony Stark/Iron Man and didn't disappoint. Gwyneth Paltrow was limited by the bustle of everything else happening, but she was solid as well.
On the other hand, Sam Rockwell's portrayal of Justin Hammer as a rich doofus wasn't necessary in my opinion. I love Don Cheadle, but truthfully, Terrence Howard could have easily done as much with War Machine as he did.
Mickey Rourke was menacing enough, but an extra 20 or so minutes of face time could've helped. Samuel L. Jackson is doing a great job of tying Marvel movies together, but that's about it.
Oddly enough, the actor I was most impressed with was Scarlett Johansson. Every since I saw the first preview with her in it, I wanted to see if she could pull off the Black Widow. She NAILED it. Her fight choreography was perfect. And I really appreciate that they did not modify her costume and weaponery very much from what it looks like in paperback (or at least what it used to look like when I was still buying comics full-time).
All-in-all, it was a good sequel with could've been better. As always, it's great to see the guy who started it all in these Marvel movies. "Larry King"
Time for a new avatar. Gotta scout some new movie previews.
"Incredible 4".Bob Sacamano;3396434 said:I really liked Downey in Sherlock Holmes, but in the Iron Man films, I just don't find anything to like about him. He's just a rich wiseass pretty much.
And I hate in every sequel like the Incredible 4 and the Silver Surfer and Iron Man 2 where the superheroes become massive celebrities. It's just too lame and an indictment of today's society as a whole, where people with talent feel like they deserve all this attention and adulation. It's kind of why I like Batman and Superman. They just do their job and don't look for any due for keeping the city/world safe.
DallasEast;3396531 said:"Incredible 4".
The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel have secret identities. Their characters wanted their anonymity intact so that they could enjoy private lives. Additionally, they wanted to shield their loved ones from possible enemy retaliation.
Years ago, Marvel allowed Tony Stark to enjoy a secret identity, but that's obviously changed in recent years. That, along with his character's narcissism fueled by a billionaire's lifestyle, was a perfect match for even more celebrity than he already enjoyed and welcomed.
The Fantastic Four's powers began to manifest almost immediately after a well-publicized space launch. There was a fat chance of retaining secret identities after that.
Galactus' herald is a fictional cosmic being. Why would the Silver Surfer care about the attentions directed at him by mortals?
