Iron Man 2

"Iron Man 2" was good. People will say that it's not as good as the first one but this only comes from the feeling you got when you FIRST saw Iron Man on the big screen. "Iron Man 2" seems like a perfect addition to the already amazing title. I can't say I liked it more or less than the first one because they both had different strengths.


The first "Iron Man" was mainly about his origin. This meant that it was filled with "OH MY GOD HE'S POWERING UP HIS HAND CANON FOR THE FIRST TIME" or "LOOK AT THAT IT'S SO AWESOME" moments. The first few fights you see Iron Man in, fully suited up, will stick with you. "Iron Man 2" had less of a nostalgic feel but the fight scenes felt like they were improved. The story was a bit more in depth, a trait that Marvel films have been slowly getting a better handle of.

One thing that I didn't like is that Iron Man can't have a single villain that doesn't have some sort of mock up of his very suit. At least not in the movies. I can't think of any of Iron Man's enemies, probably because I don't read the comic, but as far as the movies go, I don't know that anything would be able to stand up to his suit and the powers that this movie mad it out to have.

Definitely a must see. And when you do see it, stay after the credits for yet another surprise.
