    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys IM2. I just watched it a couple months ago on Netflix streaming, and I really enjoyed it, just like I did when I saw in the theater.

    To each their own. I went into IM2, really looking forward to it and was really disappointed. Usually with superhero sequels, the second movie is where they really come into their own - as per the ones I listed before - now that all the origin business is out of the way. To me, IM2 had the messy, cluttered feeling of X3 and Spider-man 3 - but I actually enjoyed them more than it.

    These days the "origin business" can potentially give a film a huge boost. See: Iron Man 1, Batman Begins.

    ^ Yeah, but as against that, a movie has to devote maybe 3/4 an hour to showing how the hero gets to where he/ she is. Don't get me wrong, I love Begins, Spider-man, Iron Man etc. But very often the second movie, which can hit the ground running, is the better for not having to set down the origin.

    A bit of news on the production: The Missus and I went downtown last evening after work to get a look at things. One full block is closed, with a variety of wrecked vehicles and fake chunks of broken buildings lining the street itself. The art department has been busy, re-dressing storefronts to bear NYC names, phone numbers, ect.

    All in all, very cool, though deserted, of course - I'm still trying to verify which day they actually start shooting on 9th.

    Oh that was probably just Hulk figuring out where his keys went and then realizing he doesn't have a car.

    Based on what I read, I think that JD is right about an epic battle taking place.

    ^

    I'm guessing that it'll be even more dressed up by then. Looking forward to see some of your shots.

    Some new concept art of the Helicarrier and Quinjet have surfaced.

    Sweet...here I didn't think the Helicarrier would work in live action, but I was picturing the classic comics version....

    It is just concept art and not exactly how it will appear in the film...but it looks pretty sweet. That one in particular looks like an air battleship.

    There were good live action versions of helicarriers on Doctor Who and in the Sky Captain movie. So, I'm looking forward to what they came up with for the Avengers movie.

    I don't know how close that is to what appears in the comics, but I like it.
