Though We Wouldn’t Die If They Didn’t Play Black Sabbath…
Let me say right up front that I don’t get the love for Robert Downey, Jr. I don’t think he’s a particularly good actor. So far as I can see, he’s done a good job playing some variant of himself in a variety of roles. However, he was brilliant in Iron Man (where he played himself with the rich and arrogant knobs turned to maximum) and, from the looks of this trailer, he’s going to be brilliant in the sequel.
Of coruse, it does help that he had some fantastic actors around him, as well as a strong script and a director who knew how to make a superhero movie. Marvel has a pretty good track record for finding those directors, even if they don’t hit it out of the park every time.
I’m looking forward to this one.

First day, new ears, but "Shoot to Thrill" is AC/DC.
Right at the end, there was all of one distorted guitar note of BS/IM.
Hey! Don't be putting down Sabbath.
I'm not putting them down. Just saying that it's kind of overplayed for this movie, don't you think?
I get it now: you were being sarcastic…one chord from the Sabbath song…I'm a little slow sometimes. You'll have to forgive me: I went to public schools in the '70s.
Heh. It just seems a bit uncreative. Maybe they could have done up a solid metal remake of the song, or drawn on some other Iron-based song, you know?
A remake is full surround sound would have worked very well. Ozzy still has the chops.
Too bad we can't marry the music of then with the tech of today.
