"Iron Man 2" by Yojimbo

The power source in Tony Stark's chest is slowly killing him and when his behaviour becomes more and more erratic, the military insist on his sharing the technology. Meanwhile the son of Howard Stark's original partner appears on the scene wanting vengence for his father's death in obscurity. Iron Man 2 delivers everything you'd expect from a summer blockbuster; flashy visuals, humour, big name guest stars and spectacular set pieces. As well as an underdeveloped plot, an over reliance on CGI and the curse of the blockbuster sequel, "because we can" syndrome. Let's have Whiplash not only attacking him, but in the middle of a pile up in an F1 race! Because we can. Let's put Samuel L. Jackson in an eye patch and Scarlett Johansson in a catsuit in it even though they're completely irrelevant ...

IM2 _ A Great Sequel

Sequels are a tricky business. The creators need to stay somewhat near the original formula to keep fans interested; they also have to provide new twists and turns to keep things from becoming boring or repetitious. Given the popularity shown for the original Iron Man and the initial buzz for it’s sequel, Iron Man is destined to become a franchise film much like Star Trek, Superman, Star Wars, and Batman et al (sssshhh! – IM3 is already in development). As we’ve seen with other film franchises, it gets harder and harder to keep audiences coming back each time. At least with Iron Man 2 [IM2] there are definitely more twists to keep our hero, Tony Stark, busy; and the audience interested.

Jon Favreau is back in the director’s seat, and again does double-duty as Stark’s driver, Happy Hog...

Iron Man 2 takes Bronze

Iron Man 2, the sequel to its BlockBuster in 2008, was released into theatres in the United States May 7th. In comparison to its presequel, Iron Man 2 performed an unrealistic bleak adventure with short bursts of action.
The second Iron Man presents impossible effects, such as a thirty pound armor rising from a 1 squared foot suiticase. While Tony Stark is speeding around in his million dollar car, he abruptly flips and crashes his stock car into a wall. Any average driver would have been immediately killed, of corse.
Most of the movie shows the anatgonist, Ivan Vanko, plot many new "Iron Men" to destroy the publicity of Iron Man's operator, Tony Stark. Sadly, after watching thirty minutes ot the builiding process, the "epic" battle lasts a mere fourty five seconds. Realistically, Iron...
