Iron Man 2

This was one of those movies that you wait for any you know will be a decent movie. The first Iron Man was a pretty dang good movie for the type of movie that it is. Well, Iron Man 2 takes that great stigma and feeling behind the movie and makes it part of this one as well. It takes the same type of action and packs it right on top of the where the original left off.

Iron Man 2 is in all reality just your average action packed sequel to a great movie. What I really like is that Jon Favreau really kept what was great in the movie. Not to mention that Robert Downey Jr. did an amazing job as he always does. The story flowed really well along with the characters that made it move, even Mickey Rourke who I thought would just slow it down and for good measure dumb it down.

There were a couple of things about the film that kind of sucked but they are not major things. For instance not casting Terrance Howard. This is not a huge screw up but having the original cast in a huge feature film is kind of a big deal. Not discrediting Don Cheadle, he was really good in the movie and should have been in the first one. The other thing that bugged me was the ending fight with Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr., it was kind of lame and could have been done a LOT better. You will see what I mean when you watch the movie.

A movie directed by Jon Favreau which features Robert Downey Jr. you would expect some really witty and funny come backs ect. Well, it kind of falls short on those compared to movies like Couples Retreat and the first Iron Man. What it lacks for in comedy it makes up for in great acting and sweet action. If you have not guessed by now I LOVE action movies and will pretty much cream my pants when I see titles like “Iron Man” and “Transformers”.

I would really recommend seeing this one in the theaters, even though I hate telling people that. You will get your money out of this one like you did the first one, you know you did. So go make your own judgments about this film and come back here and let me know I am a sucker and dumb ass for action movies.
