After hating “Captain America” and “Thor” as much as I did, I was pleasantly surprised by my complete enjoyment of “Iron Man 2.”  It was really fun, and even the anti-climatic final battle didn’t ruin the film for me.
Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark.  He finds that his power core is slowly killing him.  As he moves closer to death he attempts to wrap up his affairs.  Then Mickey Rourke shows up and has electric whips and wants to kill him.  When Rourke is arrested, Stark’s business nemesis, Justin Hammer, breaks him out of prison to help him build some tech that will out-do the Iron Man suit.
A fun and entertaining film.  Though, not as good as the first one, it does maintain a lot of what made the first one so enjoyable.  Robert Downey Jr. is so likable as Tony Stark that is impossible not to enjoy this film.


8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
