Also after the battle at the race track he says "you lose" even though he lost the battle. Technically he doesn't have any superpowers so it makes no sense how he's able to sustain that much damage. Some moments make no sense, such as Ivan getting rammed 4 times by a car and not having much of a scratch on him or severly injured for that matter. And to top it all off they don't resolve majority of the subplots, so they have no value pretty much.

Here this movie seems to jampack quite a lot of subplots and its hard to focus on them half the time with the main plot. In the first movie the subplots which were consistent blended well with its main plot and didn't conflict. There is a lot of subplots and this film does have a hard time meshing them together. The structure this film's plot is inconsistent and there are moments that make no sense. Apparently Justin Hammer is the main villain but at times I have a hard time seeing who is the main one. His revenge for Tony is understandable but he isn't very memorable as a villain or compelling enough.
The villain(s)/handling of the villain(s) like I said Mickey Rourke does a fantastic job as Ivan Vanko/Whiplash but unfortunately he is underutilized. Also the final fight scene is awesome too.ġ. All the action is much more fun and investing especially my favourite scene (which arguably is the best action scene in the movie) which is the Black Widow hallway fight scene which is awesome to look at *wink* *wink*. The action the action is a huge improvement over its predecessor. The acting is also really good, there is no performance that sticks out like a sore thumb, Jon Favreau is great at directing actors and actresses' dialogue. The rest of the cast is great too, such as Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko/Whiplash who is perfect as the character. This film also introduces Scarlet Johanson as Black Widow who does a good job and Samuel L. Terrence Howard didn't reprise his role as Rhodey instead Don Cheadle has taken his place and honestly all the better for it, he is a lot better as the character in my opinion as I buy him as this Colonel a lot more than Terrence Howard. Gwyneth Paltrow is again great as Pepper Potts. He captures the character so perfectly and again he is very likable. Iron Man 2 for me was a fun movie, but is it better than the first movie? I'm gonna explain what I liked/disliked.ġ. I can watch Downey Jr as Tony Stark any day. Sure, there are quite a few unnecessary elements of the film's plot, but Iron Man 2 is still an enjoyable and highly re-watchable film. However, her scenes alongside Jon Favreau are very memorable. Scarlett Johansson makes a grand first impression as Black Widow, but she didn't really need to be there. One of the film's few problems lies with the inclusion of so many different story lines, and a few shoehorned in characters. Their pairing make for some of the best action of the film. I didn't mind Terrence Howard's portrayal, but I think at this point, I couldn't see anyone fitting more nicely alongside Downey Jr. Rhodey is back as the reluctant best friend to Tony, though this time, Don Cheadle suits up as War Machine. I've said it before but I'll say it again, Pepper and Tony are one of the only superhero relationships that actually work, and it's once again handled extremely well in this sequel. The Pepper and Tony relationship is better than ever in Iron Man 2 as Pepper is introduced as the new CEO of Stark Industries with Tony sidelined with other issues. If only the focus would have been on Hammer instead of Rourke. He fit the witty humor of the Iron Man films impeccably, and doesn't take himself too seriously. It's even more frustrating because Sam Rockwell is so good as Justin Hammer. However, it may be more of a case in which Rourke simply didn't care about giving the character any depth at all. Marvel really struggles with its villains, and Whiplash is another example of that. It's hard to ever get truly invested in Vanko as a character. In the next line of villains with the same abilities as the hero, Mickey Rourke stars as Ivan Vanko/Whiplash, a man with his mind set on vengeance for what the Starks did to his family. It's action packed, filled with timely humor, and great character development, even if it does have a pretty weak villain.
It's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. But after re-watching for about the 3rd or 4th time, I couldn't help but enjoy the hell out of the film. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty wrong with Iron Man 2.
