So tonight I saw Iron Man 2, and it was one heck of a great movie.
Iron Man 2 was an action-packed film that improved on some of the flaws that Iron Man had. Unlike in Iron Man, in which was complete back story and a little action towards the ending, Iron Man 2 started practically from the beginning with action. Whether it was Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) landing in front of cheering fans with Iron Man cheerleaders in tow. We find out that Stark is actually dying because the chest piece he has is both keeping him alive and slowly killing him at the same time.
Later in Monaco, Stark encounters Whip Lash (Rourke) who cuts his car in half, then nearly kills him. This revelation that the technology is now possible to be made by anyone causes him to rethink his life, but at the same time act completely drunk at his own party. Eventually his best friend Rhodie (Cheadle) dons another suit to take on his friend to try and calm him down.
It's only through intervention by his best friend, followed by the arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury (Jackson) and Natasha Romanoff (Johansson) does he finally start to realize who is he, and also thanks to his father, is able to solve the problem he had to do with his dying. Finally, armed with a new suit, new chest piece, and new will, he is able to face off against Whip Lash and his newly built army of drones that were built with the Iron Man technology. He also has to fight his friend Rhodie once more in an upgraded Iron Man costume, now labeled War Machine, but this time he is being controlled by Whip Lash through computer use.
Eventually Rhodie is freed from the control thanks to Romanoff's skill at computers, which is precluded by a kick-ass scene of Romanoff kicking give-or-take seven to ten guards with acrobatics and fighting moves. Rhodie and Stark finally take on the drones with an intense scene of fighting, bullets flying, and energy blasts until eventually they face off against Whip Lash and take him down by firing energy blasts at each other which explodes in Whip Lash's face.
They are honored as heroes, and the movie ends with Stark talking with Fury about something called The Avengers Initiative, followed by agreeing to Romanoff's assessment of him as a narcissist.
After the credits, the audience was also greeted with a nice little preview of Agent Coulson (Gregg) in New Mexico, finding a large hole being dug. The camera then ends the scene closing in on a metal hammer (which must assume that Thor is going to appear in the next film).
Anyway that's my review. I apologize for the choppiness of it and the total spoiler of the movie. Sorry!
Night everyone! And I'm sorry I didn't talk about autism stuff, but there really was nothing to talk about in this case.
