I was looking forward to this, but afraid that I would be disappointed. Needless to say, I wasn't. I enjoyed every minute of it. While I think the middle bit was a little slow, and the 1st Iron Man film was better, I liked this sequel a lot too.
Robert Downey Jr is really good in this role, as is Gwyneth Paltrow. They have such a good rapport on screen, the banter flows so easily between them, I wonder if they are good friends in real life... She is beautiful and her red hair really suits her.
...and the rest of the cast:
Don Cheadle as 'Rhodey' - I prefer Terrence Howard in the role, but DC wasn't too bad.
- Scarlett Johannson is so cute in this role, she has a fantastic figure, and her hair is amazing. I am generally not a fan of hers, but I really liked her in this.
- Mickey Rourke is always good, and he is at his element as the heavily tattooed bad guy with a grudge Ivan Vanko.
- Samuel Jackson set up the 'Avengers' movie with lots of lead-ins. Not a big role but very cool nonetheless.
- Sam Rockwell annoyed the crap out of me. I didn't like him in this at all. He is just not cool enough to play the flippant rival to Robert Downey Junior. Not even close.
So, in conclusion, I laughed and cheered along to this movie and can't wait for The Avengers and Iron Man 3!!!
