Iron Man 2 reviews

Good movie and GREAT cast! Mickey r. As whiplash could not have been better cast, and sam rockwell as tony starks nemesis is just perfect!! Bring on number 3!!

The second movie in a series is never as good as the first, but this one does pretty well. Very entertaining

Good story excellen plot, but the movie drags on abit without a fight scene or huge bang to get your adrenaline pumping. One fight scene in the boring part of this movie and this movie would have been amazing. A decent movie.

The best way to describe how this movie feels is to compare it to the second in the Lord of the Rings series. Now before purists choke on Golems raw fish, I am not directly comparing the movies but the feeling that this is a tale in transition and the story is not yet finished. Though it stands alone as a good action movie it feels incomplete. How do you improve on one iron man suit? Well how about two? This is an action flick that delivers lots of gun fire and lots of testoterone. It's not as character driven as spiderman but it's true to the comic book, (sorry, graphic novel) and holds it's own, though I would expect more from the third in the series. Turn down the lights, ramp up the volume (AC/DC soundtrack rocks) and enjoy the ride. This is just fun.

While everyone puts on a good performance and the special effects were fantastic, the story for Iron Man 2 is a little weak. It begins well, flounders a bit in the middle, and then moves to a conclusion that is a bit of an anti-climax. Still, if you just want popcorn, it ain't bad, and Tony, The Black Widow, and Whiplash were good watching.

For long-time fans of the Iron Man comic book:

• I found it irritating that Justin Hammer was played as so entirely ineffective. He'd been a force behind many of Tony's foes and could have been a better serious villain.
• Tony's ‘illness’ fit well with the normal strong mind/weak body that he is always facing.
• Scarlet Johansen was excellent as the Black Widow.

If you liked Iron Man then you should like Iron Man 2. Good mixture of action and funny. Great Entertainment.

This DVD is a but light on the extras, but as for the movie, the quality is great and has a simple set up for it.

When it comes to the movie, it is a suitable follow up for the first, maybe only missing the same joy and creativity from Tony Stark as he becomes a bit too egocentric, but this works into the larger Avengers storyline rather than just this film.

Overall, if you like action with laughter in between, its a good movie to watch when you need to relax or get amped up

Great graphics and continious action throughout – cannot wait for Iron Man 3 to arrive

Thoroughly enjoyable

NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE, RATE THE FIRST ONE

Even though Iron Man has been popular in the comics, RDJ has taken this character to new highs of stardom. This film builds on from the first, but also adds Black Widow, Whiplash, War Machine and gives Nick Fury some extra screen time.

I love this franchise. Robvert Downey jnr. Is awesome as Tony Stark. Still a great watch with great moments of action and comedy in it.

Very easy to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Good clean fun! Want to buy the Iron Man collectibles now!

As good as the first film, Iron Man is my favorite

The first Iron Man film was always going to be difficult to top, and simply throwing more money into a movie doesn't make it better. However, it was interesting to see the portrayal of a super hero without a secret identity, and the pitfalls that this presents. I also liked the dichotomy between Stark's invul­nerable Iron Man armour and his failing body as the wounds he recieved in the first film threaten to end his life before he can establish his legacy. It was great to see Black Widow and Nick Fury within the film as well, rather than just as easter eggs after the credits. I don't think the portrayal of Hammer did much justice to the comic book villain who has been such a thorn in Stark's side for so long, but maybe this is just a start for him and he'll be more of a threat in IM III. As part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe you should ideally watch Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America before watching this.

My son was rapt with this movie – thanks for the wonderful overnight delivery and great service
