Iron Man 2: Review



Not many nice dialogues. Robert Downey Jr. is impressive, as always. But sequels have to prove something, they inevitably have to. From that point, what Iron man 2 serves on plate is a bit less than enough. Scarlett Johansson goes to a complete waste as the black widow(Avenger fans do expect a bit more). And the disappointment is not in what she does but what she doesn't do.


But action is nice in bits, especially where Jr. unleases his super weapon, cutting through the drones like winter wheat. The obsession of the rival mastermind with the neanderthal energy whip, however, is unclear.


Final verdict: Watchable.

I haven't watched Iron Man 1. What is your take on that movie?

Iron Man (1) was a different kind of superhero movie, a first of its kind in that genre. Downey Jr. played his part of a bad-ass-brat-superhero well. And the dialogues were good.

Besides, it was a sort of a debut for a little-known Downey Jr. and he impressed me (and the world alike for the movie was a huge success).
