Jon Favreau delivers a fan boys wet dream and an admirable follow up to 2008's Ironman.
The movie picks up several years after the original. Tony Stark is Ironman and everyone loves him for it (almost), but the suit is slowly poisoning him.
The government is after his ironman suits as his closest rival Justin Hammer, played to frighteningly nerdy perfection by Sam Rockwell. Hammer enlists Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), to build a drone army to stop Starks dominance in the weaponised exo-skeleton arena.
Starks best friend Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes is also after the suit and eventually get his hands on a prototype, to become War Machine...a supped up version of Ironman.
Other charaters from the marvel also pop up, Scarlett Johansson turns up as S.H.I.E.L.D agent Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury. All leading towards 2012's Avengers movie.
I was always bound to love it...
8/10
