    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 47 mins) The photo of Ivan being arrested that Tony Stark views in his research is an actual media photo of Mickey Rourke being arrested on a drugs charge when he was younger.
    • Goofs
      (at around 3 mins) A newspaper on a stand says "Stark takes reigns at 21", should be "reins". This is a running gag from Iron Man (2008).
    • Quotes

      [seeing Tony Stark, in partial Iron Man armor, sitting in a giant rooftop donut display]

      Nick Fury: Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a scene after the closing credits: Agent Coulson arrives in New Mexico and locates a crater in which lies the war hammer Mjolnir. This is in fact an alternate version of the same scene from Thor (2011).
    • Alternate versions
      The mainland Chinese release obscures Vanko's nationality by reversing all Russian references on the soundtrack. For example, the word "Russia" comes out as something like "Ashar", and "Siberia" as "Ayuribias". The subtitles and the Mandarin-dubbed version simply delete these references altogether.

    7/10
    Really good sequel
    It isn't as good as the original but Iron Man 2 is still a really good sequel. Robert Downey Jr. once again gives an incredible performance and is extremely charismatic. Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Sam Rockwell all give great performances. Jon Favreau's direction is really good and it's consistently funny. The CG is impressive and the music by John Denney is good. However, Mickey Rourke is wasted as a forgettable villain and the final battle is a little short.
