Robert Downey Jr (Sherlock Holmes, Tropic Thunder) is able to entertain audiences across the globe
once again as the man in the iron suit. His charm and charisma paired with his good looks make him the
perfect actor to pull off the narcissistic superhero we all know as the Iron Man. Iron Man 2 may not be as
impressive as the first, but it sure is in the same league. The special effects and CGI are spectacular and
Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler, Sin City) is as good a villain as Scarlett Johansson (Match Point, He’s Just
Not That Into You) is a hot ally. With the humor of director/actor/producer/writter Jon Favreau (Swingers,
Couples Retreat) paired with a cast composed of actors like Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love,
Proof), Samuel L. Jackson(Coach Carter, xXx), Sam Rockwell (Matchstick Men, Choke) and Don Cheadle
(Hotel Rwanda, Crash), this new Marvel sequel is sure to be a favorite.
