Iron Man 2

Action
4 stars
Fun, guilty pleasure. Robert Downey Jr. is back as the egotistical Tony Stark. There are several story lines such as Mickey Rourke playing a Russian wanting revenge (the cause of his anger is explained really fast in about two sentences, so if you’re not paying attention, you’ll miss it), the government wants Stark’s technology, a competing company run by Sam Rockwell also wants the technology for lucrative government contracts, Tony’s having health issues and Scarlett Johansson kicks butt. All the story lines are explained really fast as if they don’t matter, because after all, the whole point is to watch all the action and special effects. Gwyneth Paltrow also co-stars. Fun!
