I wasn't really into the action by the end, either. It felt like they nerfed it because they felt they needed to end it a specific way. Overall, it's not bad, there are enough different parts throughout the 2-hour runtime to keep it entertaining, but it's definitely closer to a typical superhero flick than its predecessor.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Iron Man 2, dirigida por Jon Favreau, es una secuela ambiciosa que continúa la historia del carismático Tony Stark y su alter ego, Iron Man. Aunque la película es sin duda un festín visual y ofrece momentos emocionantes, sufre de ciertos aspectos que impiden que alcance todo su potencial.

El mayor acierto de Iron Man 2 radica en su reparto estelar. Robert Downey Jr. regresa una vez más como Tony Stark, y su actuación sigue siendo magnética y llena de carisma. Su capacidad para combinar el humor y la seriedad es impresionante, y su química con Gwyneth Paltrow, quien interpreta a Pepper Potts, es cautivadora. Además, Mickey Rourke brinda una actuación memorable como el villano Ivan Vanko, aportando una presencia amenazante y una historia de venganza personal.

La acción y los efectos visuales en Iron Man 2 son absolutamente deslumbrantes. Las escenas de combate están coreografiadas de manera brillante, y la armadura de Iron Man se presenta en todo su esplendor. La secuencia de la carrera de Mónaco es particularmente destacable, llena de emoción y adrenalina. Además, el diseño de producción y los efectos especiales hacen que el mundo de Iron Man cobre vida de manera impresionante, sumergiendo al espectador en un universo de alta tecnología.

Sin embargo, donde Iron Man 2 se queda corta es en su guion. A pesar de tener una trama intrigante, a veces parece estar abrumada por la cantidad de personajes y subtramas que se entrelazan. Esto da lugar a un ritmo desigual y a momentos en los que la película se siente sobrecargada. Algunos personajes secundarios, como Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) y Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), podrían haber sido más desarrollados para aprovechar su potencial.

Además, la resolución de la trama principal llega de manera un tanto apresurada, dejando algunas preguntas sin respuesta y sin explorar completamente el conflicto central. Esto deja al espectador con un cierto sabor agridulce, deseando haber tenido más tiempo para profundizar en ciertos aspectos de la historia.

A pesar de sus defectos, Iron Man 2 sigue siendo una película entretenida que ofrece un emocionante escapismo. La actuación carismática de Robert Downey Jr., la acción deslumbrante y los impresionantes efectos visuales son suficientes para mantener a los fanáticos de Marvel interesados y satisfechos. Aunque no alcanza las alturas de su predecesora, Iron Man 2 sigue siendo una buena adición al Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel y un paso necesario hacia el futuro.… Expand

All the while he continues to face issues with his own failing health and a US government intent on purchasing his technology.

The film loses much of the finesse that the first one had, and manages to squander Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke. Whiplash shouldn’t have been this movie’s villain; it would’ve been more entertaining to watch Tony spend two hours fighting the government for control over his tech, and the writers would probably still have found some way to get Natasha into the story. At least that way it would’ve made more sense as a sequel to Iron Man. The big actors, both new and familiar faces, do their best in their roles, and some of the fights are entertaining to watch, but all of that isn’t enough to keep this sequel afloat. Overall Iron Man 2 tries to add to and build on the MCU but succeeds more in taking away from it.… Expand

And since I really enjoyed Iron Man, IAfter the huge letdown that The Incredible Hulk was, my hopes of continuing to watch this franchise had a huge question mark over it. Obviously I knew the next movie was, once again, an Iron Man movie. And since I really enjoyed Iron Man, I was obviously going to like this one too. But the reviews and ratings were saying this is a horrible movie. So after I gave a view myself, the first question that came to my mind was - "So why does everyone hate it? This was awesome!".

Iron Man 2 takes places exactly from where Iron Man left off. And that's actually for the better since it doesn't have that "while you weren't watching our hero has done all this" BS. Many people, most specifically Justin Hammer, are questioning about Iron Man's ethics and morals, and as to how he decides whether something is right ot wrong. They are quickly squashed down over which they get deeply offended, as they deserve to be since such people only think about everything emotionally. The movie also has a cameo appearance of Elon Musk, showing the stark similarity (pun intended) between a fictional hero and a real life businessman.

