- "Iron Man 2" is a polished, high-octane sequel, not as good as the original but building once again on a quirky performance by Robert Downey Jr. The superhero genre doesn't necessarily require good acting, but when it's there (as in "Iron Man" and "The Dark Knight"), that takes it up a level.

Parents need to know that Iron Man 2 has even more explosions and action than Iron Man, but it also ups the snarky humor and sexual innuendo. The two biggest concerns for parents are violence (while there's not much blood, there are plenty of bombs, weapons, and fights, as well as two men who are…

Marvel Studios’ MCU movies don’t exactly delve much into serious issues in favor of keeping a lighter and more generally accessible tone. They do, however, enjoy flirting with them. While Iron Man 2 never really explicitly establishes Tony Stark as an alcoholic, there are visual signs of it throughout the movie that are noticeable for an older audi...
Iron Man 2’s main problem isn’t so much that it has too much going on, more that it doesn’t demonstrate much focus on any particular story element over another. Which is definitely a drawback when you’re trying to present a thrilling, linear, action movie. Neither of the movie’s villains seems like much of a match for the main hero, not just even w...
One good thing about Iron Man 2 picking every direction as opposed to one direction is that it has the budget and talent to back this decision up. As a result, the movie contains a wide variety of action scenes involving different characters in vastly different settings. There’s a racing element involved during a superpowered assassination attempt ...
Perhaps the most damning of Iron Man 2’s numerous plot threads is the material designed to set up the first Avengers movie. RELATED: Where To Watch All The MCU Movies Online (& Which Order To Watch Them In) It isn’t unbearable but it strengthens the impression that the movie doesn’t have a reason for existing outside of advertising the brand and ke...
There are a number of recurring characters from the original Iron Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and even the less-successful Incredible Hulk movie with Edward Norton isn't totally forgotten in the franchise's continuity. But Iron Man 2 is the moment that the MCU really committed to its form. Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and John Sl...
Not helping with the overall bloated feeling of the movie is a string of cameos, most of which haven't aged well for various reasons. The opening of the movie interestingly features two future Marvel movie main characters, with brief appearances from Kate Mara (Fantastic Four) and Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse) which seem wasteful but not particul...
The spectacle of the modern superhero movie is in computer animation and Iron Man 2does outstandingly well not only for its time period but also in relation to MCU movies in general. Favreau has always been big on marrying computer effects with practical effects and the detail in Iron Man 2’s sequences and designs helps to blend the two together in...
There are a number of criminally underrated villains from the MCU and there’s even one in Iron Man 2. But it’s definitely not Mickey Rourke’s Ivan ‘Whiplash’ Vanko.

The MCU’s first major recasting was one of its best. Don Cheadle stepped into the role vacated by Terrence Howard without missing a beat, carrying over the same demeanor that Howard brought to the role while expanding it into more heavily dramatic scenes. Cheadle not only births the fan-favorite hero of War Machine onto the big screen for the first...
Whether Iron Man 2’s more indirect approach to plotting works for you or doesn’t, it’s fairly undeniable that the movie feels longer than it should be. All of its worst aspects compound in the second act, where thrillers often struggle, and it fails to carry over any engagement with the plot to the finale. The antagonists are off doing their own th...
