I love the part where Gwyneth Paltrow gives Robert Downey Jr a kiss on the helmet and threw if of the plane and said ‘Go get them boss” and how Tony Stark made an entrance to the Stark Expo as Iron Man. Awesome!

There’s Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Don Cheadle as War Machine and a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow,

Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as billionaire industrialist Tony Stark, aka Marvel’s armored Avenger Iron Man. Directed by Jon Favreau, Iron Man 2 also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling, John Slattery, Kate Mara, Clark Gregg and Olivia Munn. (Olivia Munn is not only starring in Iron Man 2 she is also Maxim magazine’s first cover girl of 2010)

Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7, 2010. What do you think, will the sequel be better than the first one?

I find Iron Man just brilliant, terrific and uniquely entertaining. It’s the best comic movie ever. A perfect adaptation from the comics and there’s more character development in this single movie than any other comic based movies. No flat cartoon characters like Fantastic Four here and if compared to Transformers, although Iron Man is also glossy and shiny, he’s more human inside.

Robert Downey Jr plays Tony Stark. He’s a multi billionaire womanizer who’s a bit boyish sometimes, a little too sarcastic, arrogant, but as a whole, he’s likeable … and believable. He actually holds the film together.

The movie starts with a scene in Afghanistan, where Tony Stark is doing a demo on the ‘Jericho’ missile, his latest destructive creation. On the way back, he was attacked by a group of terrorist called the Ten Rings and was severely wounded by his own weapon, and captured. He was forced to build them a version of Jericho’ but instead he built his escape plan. He returned as a changed man, and now wants an end to all weapons development. His new found conscience led him to the creation of Iron Man.

Enough spoilers, go and watch the movie. You will love it. It’s ok if you have missed Ghost Rider or Fantastic Four, but if you are a comic/marvel fan, this is not to be missed. Anyway, I saw Iron Man alone at Sunway Carnival Mall after my shift ended. The whole team has been working 24 hours for the past 6 days and our SAP is now LiVE!

I am going for my second round with the kids next Saturday. So, look for me if you are going to One Utama.

By the way, if you are a fan, Marvel also introduced SHIELD in this movie and if you don’t know, Iron Man is the Director of SHIELD.
