Iron Man 2

“*Iron Man 2* leans into the spectacle of its predecessor, trading the origin story’s focus for a high-octane exploration of Tony Stark’s ego and the weight of his public legacy. While the narrative occasionally feels crowded by its own world-building, Robert Downey Jr.’s magnetic charisma remains the engine of the film, perfectly complemented by Sam Rockwell’s scene-stealing, erratic villainy. It is a quintessential middle-chapter blockbuster that will satisfy fans of witty, tech-driven action and those eager to see the Marvel Cinematic Universe begin its expansion.”
