Iron man 2

Today went to see the movie iron Man 2 with my friend matthew @ South bank Cinema. Tony Stark(Robert Downey Jr) aka as Iron Man has used armor to bring about negoiate peace treaty between the super powers of the world and his populariry with the public which is futhered by opening the stark Expo which was his father's dream to showcase all the latest inventions that will beenfit the world. Stark has to testify to the US Senate which Senator Stern(Gary Shandling) who demands Stark to hand over his armor techinology over for military application which stark refuses. Justin hammer (sam Rockwell) is publicly shamed by stark for his failed attempts at recreating the technology. Stark meanwhile is having problems with his health as he discovers that the palladium in the arc reactor keeping his heart beating is slowly killing him and trying to find an subsitiute which fails and he appoints his assistant Penolope Potts(gwenth Paltrow) CEO which her spot is taken by Natalie Rushman(Scarlett Johannson). went to Monaco where Stark is racing and is attacked by Ivan Vanko(Mickey O'Rourke) who is making an arc reactor of his own which includes whip like attachements harnessing the electrical engery and is planning to upstage tony @ his own Expo and it will lead to interesting stuff throuhgout the movie. it's very good movie and the effects are very good. Robert Downey Jr is excellent at tony stark/iron man, GWenth Paltrow as Penolope is very good so is Scarlett Johansson as Natalie Rushman/Black Widow (scarlett took over from Emily BLunt was supposed to play the role but had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict), Sam Rockwell is excellent as Justin Hammer, Mickey O'Rourke is excellent as the baddie Ivan Danko, Don Cheadle as Lt James Rhodes/war Machine and Samuel L jackson as Nick Fury. the storyline is interesting adventureous and very good and I give it 4 stars. it is in the cinemas now
