Chris Nolan he's not! He gave Marvel a big hit and he wanted the big money. Im sure he got it. That's called good business! Looking foward to the sequel.

We did a review of this film just recently over at the futilepodcast where we talked about our feelings on the pros and cons of the first film.

Losing Favreau for part 2 wouldn't be traumatic like losing Peter Jackson or Sam Raimi for part two of their multi-million dollar trilogies. You can tell a Raimi or Jackson film in a few seconds from their wholly unique methods of camera framing and movements. Those guys are auteurs. Favreau can tell a story and direct actors but is visually generic. “but I thought the action and effects were simply adequate”
