A nice big group of people to go and see what is set to be the blockbuster hit of the year and it’s not even May yet. This trip took 2 cars full of people and on a night where I expected queues out of the door with it being bank holiday and everything we walked straight in although it did fill up by the time the film started.

So the original Iron man film a few years ago took the world by surprise when it came from nowhere and broke all sorts of box office records and made some unbelievable money. And it was actually pretty good although I’ve always thought it was slightly flawed by the first 30 minutes or so being slightly dull and so I was looking for slightly more from this one and boy does it deliver.

Firstly you can’t write about Iron man 2 without discussing the cast, Get this list:
• Robert Downey Jr
• Mickey Rourke
• Don Cheadle
• Samual L Jackson
• Sam Rockwell
• Gwyneth Paltrow
• Scarltt Johanson

That list is incredible and every single one of them is on top of there game in this. Stand outs go to RDJ who was born to play Tony Stark I don’t think anyone can deny that. Although Mickey Rourke is brilliant in this film I have to give my other stand out performance to a man who is potentially the most underrated man in Hollywood and that man is Sam Rockwell. Justin Hammer is very unlikeable and a bit goofy perfect from Rockwell and he relishes in the role.

The film unlike it’s predecessor is engaging and very fun from start to end and I would quite happily have watched another 30 minutes or so of it and I can’t say that very often.

In summary if you like superhero movies (and lets face it there has been a lot of superhero guff over the last few years) then you will love this, if you like action films you will love this and if you like top quality acting from 7 of Hollywoods finest you will love this film.
