IRON MAN 2 (2010) 3/5.
Another highly enjoyable American superhero film and the second one based on the Marvel Comics character Iron Man. It is the sequel to the 2008 film, IRON MAN and is the third film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The screenplay for the film is by Justin Theroux, based on characters created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Don Heck and Jack Kirby. The music for the film is by John Debney, it’s produced by Kevin Feige and it’s again directed by Jon Favreau.
Tony Stark is resisting calls by the United States government to hand over the Iron Man technology, while also combating his own declining health. Meanwhile, rogue Russian scientist Ivan Vanko has developed the same technology and built weapons of his own in order to pursue a vendetta against Tony Stark’s family.
The film stars Robert Downey Junior, Samuel L Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan and Stan Lee in another cameo appearance. Like its predecessor, this film was shot mostly in California, except for a key sequence that was filmed in Monaco. It’s not quite as fresh as the original film, but it's still very entertaining.
