They say sarcasm doesnt take ya nowhere, well it work for this film

Marvel is on a roll, since the first one came out. Forming their own studio, they already had plan on making more than 3 movies. And expectation are high. Now the sequel of the one that started it all, come with the same cast, but new villain, and a new face that been Don Cheadle taking the roll that Terrence Howard play.

Does it work, is it better than the first, or is another sequel that deserve to be in thrash:

Tony Stark(Robert Downey) is in lot heat since he gave the announcement that he really is the Iron Man. Now the U.S. government want to confiscated it, Pepper Potts(Gwyneth Patrol) is promoted as CEO, and he body is suffering from the effect of the Arc light. But when he is attack by Ivan Vanko(Mickey Rourke) it come for some attention from part of the competitor and he's founder Justin Hammer(Sam Rockwell) and Hammer industry. But thing gets worst when Tony drinking get to the worst, that not even James(Don Cheadle) can help them. That it need of Nick Fury(Sam Jackson to intervene. And get him straight. But mean while Ivan is already working with James, for making he's new set of toys. Will Tony find someone a way to get back on the suit? Or he's legacy will end, that he will jeopardize everything he build?

Acting from Robert as alway sensational, every line that this guy said. Is gold from the start. It was great to seen more acting time for Gwyneth that i think, she gave her best Mommy performance ever. Hey at least she didnt spend it screaming all the way. Sam Rockwell is great addition from the start, he was not to evil, but it work, for a businessman tycoon. Scarlett Johanson, was very little, but her action sequences, sold it.Mickey rourke, really got that Russian edge, cause bringing a bad ass, tattoo russian Physics gave something to think, to keep him making more evil roles. Now the main question go how well Don Cheadle did? Well Actually it was good, not fun. But good, respect this guy started out as a comedian, now he's in drama. But Garry Shandling and Jon Favreau took the fun moment of the film. Cause that senator role is the best he have done since he's show.

Now the story, what made the first such a hit, what the performance(but more the dialogue). The rhythm that the film had. Was long and short when it came to the action sequences. From the downfall of Tony, to the fixing of Hammer drone, the film lack off on the action. Now i m not saying the is a total bust, but the acting is what saved it lot. I think the relationship that Robert had with Gwyneth made it fell like a episode of friend. It was thoughtful, and funny. The dialogue of the 2nd act it was saved it. With so much sarcasm, there is really no reason to leave, not even for a bathroom break. The effect are till there, like always, something that came out from a star trek next generation episode.

Now there were little action from the fight of the race car, to the final duel with Ivan, they were short, and needed more time, including some more action from the war machine. It was something that was missing from the film, i know the acting of robert always save it. But come on this is based on a comic, and it got it action. So beside giving the explosion and the neat effect, the suspense for the action was just missing.

So bottomless, the film is great, the story is fantastic, but needed that extra battery, to make it as a popcorn film. So is worth to see and laugh, and be thrill(if it mean it was little). So enjoy it, cause stay during the credit, cause what next (spoiler alert) it only come from Asgard.
