What’s an Iron Man movie without an Iron Man? Well, guess what? It’s a better installment than the last one! Or so they say…so just check out these spoilers and think for yourself. Critics are just losers with bad taste half the time.
Allright so the jist of it is, Stark is without a suit or anything to aid in killing off his enemies and he’s still having anxiety attacks from that battle in last summer’s The Avengers. Some Tennessee kid named Harley (Ty Simpkins), succeeds in pushing Tony to rediscover his inner garage-workshop tinkerer.
We’ve got unusually good performances from Downey, Pearce, Don Cheadle as Stark’s gung-ho buddy Col. Rhodes, and especially Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin, the true nature of whom I shall not reveal.
And unlike most comic-book directors, Black doesn’t stint on the killing. An attack on Air Force One has the high body count of the movie Air Force One. It must be said that the timing wouldn’t seem to be great for a popcorn blockbuster featuring explosions in American cities, but for better or worse, this kind of picture always seems to get a pass. The audience needs its fix, and nothing gets between us and our superheroes.
