A long form review originally posted in 2010:
I find, the best way to look at this movie, is as two movies. Sounds strange I know, but bear with me.
On the one hand you have this Super Hero movie, it's about the main character, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), fl...
Says a lot, but took now a decade to finally see this sequel. Certainly belongs in the lower tier of the MCU as the plot really felt disjointed and even though it was only two hours, really short for a comic book movie nowadays, still felt so much longer. That said, had...
'Iron Man 2' is good, nothing special, but good.
Robert Downey Jr. is just as entertaining in the lead role, while the specials efforts are again pleasing. The score, which I found slightly lacking in 'Iron Man', is improved. The plot isn't as inter...
A predictable sequel that continues the story of the first film without, however, being as good as it is.
After an excellent first movie, this was a predictable sequel, but I have to admit that the movie is a bit over the top and that, sometimes, it feels like a ...
Again an ok movie. Now there's 2 iron man's kind of dumb. I hated that part of the movie but storyline once again is the only good thing.

It was understood that the theaters would be sold out but when the three of us came there we just couldn't accept NO for an answer. So we were finally able to buy tickets BUT we were seated separately. It was fine though. The movie kept me entertained. Except for the gu...
Yet another ridiculously high rated Marvel movie, we get it Marvel fanboys you just love it when a new Marvel movie comes out, so much that you forget any flaws in it and give it a 10 or a 9 anyways.
But come on seriously? Wouldn't you rather they spent a little time...
Honestly, it took me three tries to get through this movie once. It kept putting me to sleep.
The cast do everything they can to make their scenes entertaining, but Iron Man 2 is a just an absolute waste of two hours and $200 million. 1: The stupidly integrated villa...
Watched in chronological order 2022.
Genius bachelor who's also an idiot makes more advanced toys and fights his company betraying him. Dead daddy's secret message saves the day. Meh.
Iron Man 2 tries to juggle too much while saying too little. The sequel to one of the MCU's strongest origin stories ends up feeling like a bloated reiteration of its predecessor's character beats, offering little growth for Tony Stark outside of a rushed subplot involv...
