This is Tony Stark, after all… textbook narcissist and impulsive billionaire playboy, and it’s only when there’s an all-out action sequence intervention that we fully appreciate just how far he’s fallen. It’s a tribute to Robert Downey Jr.’s talent, not to mention his exceptional casting, that it takes the audience a long time to appreciate just how self-destructive he’s become. Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), and Christine Everhart (Leslie Bibb) Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), That’s right… Ol’ Buckethead has a bucket list. (Who knew?) So while Tony secretly gets his affairs in order he’s also behaving more outlandishly than ever, overcompensating for the little time he has left with acts of dangerous bravado. Apparently the human body isn’t supposed to have a palladium battery shoved inside of it 24 hours a day. Tony Stark, effectively back on top of the world at the end of the first film, is once again knocked down again by a brush with mortality. Still, Iron Man 2 at once boasts an exciting persona and good old-fashioned fun, making many of the (many) flaws forgivable… much like Tony Stark himself. More high tech fight scenes! More montages! More outlandish billionaires! And, alas, more flaws. Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2, out this weekend, should really be called Iron Man Too, since in many ways it’s the same thing only more so.
Iron man 2 review movie#
Jon Favreau’s first Iron Man was a snazzy little number, cherry red and rocket-fueled and brimming with personality, even when it devolved a bit into action movie cliché right at the end. Iron Man 2 is Bigger, not Better, Than the Original is back as billionaire industrialist Tony Stark, aka Iron Man Scarlett Johansson – Natalie Rushman / Natasha Romanoff He gives both Stark and Iron Man a little swagger and coolness - in a field normally filled with nerds ( Spider-Man's Peter Parker) or stiffs ( Superman's Clark Kent), it's a refreshing change.Don Cheadle – Lt. His work here is funny, human, heroic, and completely engaging, capturing the brisk breezy laugh lines, the adrenaline-fueled action, and the moments of bold purpose that every superhero has to have as they start out. The plot touches all the bases of the traditional "origin story" (how our hero becomes a superhero, his first outing with his new powers, etc.), and it shows plenty of hustle and style as it does so.īut if there's any one thing that makes Iron Man more than just a run-of-the-mill superhero film, it's Downey Jr. Iron Man knows that it's a comic book movie not only does it have all the plot points and moral messages that we're used to from Spider-Man, Batman Begins, and others in the genre, but it also subtly mocks and twists them.
