Alright boys and girls it’s Fishfactor Flex here, your friendly neighborhood superhero fanatic. It’s time for me to review the newly released blockbuster, Iron Man 2. And what a movie this was. It had action, romance, and a hell of a lot more action.
The story starts out when Tony Stark realizes that his magnetic heart gadget is slowly poisoning him and killing him. He needs to find a new way to keep the shrapnel in his body from damaging his heart. Tony’s company is on the up and up while Justin Hammer’s company is just plain terrible. Hammer realizes believes that he can make a better Iron Man suit so he recruits the help of a Russian named Ivan, who will later become one of Iron Man’s arch enemies Whiplash. Ivan is supposed to be making Hammers new suit but instead is fixated on getting revenge on Tony for his families wrong doings. He makes electrical whips that tear through virtually any material and even severely damage one of Tony’s suits early in the movie. One of Tony’s good friends, Colonel Rhodes, played by Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard in the first movie, tries to help Tony when he slips into a slight depression. Tony decides to throw a party and get drunk while wearing the Iron Man suit and Rhody can’t do anything but put on one of the prototypes to stop him. They get into a fight and Rhody eventually leaves with the suit, he appears later with weapons galore attached and a new paint job. He is now War Machine. Rhody and Tony need to work together at the end to fight off whiplash who creates a bad@$$ suit of his own.
I thought the movie was fantastic and I liked it better than the first one which was also amazing The only problem is is that the last fight lasts like 2 minutes and I would have liked to see a lot more fighting between Iron Man and Whiplash. But that being said the movie was great and I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Gotta go see this one.
Great summary, but what about the storyline? acting? directing?
It does sound good. I should watch the first one and then go see this one 😉
