Iron Man 2 (2010) 7/10

Starring : Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke
Director : Jon Favreau
Running Time : 114 mins

Now that the general public are aware that millionaire Tony Stark (Downey) has secretly been acting as Iron Man, the US government are breathing down his neck to share his Iron Man weaponry with them. Stark refuses, claiming that no other country is anywhere close to perfecting weaponry like his. Unfortunately one of his competitors has in fact created weapons that could be a match for Stark Industries, and their intentions are less than honourable.

Although not quite as good as the first instalment, Iron Man 2 is a pretty decent superhero movie. It is slow in places, and its run time is a little excessive, but fans of Downey and his alcoholic portrayal of Tony Stark will thoroughly enjoy this lead up to the inevitable Avengers movie in 2012.
