Iron
Man 2 takes everything its predecessor did and multiples.
The iron suits, irresponsibility of Tony Stark, explosions and bad guys are all
doubled, even way beyond that at times. Fortunately, Iron Man 2 is also like
the original in the way that it complements its mindless action with a
heartfelt, even if small, story. Like Iron
Man did through Stark becoming Iron Man, Iron Man 2 is touching as it explores of the relationship between
Stark and his late father Howard. This
only reinforces, if not further stresses how great a character Tony Stark is
and how great Robert Downey Jr. is in the role.
Grade:
B
Iron Man 2 really did buy into the idea that more is better. I didn't love all of it, but wholly enjoyed it. B is in line with what I'd give it. I have a feeling that IM2 is merely the bridge between the greatness that is IM and will be IM3.