The movie makes us see all the things that a world famous billionaire will have to face after becoming a superhero and still trying to live the same kind of life as he did before. He goes to the F1 racecar tournament, Ivan attacks him. He tries to party, Rhode stops him. No one sees the fact that he's literally dying. The Arc Reactor that he proudly wore and basically became a symbol of Iron Man is the same thing which is slowly killing him. Being the rich, spoilt brat that he is, he chooses to mess around because he knows he will not live long, and that's why he uses the suit to have a party, or drives in an F1 race. And in spite of being in such a big mess he never lets anyone around him, including himself, be serious about what is going through him.

The CGI of this movie is just as good, if not better, than the prequel. Every time I saw Iron Man and War Machine fly around and fight I always wonder how did they possibly shoot those scenes. Seeing Iron Man in the beginning of the movie jumping from the sky and landing in the expo is also very original, just like Iron Man eating a donut or partying wearing his suit. Robert Downey Jr's acting is also phenomenal. He looks like he perfectly enters the character every time he is out of his suit.

One thing I often see people complain about is that this movie has too many plots and thus it is hard to keep track of. I didn't feel any such thing. There was too much going on and yet I didn't even realise that until I was told about it. That's how nicely I believe it has strung all the plot points together. Another criticism that people give to this movie is that it feels like a filler to set up future MCU movies. This is kind of contradictory to the first complaint, and also that's literally what almost all MCU movies do. Cherrypicking this one is kind of hypocritical.

However, there are a couple of things I don't like about this movie. First of all the audio quality. Even at full volume most of the conversations are barely audible. I couldn't even listen to how Iron Man goes to the bathroom with the suit on. Secondly it introduced the MCU character I hate the most - Black Widow. Throughout the movie she kept doing the same thing I hate her for: She keeps doing somersaults and X-scissors and beats entire bunch of people without taking a single hit. I looked up on Wikipedia to check if plot armour is one of Black Widow's superpower, but it turns out it's not.

I'm gonna be honest here. I had forgotten this movie and only remembered the good parts. So I watched Cinemasins to write this review. And yet I can't be convinced that this is a bad movie. Look, I'm a simple man. I see Iron Man, I get excited. There's no loophole in this.… Expand

This movie has a lot going on, with tons of subplots and villains, and different ideas, but unfortunately it fails at balancing all of these and it creates a mess of a movie. The plot is very complex but super predictable at the same time. The tension between Tony and Whiplash is almost non-existent. We understand whiplashes motivation him, but his solution for this just doesn't make sense. In this movie by pure accident, he destroys a race car with tony in it, and then after losing to Iron Man badly goes to jail and then doesn't do anything until the end of the movie. I feel like more tension is necessary to fix this movie. So much of this movie is just people talking about the plot, and due to that action scenes are pretty rare despite the fact that the movie has multiple antagonists. I don't personally like this movie it ain't the worst superhero movie out there, but it's one of the weakest in the MCU. 4.25/10… Expand

Perhaps it's because, unlike most MCU films, it feels like characters are just living in this universe. They're not driven by plot or action, they're just caught up in the obstacles that come with living in a world of superheroes, even if Marvel was clearly still trying to figure out what that world would be like.

It's cool to see these characters just living their lives and dealing with their own personal problems while the villains deal with their own somewhere else. It makes for a somewhat uneventful story, but it sets it apart from other entries, both for better and worse.

As I mentiones earlier, the MCU was still very undefined. The introduction of Nick Fury (as more than a cameo) and Black Widow isn't the first attempt to expand the world of the movie beyond its central hero (The Incredible Hulk had a Tony Stark cameo and the Super soilder serum played a big part in the plot), but it is the first time they had the main hero interact with this wider world, and while it's definitely not done as gracefuly as in later films, it does makes the universe feel lived in.

Also, while I think that Scarlett Johansson is great as Black Widow (and that she's great here), she was definitely not as confident in the role as she would be in later films.

