Tony stark is back, and this is the review you have been waiting for. The world now knows that Tony Stark is the metal costumed superhero crime fighter. The government want the suits technology however tony constantly tells them that he can’t have it. The government are not the only ones that are after the Iron Man though. Bad guys played by Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke are soon on the case wanting to shelve Iron Man for good.
Sequels of movie franchises are seldom the best and often fizzle or bang for all the wrong reasons. Fans of the first movie or comic book to movie fans can rest assured however as Iron Man 2 is much better than the original. There is something in this movie for everyone. There’s action and plenty of it, just as you would expect from a superhero movie. The comedy levels are amped up this time around with Robert Downey Jr being allowed to flex his charisma and charm at every turn. There is also a lot more eye candy this time around, with the introduction of Scarlett Johansson, need I say any more?
Iron Man 2 is one of the better superhero movies to have it our screens, however it is still going to be compared to the Dark knight and sadly Iron Man 2 can’t compete with the dark and brooding superhero from Gotham, however in my opinion they can’t be compared as they are two completely different types of movies. The Dark Knight is more of a serious superhero movie where as Iron Man 2 is a more family friendly movie experience.
If you are a comic book fan or a fan of the first movie then you are going to watch this movie, it doesn’t matter what I say to you, however if you are unaware of the first movie or never fancied watching it before then I urge you to check out the first movie, once you have done so get your butt down to your local cinema, get the biggest bag of popcorn that money can buy and sit back and enjoy the show.
Iron Man 2 gets a solid 4 out of 5 stars and I am really looking forward to the third in the series.
