I knew the movie was going to be full of action, but I was surprised at the intensity of it. It was a good story line, but I felt uncomfortable with the open and casual references to particular body parts. I would not want my 12 year old or younger listening to this. That said, as an adult I did think the movie was ok . Some parts of the movie seemed to be a bit long, but I survived.
I expected this movie to be "dark" as the first one was. I just didn't know how sadistically violent it was going to be. The scene where the Joker "makes the pencil disappear" was the beginning of a sad and senselessly violent movie. I thought this one should be rated R. I for one will not be buying the DVD when it is released.
I am not particularly a Robert Downey, Jr. fan, but this movie was excellent. Now that I have seen him in this movie, I couldn't imagine anyone else doing this. The movie was great. I enjoyed the action and the interchange between all the characters. The topic was current and the technology portrayed in the movie was great. I especially was fascinated by the computer holograph sequences. At times it was hard to tell "movie magic" from the real thing available today. I have taken friends and family back to see this moive several times. Great job to alll involved!
