One of the most fun things about being a teenager is that you can go to a midnight and go to school the next day (or at least, I did, my friend stayed home the rest of the day, wimp). I went to the midnight show of this movie, and I loved it. Not only the experience, but also the movie. I was a huge fan of the first iron man but this one was amazing. I always like Robert Downey Jr. I think he was great in this. The movie starts out just where the last one ended. With him saying he is Iron Man. But there is a problem, his iron man core has been hurting him. As Jarvis says, "The machine that is keeping him alive is also killing him." He then has a flash of genius, he makes Pepper Pots the CEO of Stark Industries. This does not go over well with the press. Meanwhile, there is a man named Ivan Vanko. He is the son of Howard Stark's coworker. He has hated Tony Stark forever because his father was exported because of Howard Stark. He creates an Iron man suit that has whips. Then there is chaos. Everything works in this movie. Robert Downey Jr. is great and so is Sam Rockwell. The writing in this movie is so snappy, so fresh. Just like it was in the first movie. I really enjoyed this movie. The only thing I would change is that it would be just a little bit shorter. Other than that, a fantastic movie.
