ALL SCI-FI

A pretty good movie in many ways, but the thing that ruins it for me is the casting of Sam Rockwell as the billionaire industrialist arms dealer who's so dumb he couldn't pick his nose without poking himself in the eye.

Rockwell was magnificent in both "Galaxy Quest" and "Moon". The problem with his character in this movie is that he plays him exactly the way he played Guy Fleegman in "Galaxy Quest", only not so likable and funny.

The Russian bad guy was a little over the top, but not excessively so, and watching him get stomped by an Iron Men tag team in the climax was loads of fun.

And then of course there was Gwyneth Paltrow . . .

Nobody wants to discuss this movie?

Seriously? Shocked

I can't believe I didn't mention Scarlett Johansson! She was delicious in those tight black pants in an early scene —

__________ Tony Stark Meets Natasha Romanoff

__________

— and awesome in that black outfight when she kicked ass.

____ Iron Man 2: Scarlett Johansson Black Widow

__________

Come on guys! I have some reservations about it, but doesn't that make for the best discussions? Very Happy
