An entertaining sequel

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2020)

To me, Iron Man 2 feels like the closest thing to a Michael Bay movie in the Marvel universe. The plot is at times pretty messy, and the action scenes, though filled with glare and explosions, often feel soulless compared to most of the MCU's subsequent work.
With that said, I still like this movie simply because RDJ owns the character of Tony Stark, and seeing him in the franchise's earliest films is always an absolute blast. A character arc like his is pretty much unheard of.
