"Iron Man" also brought back to life the fledgling career of Robert Downey Jr. Shooting him straight to the top of superstar status after "Iron Man" finished it's run in theaters everyone had one question on there minds, when is the sequel coming out?

This is a very good movie. I don't think it has the great story of the first one. But I'm going to say it's better just because this one has more fight scenes and is more exciting.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Iron Man for me was something I was looking forward to, but I wasn't necessarily jazzed about it. It was a pretty good though, and it actually might be my 2nd best comic book origin film, next to X Men First Class. So going into this sequel to Iron Man, I kind of felt the same way, I was looking forward to it, but I wasn't super stoked about it. But let me tell you, I think you might be somewhat shocked about this, but I think Iron Man 2 is actually a bit better than Iron Man. I won't say everything that is better than Iron Man, but I will say parts in the middle of Iron Man dragged for me. Not that the movie was too long, but for some reason it dragged in the middle for me. Now getting on with Iron Man 2, Tony Stark in this sequel haves three main things going against him. The government wants Tony's suit, Tony's health condition is getting worse, and than there's a mysterious man that seems to feel wronged by Tony's actions from the 1st movie. As far as the villians in this movie, I feel Mickey Rourke as the villian in this movie is the strongest performance just behind Robert Downey Jr. This time there seems to be less action in this one. The plot though is good and there's good character development. The cgi and action in this is great. The only real flaw in the movie is I thought Ivan Vanko could have used a few scenes in the middle of the film. Also the last encouter when Ivan uses his ultra suit at the end, went a bit too fast. Overall I thought this movie was great and funny. Compared to Iron Man, I give that an 8.2 out of 10, and I give Iron Man 2 an 8.4 out of 10… Expand

This doesn’t make the film better or worse - it is simply how the film. Rhodes is portrayed by a different actor - one who I prefer - and is actually fleshed out as a character.

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

Still, it is a movie worth to check out!… Expand

I personally thought it was same old, same old. I didn't love Iron Man 1, but I still liked it. Same goes for this sequel. However, this movie did get me pumped for movies like Thor, Captain America, and the Avengers!

It was interesting to see what was so different about each suit but to do it right in the middle of a fight takes away all the excitement of the fight that is happening. I didnt mind the plot either but it could have been a lot more interesting and it could have taken a lot less time to explain.

I did like how it featured a lot of interesting action through out. I liked the addition of Don Cheadle (as Terrance Howard's replacement) and Robert Downey Jr gave a great performance as well. I suprisingly liked it a lot more then the first film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was nowhere near as good as the first one. First of all, I hate when they replace main characters in movies. I understand that it's not necessarily the fault of the film but replacing Terrance Howard with Don Cheadle affects the feel of the movie; similar to when they replaced Katie Holmes with Maggie Gylenhaul in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. Also, a technology that was pushed to be so incredible and impossible to replicate in the first installment is thrown around in this movie like if it's no more rare than an std. Lastly, similar to the first film, there were some huge plot holes. If a villain's weapons are a sort of lasso, wouldn't common sense tell you to just fire on him from outside of the lasso range? I would certainly think a genius like Tony Stark would be able to figure that out. Also, if you access the main computer and can reset the War Machine, why couldn't you also reset the others? Nonetheless, Robert Downey Jr. once again proves to be a top notch actor in Hollywood and the movie's transition to the "Avengers" adds some excitement to an otherwise quick and overrated ending. Still, I was a little disappointed.… Expand

I like super hero movies and I liked the first Iron man. After hearing all the hype and after numerous interferences I was finally able to check Iron Man out. AFter seeing it all I can say is that it was worth seeing but it wasn't as I like super hero movies and I liked the first Iron man. After hearing all the hype and after numerous interferences I was finally able to check Iron Man out. AFter seeing it all I can say is that it was worth seeing but it wasn't as gripping as the first one. Iron Man 2 picks up shortly after the previous film The government is either considering Iron Man a threat or they want him to hand over the suit;but that's not that important. Also, there is a new villain on the scene called Ivan. On top of that Tony is dying. Here's my take on the story. The whole dying thing is interesting but it never really feels that critical. Now that the bad is out of the way lets talk about the good. Ivan is an awesome villain. The actor who plays him does a great job at bringing the character to life and making him interesting. On top of that, the villain's motivation is much more clear that the previous one's. As far as action goes the movie does not disappoint. All the action was awesome. However, I couldn't really get into. This was due either to the fact that I'm more mature or the fact that people were talking during the movie. Either way I was still able to enjoy the action but wasn't fully engrossed in it. One final thing I'd like to bring up is as always Robert Downey Jr. gives a spectacular performance creating a like able protagonist thats interesting. All and all Iron Man 2 is a good movie. The characters are interesting and the action is good. What prevents it from getting the solid 10/10 is the fact that it didn't suck me in as well as the first. Long story short if you liked the first Iron Man go see this one;but, if you didn't like the first one then don't see the sequel because it won't change your mind. P.S. For those of you who decide to see it, make sure that your expectations aren't set too high because if they are then this movie will probably disappoint you 5x more than it did for me.… Expand

That being said, I thought it was alot of fun, which is all that counts. Downey is great once again. The story line of Tony Stark's barrillium heart killing him and his subsequent self-destruction is the main point of interest. The Justin Hammer character was a hoot. The scene with Whiplash at the Grand Prix was very good, as was the house fight between Stark and Rhodey, which is greatly enhanced by the mashup work of the late DJ AM. Jon Favreau again does a very good directional job. And while they ultimately didn't need to be in the movie, I can never complain about the presence of the ultrasexy Scarlett Johannsen or the so-cool-he's-ice-cold Samuel L. Jackson.

Complete action-packed, great characters interest, and interludes with effective humors. Tony Starks is an eccentric, self-centered (even sometimes looks childish) but genius multi-billionaire who builds Iron Man suit. Thiz time, he faced health issue and ready to confront another threads from his business rival, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) and mysterious Whiplash (Mickey Rourke). In the first Iron Man two years ago, I said to everyone that Tony Starks was too humanist on the movie, that was wrong. Starks should be appears more **** to fill his original character (If you asked me thiz kind of stuff, well, comics was my world. I remembered my dad bought me first Iron Man issue from overseas). But on thiz sequel, Iron Man character really fills my expectations. Robert Downey Jr. acted amazingly well, continues his first exhilarating performance. The most powerful element in Iron Man movies is definitely Downey Jr. Mickey Rourke is our other attention after his Oscar-nominated THE WRESTLER (2008). He is playing save on his villain-character and it looked well. On the fight scene, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow was surprisingly kick-ass. I did not know was the camera angle or the fight choreography which made it worked, but Johansson really left behind her girly image. Unfortunately, I do not like Nick Fury character (Samuel L. Jackson) which reconstructs from Fury original character. Other Casts were: Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, etc. The movie directed by an actor who luckily thrived on thiz franchise, Jon Favreau. Some of his Directing credits were ZATHURA: A SPACE ADVENTURE(2005) and the comedy ELF (2003). It is almost very difficult to say thiz movie is not a good one. Apparently it is an excellent and entertaining movie for everyone. Cannot wait for another Starks Expo!
