Iron Man 2 (2010)

"It's good to be back and someone got his!" - summit10

Sequels have a knack of being better for most films and in Iron Man 2, it definitely is an eye candy!

Story is fast paced but still maintaining the right tone of the plot and the characters to meld in with their objectives for the film's climactic end.

It had a little back story and coming from Tony himself, it is not about you, or him, it is about the Legacy we leave for the people and the future. The film gave direction on how or why the antagonist Ivan Vanko lived and hated the Starks though ironically, it was not deserved for them to be acknowledged regarding his father's contribution with the technology shared with Howard Stark.

The film is ambitious, commendable, funny with all Tony's banters with Pepper Pots, Happy, Nick, Natasha, James and even with Justin Hammer. The character is there, the audience knew him and appreciated more the wittiness and most of the time egotistic, self-righteous, condescending attitude of Tony that we all love or love to hate. The good thing about it is he still saves everyone and gives that sense of responsibility and burden to prove that his armor is for him only to use because simply he is the only one who understands it and its repercussions being used in the wrong way.

All of the characters did their jobs well, I can easily applaud Natasha Romanova played by Scarlett Johanssen, James Rhodes the new armor owner Don Cheadle, Nick Fury did more talk time and more distinctness for his role in the film and the coming films ahead. Everyone did bring their part and that's why it worked, everyone should be able to have enough time to relay what they need to bring for the audience to understand what part they are in a given film or performance.

I was watching every easter egg that I can to give justice to the epic movie to follow and as the ending credits is done, this new information will give more expansion for these stories to be married into one single assemblage.

Everything will fall into place in time and the hammer did fell in the right place...
