Iron Man 2

Was actually better than I expected. It was a solid sophomore effort.

Things I liked:

-Tony still being an entitled, arrogant dick.

-The humor

-Natasha's fight (which was the most epic scene in the movie, seriously)

-Pepper seeing that both the secondary bad guy is arrested and that the innocent bystanders had a way to get home.

-That Pepper and Tony didn't get into a relationship until she wasn't working for him.

Things I didn't like:

-New Rhodney

-The fact that in most of those action scenes A FUCKTON of people would have died and that this was never mentioned.

-Pepper not doing as much in this movie.

-The pacing lag in the middle.

Also, I'm all caught up with The Vampire Diaries, and I have to admit, this show is so much fun to watch now that I have let my inner Damon/Elena shipper off her leash. Then I get to squee about him sitting on the couch so he can have her feet in his lap and her being his best/only friend and ~significant glances~ that they give each other over Stefan's shoulder. Also, I'm enjoying Bonnie playing her own game, even if her conversation with Caroline (who is still boring) was so incredibly wooden and blocky that I was almost laughing at the awkwardness of it. But I must say, I love the pacing of this show - that two episodes after he's introduced, we know who Elena's father is, the build up to Katherine's reappearance.

And really, what could be as awesome as Fury?

Seriously! I love when Tony is all, "Do I look at your eye or the patch?" Good times.

I know!

Such an assholish thing to say. So very Tony. And Fury handled it so well.