Overall, it's a step down from the first one, but one that I still ejoy quite a lot.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know you've done Tony Stark wrong when the script is focused more on building a universe early on rather than bring further development to Tony as a character. RDJ still impresses as Tony Stark/Iron Man, and the film does right by showing his more indulgent, egoistical side, but gets lost way too early in trying to establish a bigger universe. Way too many elements are introduced at once, from Black Widow, strong emphasis on the Avengers Initiative, introducing two villains to challenge Tony's moral compass, recasting James Rhodes and establishing War Machine, the list goes on. Overdeveloped would be the easiest way to describe Marvel's weakest link thus far.… Expand

As I previously said Iron Man is entertaining. This is due to the return of the many charismatic cast members from the original. Robert Downey Jr once again gives a stellar performance that is both compelling and funny. A nice addition to the film is Don Cheadle as James Rhodes. I still personally preferred Terrance Howard but Don Cheadle is still a very good James Rhodes, one I have come to love. Unfortunately where this film falls flat is its over abundance of story lines crammed into one film. Throughout he film there is literally over 6 storylines going on at once and it makes the movie feel very disjointed. The film also fails to provide us with a compelling villain. Whiplash is a very stale villain with barely any character development. Its really unfortunate because I quite like Mickey Rourke as an actor but sadly he was a real let down in this film. Though Mickey Rourke was disappointing there is one actor who I wished was used more in the film and that is Justin Hammer played by Sam Rockwell. He was the perfect foil for Tony Stark and that made him a very entertaining character to witness. I wished he was used more in the film but I was entertained by the minimal screen time he had. Another bonus is that the action in this film was definitely better then the first. The use of action in this film isn't amazing by any stretch of the imagination but Tony's use of new weaponry in his suit and the multiple Tony and Rhodey team ups were very entertaining. Overall Iron Man is an entertaining Marvel film but unfortunately crumbles under the pressure of too many plotlines.… Expand

It wasn’t crazy received then and still isn’t now I know it sounds like I’m trash talking this movie but I think it’s better then the first one as unpopular of an opinion that might be so overall I would still give this one a 6/10 but it’s a little better then the first… Expand

La película retoma el final de la anterior, Tony revalando ser Iron Man, y ahora él debe volver a lograr que su nueva invención no caiga en las manos de quienes quieren volverla un arma, ésta vez el ejercito de los Estados Unidos, y una firma rival que quiere replicarla.
Si la trama suena similar es porque no difiere mucho del primer Iron Man, aunque por suerte se mantienen los grandes efectos visuales y escenas de acción que destacaron a la original.
El gran pormenor vuelve a ser el villano, llamese Whiplash o Ivan Vanko la idea es la misma a la de Stane, un nemesis en un traje de Iron Man más grande. "Iron Man 2" es una secuela que apenas innova, se pueden destacar las escenas de acción pero no es esencial del Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel. Sólo recomendable para muy fans.… Expand

Iron Man 2 Favreau has the perfect comic timing. His revisit on this infamousAt this point, Downey is just having fun, and so do you as far he isn't serious, and when he does the clock unfortunately starts from zero only to tick backwards.

Iron Man 2

Favreau has the perfect comic timing. His revisit on this infamous character is surprisingly funny, passionately dark, yet funny. This underrated chapter of Downey in MCU is diplomatically cinematic and clearly way too mature for its audience. From pulling off a legal subpoena to creating a scenario without any written words (Downey annoyed at the spinning artifact at Paltrow's table), these things aren't encountered in a superhero flick and it is refreshing to see Jon Favreau, the director, extend his hand for the indie cards. But unfortunately, the day is sunny up till the last act arrives. With all the cards shown upfront, the climax is boiled down to a mind-numbing fist fight that has nothing but empty explosive punches in its hand.

The self-elected savior for the people and as Downey agrees once, "Narcissistic" persona, has an engaging and satisfying character development to offer and suffer through- which he still finds it correctly annoying. The new element discovering scene is equivalent to your usual training montage scene or a boy saved personally by his "sung" hero, these cheesy commercial scenes on the other hand often keeps undermining the standard of the film. Scarlett Johansson cloaking on first time, her tight leather suit has probably the dullest choreographed action scene in here, to be honest, at least Favreau packs a humorous punch.

Don Cheadle rebooting Downey's sidekick role is definitely an upgrade along with Gwyneth Paltrow who gets to say much more this time or at least she now can blatantly shut Tony up. Mickey Rourke as the baddie has his best moments with Sam Rockwell who is clearly a juicier antagonist than Rourke. And Robert Downey Jr. philosophizing his tin suit has another careful step taken, no matter how much unhealthy (Donuts) he eats. That very scene where a celebrity at its peak mollifies down to nothing is enough reason to take a peak at this aftermath titled Iron Man 2.… Expand

It has all the things first Iron Man film didn't have. And that's not necessarily a good thing. .
.

