I really, really, REALLY hope it isn't aliens. That's just been done to death.

I hope its either Hulk or de-goofified H.Y.D.R.A.

I actually really liked both recent Hulk films and would love to follow-up on the last scene of the last movie. And I'm a big Ed Norton fan.

If they play H.Y.D.R.A. as a powerful, high-tech terrorist organization (sort of like SD-6 from TV's ALIAS), it would be very cool. If they go with guys in green ski masks yelling, "Hail, Hydra!" I'm afraid it's going to be ten kinds of goofy.

I'd like to see Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man go toe-to-toe with Edward Norton's Hulk. And if I read the comics recently, especially with this whole Dark Reign, Seige, Doomwar going on it would mean that elements of HYDRA are indeed controlling the U.S. power structure behind closed doors.

I saw it at a midnight showing, the theater was very empty, and I was pleased. I guess many people don't bother to check if their local movie house has midnight debuts or maybe they are asleep by then.

I enjoyed the movie immensely. Mickey Rourke was very cool in his role (not as cool as Marv in Sin City, but I digress). I was surprised the showdown between Whiplash and Iron Man didn't last longer, but it was a job well done.

The racetrack/Bentley scene was my favorite, along with Tony's 'revelation' from his dad.

I'm pissed I missed the Avatar trailer on the big screen- as I walked in, I caught the ending! Damn you Nathan's hot dogs I had to wait in line for! *shakes fists*

I saw it. It was good but not great. To me it was about as good as the first one. It has a lot of buildup in between fights so its kind of slow.

Which is the better comic book movie: Iron Man II or Kick A**? By better, I mean which one holds more to the story and tone of the book. .
