Review: Iron Man 2

Iron Man

Hell yeah.

Summer blockbuster.  Explosions.  Awesome special effects.  Fights, chase scenes, a rock star superhero… what else do you need?  Where it may be weaker in plot than the first Iron Man… let’s take a look at the big picture, shall we?

This is a movie based on a comic book.  A comic book, folks.  This isn’t going to be Schindler’s List, people… ok?  You pretty much know what you’re going to get even before you step in line to buy a ticket… an action packed thrill ride of high tech body suits and superhero mega-coolness.

This is a fun movie that has Robert Downey Jr reprising his role as Tony Stark, acting pretty much the exact way we would probably expect for him to act in real life, just with a multi-million dollar battle suit.  The NJLE gives Iron Man 2 a two thumbs up and a fist pound just for good measure.
