Iron Man 2: Electric Egotistical Multi-Millionaire Goes Bad-Ass Boogaloo

It was good. Having not seen the original, I really can’t give a fair comparison. All I can say is that it was predictable. Iron Man is awesome, someone tries to beat him, it almost works, but then Iron Man comes back in the end. Oh, and he gets the girl. Except not the hot one. The cute one. Yeah, that’s right. That’s how it should work. Gwenyth Paltrow. Yeah.
Even still, it was visually appealing, Robert Downey Jr. was wonderful as always, the girls were fabulous(ly gorgeous), and the black factor (Don Cheadle + Samuel L. Jackson) made me want to hug the person who desegregated the world. Mickey Rourke as Ivan was a pretty good choice, although I would’ve picked Danny Trejo any day.
In short, predictable but enjoyable. It at least gave something for Iron Man fans and action movie lovers to ogle at and for everyone else to kinda say “eh”.
FINAL SCORE ON THE WILL SISSKIND 11-POINT SCALE: 8.5/11
