Review of Iron Man 2 (2010) by Markus T — 01 Jun 2017
This product is only watchable because some of the strengths from the first movie is carried over to this one. The chemistry is still solid, even with the introduction of a recasted "War Machine". The humour still works, and the acting is top-notch.
There are problems. Lots of them. First of all this movie doesn't have a plot/it can't decide what it wants to be. To start out with it's a remake of the first movie, then it's a setup for The Avengers, then the villain(s) doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Like the first movie it has problems in the third act, and that's surprising considering it almost doesn't have one.
For some reason director Jon Favreau scraps the great Iron Man theme from the first movie, and the rest of the score is bland.
The movie is better than The Incredible Hulk, but not by much.
