Spoiler-Free Iron Man 2 Review
Although it's not out until May 7, brumgrunt sent us a spoiler-free review of Iron Man 2. The short verdict is that it's not as good as the last one, but considering how much acclaim was piled on that, I don't really think anyone was expecting that.
The Real Iron Man
Some of us avoid trailers.
Especially now, since it is tornado season.
/. says "Spoiler-free" First line of article says "spoiler-light." I'm glad they said that so I could stop reading and save myself the blind rage I would have been in.
That would have been great prep for going to see a Daredevil movie.

The only things in tfa that could be considered spoilers is the same data that one would get from the trailers.
Trailers aren't very indicative of what kind of movie you're going to get though. Link.

It says spoiler free in the title, but then the subtitle says "spoiler light". As we all know, "light" is a word that's not regulated by the FDA, so it's impossible to determine how much spoiler content actually exists in a review using that term, other than that it contains fewer spoiler than one marked "regular" or "full spoiler" or something of that nature.
1. Stark does what Stark does, flies around promoting Stark Expo. He works to keep Ironman away from the government.
2. Whiplash attacks Stark. Stark kicks the hell out of Whiplash using the portable in a case Ironman Suit
3. Natasha begins to work for Stark, and eventually steals a suit
4. Justin Hammer springs Whiplash from the French jail and gives him a job reverse engineering the stolen suit
5. The stolen suit becomes War Machine, and is given to Rhodes
6. Rhodes turns over War Machine to Stark which is given back to Rhodes
7. Justin Hammer and Whiplash create a bunch of automated Ironman suits
8. Warmachine and Ironman kill all the robots and work with SHIELD to take down Justin Hammer
9. Stark finds a replacement for his implant
Wallah.
Fuuuuu. There's a huge spoiler at the end of the 6th paragraph. :-(
Tony Stark is Iron Man ! OMG SPOILER!
There is this dude. He's kewl. Then there is this chick. She's hot in a quirky kind of way. Then there is this other dude. He's bad-ass. Then there is this smarmy guy who wants to exploit the bad-ass dude. The bad-ass dude eventually double crosses the smarmy guy and total fucks with the kewl dude. The hot-in-a-quirky-way chick gets caught in the middle. Then there is this other dude who isn't quite as kewl as the kewl dude who is like "dude!" and the other dude is like "no dude" but "dude!", They team up to fight bad-ass dude all the while the chick, the kewl dude, the not quite as kewl dude deal inbetween relentless violence deal with periodic moments of character development. Eventually kewl dude wins.
So was that a review of Iron Man 2, Robocop, Star Wars, Gone with the Wind, Star Ship Troopers, or Freddie vs. Jason?
Feel free to include any other films this review may cover....

You have lots of credibility, anonymous Internet troll! I'm going to not see Iron Man 2 so I can be smart and happy like you clearly are.

Hey buddy, ever hear of a SPOILER ALERT? You just ruined the whole review for me.

At least put up a Spoiler Alert before you do that. I was finally going to get around to watching Star Wars this weekend.
Bastard.
