A Great movie for comicbook fans

Marvel deliver another hit with this latest installment in the IRONMAN franchise. The effects were top quality during the movies many explosive sequences. This was actually one of the few times that movie benefitted rather than suffered from adding several players to the main cast.
Robert Downey Jr. continues to charm his way through the role of the nihlistic playboy Tony Stark while Gwyneth Paltrow also reprises her role as gal-friday Pepper Potts. The main cast change that ruffled a few feathers was Don Cheadle as Stark's best pal Col. Rhodes. Honesty, I belive Cheadle made the character edgier and more lifelike than his predeccesor.The biggest change to this movie was the addition of several new characters.
Mickey Rourke played the role of WHIPLASH captivatingly and made you both detest him and admire his ingenuity and intelligence. Sam Rockwell as Mr. Hammer Tony's competitor was actually enjoyable but a little bit too goofy to be taken seriously. Scarlett Johansen LOOKED great as Black Widow but in all honesty came across as little more than a flat stock character spy-girl. Though,Samuel L Jackson's rendering of Nick Fury was actually better than several of his other roles in films as of late. The character returns Jackson to the Badass role for which people love him.
In conclusion Ironman II is worth the money to see as a movie for the actors performances alone but its made doubley good if you are a comic book fan and understand the multitude of hidden Marvel 'IN' jokes sprinkled through the film.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
