Iron Man kicks Robin Hood's ass.


So. Over the weekend I went to see both Robin Hood and Iron Man 2. Hey, this is what you do when you can't sit on your couch and watch baseball because you aren't able to drink beer. Side note: baseball requires beer. Fact. But I digress... I saw both movies, and let me just say, Russell Crowe may look nice without his shirt on, it doesn't make up for the fact that he couldn't act his way on to a puppet show. He plays the same freaking character, in the same way in every single movie. I'm convinced that he just shows up to the set, reads lines he's phoned in from his hot tub in the Aussie outback. Now RDJ's Tony Stark? THAT'S A CHARACTER. That's ACTING. Maybe RDJ just has more life experiences to draw from. I guess years of self-abuse, jail time, waking up in random children's beds after a 3-day bender, this will happen. All I know, 10 minutes into Robin Hood, I'm looking at my phone to see when this mess will end. When the IM2 credits rolled, I wished there were 2 more hours of it.

    Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, and Ridley Scott. Forgive me if I don't take your word for it that R-to-the-Hood was less than good.

    And as for RDJ, he's absolutely perfect for the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man. I can't wait to see both movies.

    I can understand your mistrust, Tony loved Robin Hood, so you probably will too. I never really got into Robin Hood or those epic-style films. Dances with Wolves is another film that irks me, along with Mel Gibson. And Kevin Costner. Dislike them both. Add Tom Cruise to that list and you have three actors that I cannot stand to watch on screen.


    BTW, totally agree about RDJ/Tony Stark, now that's he's cast I can't imagine anyone else filling those shoes.
