"Iron Man 2" is second installment in the "Iron Man" series and is once again directed by Jon Favreau. Academy Award nominee Robert Downey, Jr. reprises his role as billionaire inventor Tony Stark. In the film the world is aware that Stark is the superhero known as Iron Man and with that comes pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. But Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. The film's villain Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), is a physicist who builds his own arc reactor-based weapon to exact vengeance on the Stark family. Other cast members include Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle as Lt. Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine, Scarlett Johnassen as Natasha Romanoff, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, Garry Shandling as a senator, John Slaterry as Howard Stark, Clark Gregg as S.H.I.E.L.D agent Phil Coulson, and Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. The acting in the film is well above average, with amazing performances from Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, and of course Robert Downey, Jr. All in all, the movie was unbelievable and is just as good as the first one. Nothing but good things to say, it was well directed, well written, well acted, it was very funny, and full of action. You know what else is great, the soundtrack lead by songs from AC/DC and an amazing score from John Debney and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello. So if you heard that critics hate the movie, ignore them because they are fools, I loved the film from start to finish. "Iron Man 2" receives 4 1/2 wheelchairs out of 5. If you are going to see this movie, you should sit through the credits because there is a post-credits scene, just like the first film had. View Trailer Here
