Movie Trailer: Iron Man 2
Well, here it is. The first proper look at both Whiplash and War Machine. I think it’s safe to say that Iron Man 2 will deliver more of the slick, explosion-heavy popcorn fodder that the original brought by the bucketload.
I just hope they don’t pull a Spider-Man 3 / Batman & Robin and leave most of the characters undeveloped. With so much genuine acting talent on display here, it would be a shame if Iron Man 2 didn’t kick the comic adaptation genre into a much-needed higher gear.
Film Poster: Iron Man 2
A brand spanking new poster for Iron Man 2 has just been released, which shows Robert Downey Jr.‘s Iron Man back to back with his buddy-turned-nemesis-turned-oh-I-don’t-know, War Machine (played in the sequel by Don Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard for undisclosed reasons late last year).
I still don’t know how I feel about Cheadle playing War Machine. While I’m a big fan of his, thanks to movies such as Boogie Nights and Hotel Rwanda, I have doubts whether he can bring life to the Rhodey character in the same way as Howard did in the first film.
All the same, the first Iron Man was a great piece of popcorn fodder and I’m most definitely going to catch the sequel when it hits cinemas in May 2010.

Movie Trailer: Sherlock Holmes
Here’s a new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. There’s a little bit of new footage, edited to be heavier on action and with (slightly) less reliance on corny one-liners.
After watching it, I have to say the jury’s still out on whether it’ll be any good.
Will I go to see it either way? Most probably.

Film Poster: Sherlock Holmes
A new poster for Guy Ritchie‘s forthcoming Sherlock Holmes has just been released, giving us tantalising look at what to expect when it comes out on Christmas Day.
The film stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, but what I want to see more than anything else is for Mark Strong – who plays the film’s main baddie – to finally get the chance to show his centre-stage potential. This film has the potential to be great, if only Ritchie can resist the pointless moments of self-congratulation that have spoiled recent efforts such as RocknRolla
