Iron Man 2 review (2010)

The next film in the marvel cinematic universe was iron man 2 and I must say I actually think this is the worst film that marvel has made in the new universe. This film isn't that bad but because of the high standards of the other films.

The premise of this film sees Tony stark trying to keep the iron man suit out of the hands of the government. While also a person from his past comes back to haunt him with his own tech.

Robert Downey jnr is great in the role as Tony stark and even though this is the weakest film he has been in he is still great. He is still the narcissist that we loved in the first film and he keeps up his trash talking ways in the sequel.

The supporting cast is really good as well, Gwyneth paltrow return as pepper Potts and her character evolves in this film and once again her chemistry with Downey is really good and quality significant part of the film. Don Cheadle replaced Terrence Howard as James Rhodes and he did just as good a role and his character becomes a more important part of the film in this one and I believe he may be a bigger part of age of ultron then people expect. Sam Rockwell is the main villain Justin hammer and he is great, he was portrayed as a parallel of Tony stark and it really worked in this film. Scarlett Johansson is in this film and her character is shaded in mystery in this film and I think her character is going to be explored more in agar of ultron.

The story is where this film really fails as their is just too many things going on in this film. I just think they put the many characters in this film and they felt they had to give importance to all of them in this film. If they had just had the government going after Tony Starks suits then this film would have been focused and totally could have been great.

The script was alright with Downey and rockwells dialogue being funny and working for the film. However, there was just some unnecessary additions of comedy that didn't work and vanko is just quite hard to understand.

The action scenes in this film are great as you would expect and the action in these films are directed really well. But there is a bad direction of the dialogue and the way it is presented hurts the film as people talk over each other and you won't be able to hear.

Overall this is an above average film and if you want to have the complete marvel collection then this film is watchable and when you watch the others you may want to see this film.
