Been putting off watching this thing, it ended up being what I expected. This is the same film as the original Iron Man except they just jacked it by being bigger, noisier and more expensive. In the last film Tony Stark ended up fighting a guy in another Iron Man suit who was more powerful than him. In this film he fights a whole bunch of bad robots instead of just one robot guy. In the previous film, Tony Stark is a drunk and a playboy. In Iron Man 2 he's drunker and a bigger playboy. You get the picture.
Not much of a plot mostly a bunch of random incidents. Iron Man fights some Russian guy with electronic whips, Iron Man fights him again, Iron Man fights his robots etc. The secret spy organization SHIELD is mixed up in this so called story. Some agent named Black Widow has infiltrated Tony Stark's company for reasons I was not entirely sure of except that she wears tight clothes and beats up lots of guys.
Everything wraps up with a big action climax with Tony Stark and his friend wearing some robot armor that shoots missiles. Lots of computer images blow up. No picture needs to be painted for this movie.
As far as the cast goes, Robert Downey does his little cute playboy thing again. Gwyneth Paltrow is probably grateful she is in a hit movie series, ditto Scarlett Johansson. Mickey Roarke plays some brilliant Russian scientist who builds the evil robot army which is kind of amusing considering Roarke looks like he can barely groom himself.
