Iron Man 2

Great product!

I think this is an excellent, if not close to perfect, second installment in the series. We are now drawn deeper into some of the characters, "warts and all" as they say. A big part of the Iron Man story is that of redemption; not just physical redemption from the terrorists in the first movie, but the emotional and spiritual redemption from the many vices of Tony Stark. If these aspects of Stark are only given a surface treatment, there's no idea of why Tony is driven to continue to be Iron Man. The ghost of his father, the demon in the bottle, and the self-destructive behaviors all drive Tony to a need for redemption and salvation.True, this isn't a solid, start-to-end, nothing-but-explosions action movie. There is actually some character development and interpersonal relationship development (Tony-Pepper, Tony-Rhodes, Tony-Fury, etc.) that all tie together the motivations behind Tony Stark/Iron Man. Without this, the character makes no sense.But, there is plenty of action. The final battle probably has more action than most action movies, it's just packed into the last 1/4 of the film instead of spread out here and there.I think this movie seems more real, as well. People seem to be searching for words, people talk over each other instead of waiting until A is done before B starts to talk.The additional material would be worth the price alone. There are hours of stuff to watch, and I haven't gotten through all of it yet. It's nice that instead of just Iron Man, a large part of the Marvel universe is explored and shown how it ties together.I can't think of a single reason not to recommend this Blu-ray/DVD/digital combo set...there is something here for everyone.

Probably my favorite Iron Man movie. I think the movie was fun, had cool Iron Man suits, good action scenes, and was comedic.This movie introduces more characters, recasting Colonel Rhodes (Don Cheadle), it introduced Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who is one of my favorite Avengers, and the new villain, Whiplash, was decent, but could have been a lot better. I kind of wished he was in more of the final battle, but that's alright. The Mark V and Mark VI armors are some of the coolest Iron Man suits. The fight at the racetrack was great, the final battle was cool, and Black Widow fighting the villains was cool. There isn't much I can complain about this movie, and right now, I rank it as one of my favorite movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, behind The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Age of Ultron.Edit: I have re-watched the Iron Man movies recently, and I like the first Iron Man more, but this is a great sequel.I think that Iron Man 2 is a great movie with cool characters, cool fights, and good special effects. Definitely worth watching.

Great to use

Iron Man 2 is a thrilling sequel that ramps up the action while expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Jon Favreau, it strikes a solid balance between character development and high-octane spectacle. Robert Downey Jr. once again shines as Tony Stark, bringing charm and vulnerability to the character. The addition of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Mickey Rourke as the vengeful Ivan Vanko adds depth and conflict, though Rourke's villain feels underdeveloped at times. The film's pacing can be uneven, with some moments of exposition slowing down the otherwise exciting plot, but it’s still a fun and energetic ride.

Delivered on time, no issues with the product quality. Satisfied with the whole experience. Thank you

If you're reading this review, it probably means you didn't see the movie in the theater. I saw it several times, at least once in IMAX, and I was genuinely concerned that a smaller screen could never do the movie justice.Hard to believe, but there is a whole group of people out there that absolutely hate super-hero movies. That's because super-heroes don't do a very good job representing us. We have a hard time seeing ourselves in the super-hero's shoes, because they're so much larger than life.On the contrary, Tony Stark is someone that a guy like me can easily relate to. No, I'm not a multi-billionaire or the son of an iconic genius-inventor / modern renaissance man.Tony Stark is a man. He's an alcoholic, and a womanizer, and he knows that money can't buy happiness. He's a charismatic leader that can charm an audience with his wit and humor, and he has developed a track record for being a hero with which no villain should even attempt to challenge. He's an athlete, and a fighter, and he has gone toe-to-toe with all manner of villains already (none of whom we get to know anything about--we just have to assume.)Don Cheadle gives a very understated performance, but he plays the part well. I do appreciate the fact that he's a serious hero that kids will love, and he also happens to be African-American (something that's not usually true of super-heroes.) War Machine is a force to be reckoned with, and Don Cheadle does a great job exhibiting the type of maschismo that would go hand-in-hand with suiting up in armor that makes one a virtual one man army.ScarJo also does a great job...But no one would have cared no matter how bad her acting proved to be. She's Eye Candy at it's very finest, and watching her in her form-fitting outfits is something akin to staring at the sun during an eclipse. I'm serious: she's so smoking hot, I couldn't figure out why Tony wasn't trying to put the moves on her. There's a scene on the night of his birthday party, when he's clearly getting drunk, and I suppose a lesser man would have been all over her. Not Tony, though. It's clear that he's already made his choice: Miss Pepper Potts.The movie has its flaws, and it has its fair share of detractors. Critics that I trust implicitly have stated unequivocably that they loathed the movie, which really hurts my heart. I loved this movie, and I intend to find out how many viewings I can get out of a Blu-Ray before it has to be replaced.

Good
