Rating: 3/5

Robert Downey Jr. with his amazing smile and penetrating eyes plays a powerful yet sometimes vulnerable Iron Man. In this sequel, Iron man exposes himself to the general public and reveals his true identity. The government wants him to return the Iron Man suit which is his propreitary.

Tony Stark, the hero, does not want to handover his property and special suit to the government. He claims that the suit is safe with him and no one can destroy the nation. Meantime, the past enemies of Iron man and his father plot to create an alternate suit and kill Iron man. The villain is a physics scientist who creates powerful gadgets to kill Iron man.

The movie is all about how Iron man discovers his father’s treasure and his ambition and how he destroys the enemies. The plot is beautifully laid and the characters action is mature enough. The side kicks played by one of the heroines (Scarlett Johansson) and the hero’s friend (Don Cheadle) are apt and support the main hero. Samuel Jackson plays a guest role as a surprising friend.

The movie is rated PG 13, but our kids can watch freely. Only couple of scenes are not suitable for young audience. But, overall the movie is engaging and entertaining. The technical gadgets shown in the movie are high-tech and the Iron man suits are great.

The  movie is a good time pass to watch with family. I wonder what happens if the armed forces really got the Iron man suits. 🙂
