Mickey Rourke is effective as Whiplash, he may be one of the MCU’s least developed antagonists but Rourke brings a charisma to the part that keeps him interesting (“This is not my bird.”) I can’t tell whether I love or hate this character but I absolutely want to see him crop up again (he appeared very briefly in the Marvel One-Shot “All Hail the King.”) Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer is both funny and unbearably aggravating. The new members of the cast are also extremely good. You look like two seals fighting over a grape.”) He felt more suited to the part and had much better banter with Downey (“I think it's weird. Although it’s interesting to imagine Terrance Howard in, say, “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, I definitely prefer Don Cheadle’s Rhodey.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts is probably one of the better MCU love-interests she has great chemistry with Downey, which makes Tony and Pepper’s relationship more realistic.ĭon Cheadle replaced Terrance Howard as Rhodey in this film after a disagreement over his million-dollar contract ended Howard’s relationship with Marvel. I will never tire of watching him on screen as Tony Stark, I don’t care if he just plays himself, he is (in my opinion) the greatest live-action incarnation of a superhero in all of cinema. The script here gives Downey more range for him to display his many acting abilities from an excellent court scene that hangs on Downey’s rapid-fire one-liners to the more serious moments, Robert Downey Jr. is just as magnetic and hilarious as he was in the first film.
It’s not as brilliant as its predecessor or as daring as its successor, but “Iron Man 2” is still incredibly entertaining!įirst up, the cast all bring energy and enthusiasm to their roles, not one actor phones-in their performance.
#Iron man 2 soundtrack just a best of movie#
I’ll be honest, I thoroughly enjoy “Iron Man 2” I don’t ignore its faults, but I have a blast with this movie every time I re-watch it. Whilst it didn’t infuriate as many comic book fans as “Iron Man 3” did, this certainly isn’t a beloved entry in the wider Marvel universe.
It’s widely criticised for its jumbled plot (which is more focused on setting up “Avengers Assemble” than telling a good story) and its weak villain. “Iron Man 2” is one of the least popular MCU movies.