.
Good : RDJ is fantastic as Iron Man and Tony Stark. He has proven himself to be perfect choice in the role in multiple films now, and this is no exception. No matter how ridiculous the screenplay was, he is the last thing wrong with this film. Also, we get introduced to two new characters, Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff. Their introduction feels very apt for the first Avengers movie which came in 2012. Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johansson prove to be the perfect choices in the first go. RDJ has a very great chemistry with all the cast members. His sarcastic and a$$holey one liners are damn good. In the entertainment and performance level, there are no complaints. .
.
Mixed : Even though it was entertaining, it was a total mess. It had a ton of good ideas for a solo Iron Man film, but all of them do not coalesce together to form a solid plot of the film. The plotlines were good, but the final story did not turn out to be so good. I can appreciate what they tried but not what they did. It feels like a misfire. The arc they tried to give to Stark was quite good. But, the screenplay was ridiculous at many parts. We don't feel sorry, neither we sympathize him. Instead, he feels like a gigantic a$$hole, even though he was to be sympathized. .
.
Bad : It feels like an advertisement for Avengers, rather than an entertaining build up. Studio allowing a very short period of time for making this movie is quite apparent. Whiplash feels as if he would've been a really great villain, but due to ridiculous screenplay, he feels uninteresting. He had motives to stand against Stark, but in the end he feels like a slimy goofball who wants to kill Iron Man to show that he is tough. And the other villain, Justin Hammer, is a blant rival of Iron Man who is a kind of a pu$$y and just a clichéd villain. I loved Terrence Howard as War Machine. Don Cheadle sucks. When Howard was casted, I felt like I would get a War Machine solo some day, or at least be in a really good role other than being a sidekick to Iron Man. But with Cheadle, I felt that it would be better if they make him just a sidekick and luckily, that's the case till date. .
.
Conclusion : It's an entertaining mess. You will enjoy RDJ and his one liners, and, the overall charisma that everyone, except Cheadle, bring to the characters they play. But if you expect it to be a solid sequel, it ain't so. Whiplash feels like a wasted villain and Mickie Rourke feels like a wasted talent. He did fine with the material he was given to work with, but it never felt like he was necessary for the role. But the biggest issue would be that it feels like an advertisement of Avengers rather than a build up, and the plotlines not meshing together makes it a disappointment to a certain extent. .

