The second instalment of iron man turned out to be...let's say average! Whilst Mr Downey Jr and Mickey Rourke maintain a good level of acting, the storyline somewhat blues the essence of what Iron man is truly about...

Firstly, everything cool about iron man stays relatively unique. The hot rod red and gold colours maintain his glamour, but the production of other suits means that Iron man doesn't seem as special now. Secondly, 'hammer industries' really loses the fear factor when Hammer himself is portrayed so badly by Sam Rockwell. Not so much a villain as a comedian, which is not what the doctor ordered.

I'm intrigued by the marvel series after watching this, with Natalie rushman clearly the aesthetically pleasing type and the introduction of the second coolest man on the planet (Samuel L Jackson), the story is beginning to piece together.. but compared to the first movie in the iron man series, this was a little below the bar set
