Iron Man 2 Review

So this was THE movie of the summer (not like we have summer over here), not a movie, but THE movie. Good to see my caps lock button is working. Moving on, Iron Man 2 had massive expectations to meet, those on par with The Dark Knight, and this without a cast member passing away before the movie released. Did the movie meet those expectations? Not quite, but then again, the only way it really could meet those expectations was to have massive , explosive, testosterone-fulled fire fights straight from hell, a brilliantly creepy and odd villain more Kick Ass than Kick Ass the movie, a super hot assistant, a well thought out story, and a cliffhanger ending (no, those are not the same things you use to hang clothes with). Oh, wait a minute, it had all of those things and more. Quite simply Iron Man 2 outshone Iron Man in every way. Think of Iron Man as a lightbulb. Iron Man 2 was a lighthouse. Tony Stark is more egotistical (yes, that IS a word) , witty and charming as ever. Robert Downey Jr. played the part very well, and made it very believable and one can't help but like him even though he's a billionaire who's ego is as big as a very big ego. It doesn't hurt that he's quite good looking (No, I'm not gay, I ahve an opinion). The main baddie in the movie is Whiplash, portrayed by Michael Rourke. Without a doubt MR has to be the most creepy villain this side of creepsville has seen since the Joker. With no disrespect intended, had Michael Rourke suffered the same fate as Heath Ledger, he would've been nominated for an Oscar. Such was his performance as the main baddie that at one point, you couldn't be blamed for wanting the badass Whiplash to come out on top against those men made of iron, whatever you call them. ScarJo acts a ony's new assistant in the movie and boy oh boy does she play the part well. She acte- who am I kidding, Scarlett Johansson, woooooooo. She was super hot in the movie, and had this mysterious vibe about her, making her even more sexy than she already was, which defies the laws of nature. Kinda like, how you think you can;t make a cilli hotter, and then you it on fire. Okay, moving on *puts bucket of drool away*, the soundtrack to the movie was awesome, AC*thunder sign*DC providedthe ost to the movie and it was friggin genius. Their pure rock roots blended well with the kickass aura the Iron Man movie brought, and playing 'Highway To Hell' at the end was brilliant. However, how the hell could they not play the Iron Man theme song ? Whathefuckiswrongwiththemmorons !!!! The Iron Man theme song is iconic, and not playing it left me dumbfounded, disappointed, and disgruntled (That's three of the seven dwarfs mind you). Also, they destroyed a Rolls Royce Phantom =( The movie also starts out pretty slow, petty things that you don't really care about and laugh about nervously happen, but the build up really does culminate in a big, epic fight sequence, but it still starts out slow. I would've given the movie a 8.5 but seeing as they showed SarcJo in her undies, it gets a 9.5. Oh, and the chauffuer is actually the director of the movie and stay until after the credits roll, no matter how long it takes, even if you think they're not going to show you that scene, they will, WAIT .Patience is the key to success, unless you don't have a door.
