Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2 wasn’t as gripping as the first one, and struggled with a plot of low stakes and the rather contrived idea that Stark’s father would hide a great discovery for no well-defined reason, but Robert Downey Junior’s ability to make such a repulsive man so very likeable carried the whole thing, and Mickey Rourke has remarkable gravitas even in a thinly-sketched role. Haz seemed to enjoy it, recognizing Black Widow where I didn’t (although not getting that Samuel L. Jackson was Nick Fury, bless’m), and I liked the hints at Avengers films to come – especially the use of Cap’s shield, heheh.
