Iron Man Returns

by Scruffitude

It's rare to say that a sequel is better than the original, but Iron Man 2 improves on the original in just about every way.
The plot is superb. We know who Tony Stark is and here we get to see a more vulnerable side to him, as we learn early on that something is wrong with him. The main villain in this film is much more menacing and believable, and is played brilliantly by Mickey Rourke. Another villain is Sam Rockwell playing Justin Hammer, a twisted version of Tony Stark. There's also Scarlett Johansson as the quirky yet likable Natalie Rushman (who has a secret of her own).
My only complaint is the film feels rushed at times, and that major problems were solved too easily. Also, the humor got a bit too silly sometimes.
If you're avoiding this because they replaced Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle, don't. Cheadle nearly steals the entire movie; he's that good. And then of course there's Gwyneth, who has a much more prominent role. Altogether, it's a great film and a great cast.

Iron Man II

by IronManLou

Iron Man was done folowing the basic comic book story lines.It was done well with great action and special effects. It didn't have the impact of the original which I considered to be a first rate film, probably the best of the comic book genre I had seen so far, with Robert Downey creating a Tony Stark that quite frankly made the movie a blockbuster.
The sequel was quite frankly a sequel, and the Tony Stark character became more of a buffoon, emotionally stunted lacking real development rather than the responsible super hero Stan Lee created. It was this image that made Iron Man a super hero, a leader, despite not having any real super powers. It was not the suit that made him. Mr. Downey captured that quality in the first movie and is suprisingly lacking in the second.
Still performances were adequate, humour trite and predictable, and action superb. Its a don't miss for comic book afficiaonados and very entertaining either way. Kids and game freaks would be captivated.

What a blast!

by Movie_Buff_86

I just saw "Iron Man 2" today and it was even more amazing than the first. There are tons of action and battle scenes throughout the movie which will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you want to start your summer off right, i suggest seeing "Iron Man 2" to kick it off. There are many new characters in this movie and you will not be dissapointed at all. "Iron Man 2" is a movie for all ages!

Iron Man 2

by chefrosshirt

There was a lot of hype surrounding the release of iron Man 2 and, as an avid Comic Book Fan, I had some pretty high expectations of this movie as well. I must say that I was not disappointed. This film was exceptional in every way, from the action scenes, the humorous dialog and the throw-ins to other popular Marvel Characters. I was happy to see the War Machine suit as well as the Mark IV, and Mark V suits. Downey Jr. was brilliant in this film and Don Cheadle played a great Rhodie. The film is equally suitable for children and adults, which is important to me as I have three children. I will be watching this movie again and again.

Iron Man 2 Movie Review

by vaanan_kannan

Let me say it right off the beginning..Iron Man 2...Is simply one hell of a fun ride that should NOT be missed!Robert Downey Jr. plays a perfect portrayal of Tony Stark and his..how did Nick Fury put it across? oh yeah...'Textbook Narcissism' :-) Continuing the tradition of the first movie, Iron Man 2 continues the fun factor with action along the lines of the original. My only quip here was that there could have been a little more action, especially in the climax battle with Whiplash...And with the introduction of the various characters setting the perfect stage for the assembling of the Avengers like Nick Fury, the War Machine, and of course:The Black Widow (Sidenote: Scarlett Johansson- simply WOH!!!), the movie simply amps it up! And Easter Eggs galore!Captain America's Shield(check!) But to use it as a balance support to even out the height of Tony's new toy???Double check!!! But NOTHING could beat the final easter egg after the credits -By Odin!!! Iron Man 2-Simply a must watch!

This was a good sequel...

by lovestalentmoviefan

...as I read through these reviews,I think some people are just convinced that any sequel will be inferior,and with good reason. This one,however,is one of the few exceptions. More dialogue and story,which some complain about,make it more appealing to a wider audience and they did a nice job. Subject matter was not superfluous,although sometimes a little elementary,but then that is important for the schoolkid group who want to follow the story.Pretty women in tight clothes,I guess,need to be a part because the whole superhero comic thing is larger than life,but it did not need half nude dancers and as much sexual innuendo as there was. I LOVED Tony's humanity and the fact that we see more than his narcicism here. Rockwell and Rourke were simply outstanding and Cheadle filled his predecessor's shoes quite well. Paltrow and Johannsen (sp?) very admirable in making supporting roles top knotch. If I have any valid complaint,it would be the scatteredness of plots. excellent will see again

Great family movie

by moe12moe

This pictur was action packed form begining to end. I really liked that it was kid friendly were I could sit with my son without covering his eyes or ears. It also had a real good story line to follow with out jumping form one idea to another. You will love the action that takes place, to the point I was flying my arms and legs to help Iron Man fight the villain. As you will see he had more then enough help without giving the story away. This is agreat movie for the family to watch together and have much to talk about after the show. The MUSIC in the movie even has you partying in your seat. Enjoy the show!

Iron Man 2

by davidmonheim

My 13-year-old son and I agreed - a good movie but not as great as the orginal. The special effects are good and I love Robert Downey, Jr. but the writing wasn't as compelling as the original. In the credits, Mickey Rourke was listed as "with" and Samual Jackson as "and", even though he was only on screen for a few minutes. I think Mickey deserved better billing. A good movie for adults and for boys of a certain age (sorry, ladies, I'm not a sexist ,but I don't think most teenage girls are into this kind of movie). No nudity or sex, but lots of violence and plenty of swearing (including the "f" word). Depending on prices in your area (I paid $20.00 for tickets but $17+ for popcorn and drinks!), I think you could wait until it comes out on DVD.

Iron Man 2

by 6xchamps

I liked it alot but not as much as the first one(I LOVED that one) It gets kinda slow in the middle could have use more War Machine and one more fight but I give it a 8.5 would pay to see it again. If you haven't heard stay past the credits.
