Admirable film.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It wasn't as good as the first movie. The introduction of two new superheroes seemed unnecessary, like a buildup to a deus ex machina. It also relied too much on the villain, Asian Ironman clone. Whereas the first movie explored Ironman's character development and learning new lessons, in this movie, he not only didn't evolve his character, he seemed to forget some of the lessons he learned in the previous movie. In the previous movie, he transformed from a uncaring party-boy into someone who left behind his bad ways behind to pursue peace. This movie had one good point, the fact that Ironman was slowly being poisoned by his own suit. This could have been expanded to symbolize how his pride was ruining him. He could have undergone a character transformation in this movie, to stop being so prideful, while simultaneously finding his cure. Unfortunately, the writers did not expand into deeper realms like they did for the previous movie.
Okay, I may be biased because I'm a huge Iron Man film but I liked this movie a lot. It was different than the first Iron Man and really got me into the story. I liked the relationship that Tony Stark and Jarvis had in this film better than the first one. Not my favorite Iron Man film but I think they did great to help tell his stories.
I watched this first time upon release and was disappointed. I hoped after a few years i would appreciate more but unfortunately not. It dragged at times and action not as good as other MCU movies. Introduced new characters but maybe should have concentrated on this movie rather than the ones to follow. I gave it a 6 but 5.5 would be more appropriate.
I'll never understand why people didn't like this instalment in the MCU. RDJ returns for the role he was born for, we are introduced to the kickass Black Widow, and Mickey Rourke plays a pretty cool villain. Yes, the plot is pretty jam-packed with a lot of different side-plots which can get confusing, but I'd say this a sequel almost as good as the original. Rating: 8/10
