Rewatched Iron Man yesterday. Gwyneth Paltrow can’t act. At all.

Saw it a second time and gotta say I enjoyed it even more. It still felt focused and tight while handling so many characters.

Yeah, let’s take a moment and talk about how they managed to at least do a little development on all the old characters while introducing a few new ones and hashing them out all in the span of about two hours without being boring. A lot of movies have struggled with fewer characters, let alone at least a dozen.

Yeah, Iron Man is a bit rough around the edges in some places. I thought she was okay as Pepper, but after they completely ruined her character (and threatened to ruin RDJ’s character) in Iron Man 2 and 3, I’m honestly kinda glad she hasn’t been back.

It’s worth watching for Sam Rockwell’s “Ex Wife” alone.

Actually, all of Sam Rockwell’s scenes are gold.

Not enough people read the EU.

A couple nights ago I decided to revisit Iron Man 2. I think I remembered it better than it actually is. I think the biggest problem with the film is that it juggles too many plot lines at once. Third act a bit underwhelming and a weak villian but all in all I still enjoy watching it.

Yeah, they split it between Hammer and Vanko a bit too much and at the end they both had unsatisfying conclusions for the characters. It’s not terrible, but it’s lacking. I thought IM3 was worse in a lot of ways.

He was excellent and I wish he’d been in more of the MCU films.

I’d really love to see the Armor Wars explored in the MCU, or Stark losing his company (would likely have to be to Hammer [which they should have done in some form in IM2, they kinda half-assed it in IM1 but it wasn’t as heavy as it could have been] or maybe Ezekiel Stane).

So … nobody commenting on the AoS finale? I thought it was really great until they did “that thing” in the last minutes 😦 Confusing as hell

Well I liked “that thing” and feel it let us know that the next season is going to be very very different in tone and direction. I’m also very excited that John Hannah is now a regular cast member.

I’m dying to watch the finale of AoS but I’m in a holding pattern with my roommate who I watch it with.

In other news:

Two-time Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Carol, “Cinderella”) joins Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok” as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, along with Jeff Goldblum (the upcoming “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Jurassic Park”) who joins the cast as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson (“Creed,” “Selma”) who will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban (“Star Trek” trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King”) who will add his might to the fray as Skurge.

Rounding out the cast for the film is three-time Oscar®-nominee Mark Ruffalo (“Spotlight,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “Foxcatcher”), reprising his role of Bruce Banner/the Hulk from “Marvel’s The Avengers” and Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

“The continuation of the epic Thor franchise will be powerful and unique, and with the additions of Cate, Jeff, Tessa, Karl, and Mark to the cast we have the makings of his most dangerous and heroic adventure yet,” said Producer Kevin Feige. “The sheer, raw talent each of these actors brings to the screen can’t be quantified. Having any one of them join the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be an honor, and having all of them is incredible."

Thor’s new cast members join returning stars Chris Hemsworth (“Rush,” “In the Heart of the Sea,” “Ghostbusters”) in the title role for the fifth time; Tom Hiddleston (“Crimson Peak,” “The Night Manager,” “Kong: Skull Island”) as Thor’s adversarial, adopted brother, Loki; Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Idris Elba (“The Dark Tower,” “Luther,” “Beasts of No Nation”) as the Asgardian sentry, Heimdall; and Academy Award®-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Nixon,” “Hitchcock”) again portraying Odin, Ruler of Asgard.

“Thor: Ragnarok,” the third installment of Marvel’s popular Norse Super Hero, is directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Taika Waititi (“Two Cars, One Night,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”). Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee.
