TRAILER SCORE: 8/10
MY THOUGHTS: Robert Downey Jr. is Mr. Blockbuster. On Christmas Day he'll have another huge film on his hands with Sherlock Holmes co-starring Jude Law. But we all know Iron Man put him on the map. No, not the acting map, he'd been there for years. I'll talking household name status. And now it's his second go round as the man in iron. What do I want? I want an enemy that isn't simply and over-sized version of Iron Man. I also want Downey to continue to be drinking and sarcastic as Mr. Stark. As for Don Cheadle replacing Terrence Howard. Yeah, I guess I don't care. Um, good lord, I forget Scarlet Johansson is showing up to play a sex pot ... over something. Plus, did you see the glimpse of Samuel L. Jackson? As for the plot, I'm pretty sure they are going the Rocky III path, with Stark not doing enough training. And do the kids even know who Garry Shandling is? Or is that cameo just for my benefit.
