Review of Iron Man 2 (2010) by Xander M — 20 Jan 2018
Finally Iron Man 2! After the meh Incredible Hulk we could really use another Iron Man movie. That is what I thought before I watched this movie. Sadly this is not true. This movie is only a little bit better than Incredible Hulk and not by much.
This is an extremely disappointing movie. Robert Downey Jr. is the best part of this movie. Don Cheadle is also a better Rhodes than Terrence Howard. This is a very overstuffed movie. It has to setup Thor and The Avengers.
It shoehorns Black Widow in to a movie already overstuffed with plots. The resolution to Stark's chest issue is hidden inside a model city Howard Stark built and then just left it around. The villain, Whiplash, is even worst than Tim Roth's Abomination.
He just commits suicide for nothing. The comedy does not really work. Overall it is meh. Better than Incredible Hulk but not Iron Man 1. Thumbs up but barely.
