Fun Movie

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2014)

The Iron Man movies are still all about RDJ. What he's done with Tony Stark is comparable to what Johnny Depp did with Jack Sparrow: he's made an iconic character for the ages entirely out of his unique performance. It would be nice if this sequel had some interesting character development and smart plotting, but it didn't really matter much. It looked good, there were great performances, and the writing was adequate enough. It ended up being pretty fun. Justin Hammer is a villain you hope to see again. Whiplash deserved better; they should have made changes to the script once they realized what Mickey was on to. I liked the story with Tony finding a new battery for his heart light. I liked the Black Widow fight scene. Good action and good humor--better than I expected.
