When you come out to a screaming crowd with Black Sabbath’s "Iron Man" as your intro tune, you’d better deliver the goods.
Jon Favreau didn’t do that.
What he did — after telling the crowd that Comic-Con is where, in 2007, "Iron Man’s" success started — is show a lame promo reel for "Iron Man 2" that wouldn’t pass muster on public-access TV.
Of course, it was all a set-up.
Doing a good cop/bad cop routine, star Robert Downey Jr. burst out on stage and got in Favreau’s face, claiming that the director was short-changing the fans he had just praised.
