Iron man 2

Greetings, Iron man 2 is a marvel film about a comic book hero called Tony Stark or his other half Iron man. I had reviewed the original movie a few years ago and this movie has many of the same actors and actresses in it for instance Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Paltrow. It delivers much of the same action packed fun as the first movie and the acting was just as good but I preferred the original. I’m not stating this was a bad movie, it just felt that it wasn’t as good because it wasn’t a new experience, unlike the first one. 

The plot is rather complex, the story itself begins decades before the movie when Stark’s father and a Russian named Venko are trying to build a new way to create and sustain energy. Venko is deported back to Russia suspected of being a Soviet spy and dies at the beginning of the movie, his son, Ivan  decides to take revenge on Iron man as Stark has some of his father’s legacy in building the corporation Stark industries. Ivan takes on the identity of Whiplash , with the help of an electric device he had built.

Iron man has enough problems to deal with as a rival entrepreneur called Hammer wants the suit to be given over to the US, this is because he believes Tony Stark is reckless and the suit is a dangerous weapon. Another factor is the point that Stark’s suit which is keeping him alive is actually killing him by contaminating his blood. So Iron man has to solve these problems during the span of the film. Overall it is pleasant to watch and relatively exciting but it wasn’t better than the original. If you’re a fan of Iron man or are at least interested in superheroes, I would encourage you to check it out. The tenth chapter of the Invisible Agents is up in Warehouse 17.
