Our take on Iron Man 2

Jon Favreau's 2010 sequel picks up with Tony Stark's secret out: the world now knows the billionaire inventor is the armored hero Iron Man, and government, press and public all pressure him to hand his technology to the military. Reluctant to surrender his creation, Stark must forge new alliances alongside Pepper Potts and James 'Rhodey' Rhodes while confronting powerful enemies. This action-adventure blends superhero spectacle with Stark's trademark wit and the widening ambitions of a shared universe. It's aimed at fans following the ongoing saga rather than newcomers, offering slick set pieces and character banter. Best enjoyed by those already invested in Iron Man's story and its expanding world.
