Ironman 2 rekalled...

IRONMAN 2, the sequel to the great-out-of-nowhere Ironman from a couple of summers ago, comes at us again, all guns blazing. The key players are back, Jon Favre brings his keen ability to craft and entertaining story and his star is Robert Downey Jr does not disappoint with his interpretation of Tony Stark. Never has a character so arrogant and narcissistic been so fun to root for as the one that Downey has crafted in Ironman 2. There is plenty of action and John Favre shows his growing ability as a director with these action scenes while maintaining the humorous interactions with all the characters. The bit players really tied the film together with an excellent performance from Sam Rockwell as rival industrialist Justin Hammer. Overall I really enjoyed the film from beginning to end and had many little moments for fans of the comic and the universe they are developing but it wasn't overwhelming for the average film goer. A real crowd pleaser. I liked it so much I saw it twice within a week of each viewing and can hardly wait for the Bluray to see more of what went into this movie.
