Iron Man 2 Did you enjoy the fast-paced dialogue style of the film?

[terry78]

I know the first movie had it to an extent with Downey, but I did enjoy how it had a lot of blink and you'll miss it one-liners and comments from Hammer, Pepper and others. For some that rapid fire style of speak might have come off a little too smarmy, but it was basically what gave the movie its tone.

 

[Leenie]

The style of the dialogue in this film was a bit jarring the first time I saw it (especially some of the exchanges with Tony and Pepper), but it didn't feel that way at all during the second viewing. Strange, I know.

Anywho, I'm all right with it now.

 

[Spidey 2007]

Yes I did.

 

[nogap87]

It was almost but not quite annoying. Hammer's rants were awesome though.

 

[Superhero 101]

i liked it at certain parts of the film

 

[Immortalfire]

To a point, at the very least I could understand them. Unlike in Revenge Of The Fallen were I hardly understood anything they said in rapid succession.

 

[RaZaTrOn]

I think the fast-paced dialogue is what gives the film and the one before it's tone. It's very fresh and makes the whole thing a lot more realistic, at the end of the day we don't speak with a script and that is the kind of vibe they have achieved.

The first time I saw it I knew to expect that kind of dialogue so I wasn't thrown by it but it did make me listen more intently but I still didn't catch everything.

However the second time around I understood all the dialogue perfectly and it was awesome. Each little thing I heard was like an easter egg in itself for me.

Something's I caught second time around was the little part Tony says when he enters Pepper's office. 'Bambi isn't it?'. I just found it awesome how that is an easter egg yet they haven't highlighted it.

But to answer the question. Yes I enjoy it and I hope it continues.

Some of the Tony/Pepper dialogue got lost in the mix, but overall it was just smurfy.

 

[LightningFlash]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with quick, witty dialogue. I enjoyed the Stark/Hammer convos mostly in this film.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Yes. In fact, it is my favourite thing about both Iron Man films. Downey's Sherlock Holmes as well, for that matter.

 

[Doc Samson]

That quick, witty dialogue has been a hallmark of Downey's since he's been on the scene, in most cases. Also, it's something Favreau is quite adept at, so I think it's natural for them. In some instances, I felt it was a bit much, but it's just how RDJ really talks, which is why I thought he was the perfect man for Tony Starks from the very start, he's quirky by nature

 

[Travesty]

I enjoyed it a LOT. I really love the style of the IM movies.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with quick, witty dialogue. I enjoyed the Stark/Hammer convos mostly in this film.

Agreed.

 

[SurfDUI]

For me it kind of got tiresome. A. I new what to expect from Fav and RDJ.
B. I had a lot of visuals to even things out.

I feel that type of delivery is best when 1 or 2 characters wield it. Everyone was so sharp here except for Rourke...and his dad. I found no fault to it, but there wernt enough characters to play straight against the snappy patter IMO. I wanted Hammer to stay away from it more than he did, but he worked it, even at the expense of the character. Not his fault. Yes or no isay say yes.

Jon Favreau still has the stench of the movie 'Made' around him to me (like I matter, and after 2 Iron Man films, he's made up for it.) That movie was improv run amok, Every Vince Vaughn diatribe was more annoying than the last. I understand he wanted to capture the 'Swingers' rhythem, but that thing fell flat on its ass...and then Puffy showed up. :

 

[danoyse]

That was one of the things I loved about the movie.

I loved the scene between Tony and Pepper in the office. I can only imagine how many takes that took to finish.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think it could've been toned down in certain parts specifically the office room scene with Pepper and Tony. I think the tone of that dialogue should've been more how disappointed Pepper is with Tony and how angry she is at him and it should be a low point for Tony. Instead the scene just came off as incredibly light and you didn't get much sense of loss and anguish with Pepper and Tony. I didn't get the sense of Tony recognizing how much he hurt Pepper and let her down in that scene when Pepper is trying to represent her company and Bill O'Reilly and his ilk are bringing her down.

I mean a scene that got the emotion between the two much better for example I think was the jet scene where Tony serves her some food.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

Definetly loved it!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with quick, witty dialogue.

Unless it's coming from the Gilmore Girls. Whenever my wife watched that show the constant back and forth banter annoyed me so much I had to leave the room.
