Iron Man 2

I went to see Iron Man 2 today at the cinema. I know this is a few weeks after most people that have seen it, although I was quite keen to see it having enjoyed the first film a lot and thinking the trailers looked good, a combination of going to Chester, going up to Scotland for a week and the friend I was going to see it with having to cancel

I watched Losers yesterday and it's good fun. There's a good chance it will be the best of the A-team themed movies coming out. Not sure if it's worth a cinema ticket though, you could enjoy it just as well on DVD.

The "premium" seats are a piss take. The prices are already extorionate and they expect you to pay more for the "best" seats? This is standard at Odeon but at least the chairs are more spacious/comfy and with individual arm-rests (none of that worrying of stealing someones cup holder). I still don't pay the extra for them though.

Iron Man 2 was very wise in keeping the focus on Tony Stark rather than the usual mistake of diluting the hero under villains/sidekicks.

I doubt I'll mind much if I do miss it at the cinema, but I might go to see it if I'm bored and don't have anything else to do sometime.

Hopefully that will continue in the rest of franchise - judging by past evidence it is the third film where dilution of the hero(s) can be really problematic (Spiderman 3, X-Men 3).
