Iron Man 2 (2010)

Related imageDecent second installment. Weird bad guy, but effective. Black Widow is in this one which is awesome (want an origin movie for her!).  Still witty, still Iron Man, and that’s always fun.

Characters:
Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) – the guy in the suit
Pepper Pots (Gwyneth Paltrow) – the brains of the operation
Lt. Col. James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes (Don Cheadle) – the best friend
Natalie Rushman/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) – the bada$$
Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) – the greedy businessman
Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) – the radical genius

Summary:
“With the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father’s legacy.” – IMDB Summary

Overall, it was a fun party from start to end. Tech was awesome and visually impressive. Not super important to the story-line of the series (other than the intro of Black Widow), but definitely has some fun action.