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film was kind of a rehash of the first one with a few differences peppered in there. It featured yet another plot where a prisoner had to build weapons under heavy surveillance and was allowed to build something entirely different than what they asked him to build, which leads to Iron Man suits being built and chaos to ensue. Yawn. There are many suspensions of disbelief. How could Rhodey survive being inside a suit that was controlled by an external operator? Imagine your limbs and neck being jerked around in every which way without knowing which way they are going to go. Unless his superpower is being as limp as a rag doll, that would probably end with him looking like a car crash victim. This film didn't really bring any character development to the characters. They had to give Tony yet another dumb health-ailment related to his little heart reactor because I guess one wasn't enough. Pepper has the same frustrated relationship with Tony and then quits again at the end. And they finally stop being awkward and kiss, which doesn't even feel that exciting because their relationship is arguably not at all romantic and unrelatable. This movie is what Back to the Future 2 is to Back to the Future 1. Same script, different setting, a few tweaks to make it feel like something new. Marvel clearly did not feel like straying far from the formula with this film. Unless you're easy to entertain or a hardcore Marvel fanboy this film doesn't have much to offer. The race track action scene was the highlight of the film for this non-MCU fan. The other action scenes felt unnecessary (the party one) or unoriginal (the chaotic ending where despite all the chaos no civilian is ever harmed). Meh. When Iron Man needs a new element that doesn't even exist to power his suit, he just orders some crap in the mail and can magically create it in a few minutes based on some encrypted plans left by his father with no explanation of how his father discovered a new element. He even says "that was easy" in the movie after creating it, as if joking about it makes up for the lazy writing. This film was the worst of the MCU to me so far (watching in release order for the first time in preparation for Endgame). Here's hoping it's upward from here.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, Iron Man 2. It's not the most beloved Marvel movie ever. In fact, most people prefer to say it's not a good movie at all. They say it's boring, it's bland, it's uninspired. And I completely understand why some people would think that. *However*; I disagree. Don't get me wrong, there are aspects of this movie that could have been done better. It definetly doesn't hold a candle to the original Iron Man. But I still choose to believe that this movie has some charm. Even if Iron Man is only in the movie for twenty-two minutes. One of the biggest issues most people have with this film is it's villain, Whiplash. I completely understand this point, and I agree with it believe it or not. It is by far this movie's worst aspect. While his backstory is kind of understandable, as we get where he's coming from. Stark stealing his father's work, leaving them in a forgotten corner of Russia. That makes sense. However, the way he goes about his revenge is a little odd. Imagine you hated Tony Stark aka Iron Man, and you had his technology at your fingertips. What would you do with it? If the answer is make two electric whips, then you are wrong. But for some reason, that's what we see here. However, putting the villain aside, I think this movie does carry itself in a fun, lighthearted way, with the action being pretty good. I particularly enjoy the racecar scene, where Tony has to put on the Iron Man suit from the briefcase. And of course, the scene in the dome with Iron Man and Rhodes/War Machine fighting off all the drone Iron Man suits designed by Justin Hammer and Whiplash is absolutely superb. ~~It's a shame it's only about a minute long...~~ Not only that, but this is the movie that introduced the world to Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, who is one of the core Marvel characters at this time. We get to see Don Cheadle take on the role of War Machine following the departure of Terrance Howard. This might just be me, but I far prefer Don Cheadle's portayal of Rhodes to Howard's. And this was the first film where Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury really started to shape the Marvel Cinematic Universe, showing up in the actual film rather than just an end credit scene. Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow return as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Pepper Potts, and both are fantastic as always. And lest we forget the return of Clark Greg's Phil Coulson, every one's favorite cameo. The cast is fantastic, and how could they not be?
There are of course a few lulls in the movie. The pacing isn't great, and it really kills the flow of everything. The who Paladium poisoning in Tony's arc reactor is what most complaints are about when it comes to this film, and yeah, I get that. It feels really out of place and slows down the movie almost to a standstill. However, that isn't enough to kill the movie for me. I still think this movie is a classic to stand beside all the rest of the MCU, and deserves it's place among the greats. Thank you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Der eiserne Mann geht in die zweite Runde!
Dieses Mal muss sich Tony Stark nicht nur mit neuen Bösewichten herumschlagen, sondern auch, ein Kampf mit sich selber.
Denn sein mechanisches Herz frisst ihn, sprichwörtlich, von innen aus.
Man merkt hier schon, dass es in diese Abenteuer Persönlich für ihn wird. Nicht nur dass ein Waffentechnischer Konkurrent seinen Posten streitig machen will, sondern auch ein verlorener russischer Sohn, der sein Vermächtnis zerstören will.
Zum Glück gibt es hier, mehr oder weniger, die gleichen Schauspieler, wie in seinem Vorgänger.
Downey, Jr. Geniesst es förmlich wieder, die Rolle des exzentrischen Stark zu spielen.
Leider kommen die Gaststars zu kurz: Sam Rockwell und Mickey Rourke haben zwar interessante Rollen als Gegenspieler, bleiben aber schwach in der Performance. Paltrow sieht eher genervt aus, anstatt ihre Rolle zu geniessen. Wegen Techtelmechtel im ersten Teil, wurde Terrence Howard mit Don Cheadle ausgetauscht. Am meisten kann hier in diesem Film Scarlett Johansson profitieren. Am meisten haben sicher die Männer Freude, bei ihrem Auftreten. Vor allem wenn sie ihre Kampfuniform an hat!
Die Effekte sind sehr gut und der Film ist Unterhaltsam. Es gelingt dem Film zwischen Action und Humor einzuhalten. Leider kommt das Persönliche Drama zu kurz. Das ist typisch für eine Comicverfilmung: Es muss unterhalten, nicht dramatisieren! Dabei wäre es Cool gewesen, wenn Stark mit seinem verstorbenen Vater ringt und wie er sich im Leben sieht, kurz vor dem Abtreten.
Fazit: Gut gemachtes Abenteuer, dass leider nur Oberflächlich bleibt. Die Charakteren bleiben im Schatten von Robert Downey, Jr.!… Expand

With same abilities of previous, now showing an Anthony Stark fragile, dying, acting as a manchild, facing new and dangerous foes. The sequence of action makes worthwhile the effort of watching with a bag of popcorn.

