Overall, a very strong sequel compared to most. I love how it really dived into tony starks egotistical side, this emphasises how much he develops in future movies, this is the part I find to be necessary. It sets his personality in stone, as if he is going to be arrogant and childish throughout future movies, which makes his leap from that so incredible. The change in actors for Rhody was great, he played a decently sized role in the movie as a whole. The dialogue was rough for some scenes, it peaked whenever Tony was arguing with pepper.

The way the first introduced black widow was interesting. It wasn't bad but she didn't actually need to be in the movie, obviously she plays a huge part later. The villain is really where it fell flat for me, his motivations for being a bad guy really wasn't strong and was not highlighted nearly enough which mad it feel, for me, as if he was just bad to be bad. The action was great... a bit stupid at points. It confused me how whiplashes whips could slice straight through a car but could barely cut a millimetre through the iron man suit, but it is what it is. Decent movie 6/10.
