After the events of the first movie, Tony Stark aka Iron-Man (Robert Downy Jr.) has revealed to himself to the world his true ID and he is making history. Ivan Vanko (Michael Rouke) avenges his father's death whom he believes his father's ideas were stolen by the starks years ago and decides to make himself a powerhouse named Whiplash. However, Tony is dealing with issues as the radiation in his pacemaker is slowly killing him as he needs a different kind of energy that can make him healthy for with the help of Pepper (Gynth Paltrow), Nick fury (Samuel L Jackson) and BlackWidow (Scarlett Johanson) as he faces an enemy far worse than his last one.

An entertaining sequel to an excellent Marvel movie and probably the weakest of The Avengers set up movies as Jon Fevervue returns as director. This movie deals with conflict including decent character development and good acting but i do admit it is inferior to the first movie or The Avengers no doubt but there is some nice action sequences and good effects by ILM. However, i do admit it's a good sequel that also sets up for the next Avengers movie by the end credits.