Sequels to movie blockbusters are always risky because there's a severely high chance that the sequel will always suck or be nowhere near as good as the first. With an amazing film like 'Iron Man', this thought went through everyone's heads.Sequels to movie blockbusters are always risky because there's a severely high chance that the sequel will always suck or be nowhere near as good as the first. With an amazing film like 'Iron Man', this thought went through everyone's heads. And they were right. 'Iron Man 2' is a good film, but it doesn't live up to its predecessor, and it's the weakest of the trilogy. Taking place 6 months after the first film, Tony Stark is dealing with his future demise from the palladium in his arc reactor and the government trying to take his suits away. At the same time, Russian scientist Ivan Vanko is seeking revenge on Stark to pay for what his father did to his family. As I said, 'Iron Man 2' is a good film, but it's not great.

The performances are decent, particularly Robert Downey Jr. Tony Stark isn't much different from the previous film, which isn't a bad thing. He's still comedic and entertaining to watch on screen. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), now the CEO of Stark Industries, is more annoying in this film than in the first 'Iron Man' film. She's a more irritable character, and part of the reason I think that is is because she has a higher position and becomes more frustrating because of it. Don Cheadle has a surprising take on Rhodey that I enjoyed. I didn't know anything about his character before the first film, but he was entertaining to watch. This was also the introduction of War Machine, which was teased in 'Iron Man', and he was just as badass as Iron Man in this film. The introduction of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was also interesting. I didn't expect to see her character in the film mainly because I didn't think her introduction would have been in an Iron Man film. But she was very fun to watch, particularly because of the Hammer Industries fight scene during the Battle at Stark Expo. The characters/performances I didn't enjoy included Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko/Whiplash. Hammer (Sam Rockwell) was a similar but very different character from Samuel Sterns in 'The Incredible Hulk'. Like Sterns, Hammer is very annoying, and the way Sam Rockwell delivers his lines is pretty unbearable to listen to. And watching him dance during his presentation at Stark Expo makes me cringe every time. He's an incredibly socially awkward character, and it's not a very good portrayal. While Mickey Rourke gives a better performance as Whiplash (mainly because he doesn't speak a whole lot), he's not a very good villain. While his abilities are cool, that's really all there is to him. You feel no sympathy for his character at all. The best villains are one you can sympathize with. There isn't much to say about Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) or Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) because they weren't in it that long, which is disappointing because I really enjoy their characters. And I like Happy Hogan, so even though he had larger roles in 'Iron Man 3' and 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', I wish there was more for him to do in this film than ram a car into Whiplash several times.

As for the action sequences and visual effects, they're just as good as the first film if not better. The Battle of Stark Expo was a great final battle that was fast-paced and easy to follow.

The music score is decent, particularly Whiplash's theme, but out of the Iron Man trilogy, it's the weakest. The score isn't memorable, and it's disappointing that Marvel Studios doesn't seem to like thematic continuity.

I think my main issue with this film is some of the new characters like Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko. They're not very fun characters to watch, and they don't get to deliver any really good lines, which is very important for villains to do.… Expand

I always hesitate when I think about worst MCU movie not including Inhumans. I loved this movie's credit scene, but that's all. It's not a messy movie, but it's average movie that you can see every day.

A let down compared to the first Iron Man but it's not terrible. There are some genuinely good moments in the movie. Still, sadly, Iron Man 2 has a bit of a villain problem. Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) is almost the same villain as Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) from the first Iron Man. In powers and the way they affect Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) they are almost equal. The CGI was improved though. Iron Man 2 is a solid entry in the MCU.… Expand

This is one of the weakest entries in the MCU unfortunately. I feel like it hasn't aged well either, being overshadowed by a lot of the other movies. Robert Downey Jr. is as expected, tremendous in his role, but the plot lets this movie down.This is one of the weakest entries in the MCU unfortunately.
