The ass-kicking superhero sequel Iron Man 2 opens and gives the Fat Guys a chance to talk about the kick-off of the summer movie season. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about awesome superhero sequels… which was a lot harder than they thought it would be.

The pressure was on. With the release of Iron Man in 2007, Marvel Studios and the universe created by director Jon Favreau turned the world of comic book movies upside down. With all eyes on the sequel, did they pull it off?

When you’re looking to cast one of the most successful Asian military minds, your first thought is Mickey Rourke, too, isn’t it?

Throughout the week, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have been slowly releasing little clips from their upcoming tentpole Iron Man 2. Most of them have been rather boring. Not this one, though.

As May 7 draws closer, it is safe to assume that we’ll be writing more and more about Iron Man 2. As was the case with the first Iron Man film in 2008, there was an epic marketing push down the stretch. It’s hard to ignore it as well, because everything we’re seeing from Iron Man 2 looks great. And we’re just as excited as you are, so we’ll keep bringing you the good stuff as it is released.

Earlier today, Paramount Pictures released their final press kit for Iron Man 2, and with it come a few brand new pictures. There are also some old pictures. All of them are in very high resolution, which I’m sure will interest some of our readers — as high resolution photos of everyone’s favorite badass tin can make for sweet desktop wallpapers. Amirite?

As we here at Reject HQ prepare to preview for you the must see movies of summer, we are ever-mindful of how necessary it is for us to include some of the smaller movies. You know, those scrappy little movies that might not make it into the mainstream spotlight. Like Iron Man 2.

Supposedly, Francis Ford Coppola made his final masterwork with Apocalypse Now. Then how do you explain this little slice of thug heaven?

In a manner of speaking, it is perfectly acceptable for someone like Tony Stark to upstage the Oscar ceremonies — it fits with his modus operandi perfectly. And while I will accept the fact that Tony Stark is a fictional character played by Robert Downey Jr. and the Academy Awards are very (mostly) real, the assessment still stands: this brand new Iron Man 2 trailer, which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live this evening, is far more exciting than the Oscars.

The question everyone has wanted to ask: is Mickey Rourke crusty enough to play crazy William Smith?

Can Momoa be our new Schwarzenegger? Can Nispel be our new John Milius?

Did you see RocknRolla and think to yourself, I like Toby Kebbell’s crazy Johnny Quid, but maybe Bill Murray would be a better choice?

Iron Man is back. And while I’m not exactly soiling myself over the first trailer for the sequel to Jon Favreau’s fantastic 2008 superhero flick, I am excited. And you should be, too.

Some days it doesn’t take much. In fact, when the news is slow here in the movie blogosphere, a trailer-for-a-trailer is all that you need to make a big splash, especially when it’s for a movie like Iron Man 2.

As a part of FSR’s Decade in Review I’ve been tasked with coming up a list of the most memorable, landmark performances since 2000.

Sure, the first poster for Iron Man 2 featured the film’s hero and his most badass buddy, War Machine. But these guys aren’t the only one’s bringing the hardware…

Sure, Avatar is the big movie of the month. The talk of the town, the bee’s knees. And Fox is licking their chops for a gigantic opening. But that won’t stop Paramount from stealing a bit of thunder by releasing promo material’s for next year’s summer opener, Iron Man 2.

The internet is alive this evening with chatter of a promotional reel for Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming star-mongering actioner The Expendables.

Stuntman Garret Warren spills some beans about his work with Mickey Rourke, the man behind the film’s villain, Whiplash. And the badass nature of Whiplash’s whips…

Want to know more about the villain in Iron Man 2? Well, hopefully you can read…
