Iron Man 2 (2010)

Tony shouldn't still be a jerk, but I guess some thing don't change.

IRON MAN 2

STORY
Shortly after the events of Iron Man, Tony Stark is more popular than ever for revealing his super hero persona.  Then the government puts him on trial for not sharing his tech, and Tony says, "only I have this technology, no other person will develop it for at least ten years, i'm not a threat".  And so as the debate keep raging, someone does in fact recreate the tech, Tony has to take a look at not only how the suit is affecting him, but also Pepper, his company, and the world, when the very thing that is keeping him alive is also killing him.  


CONTENT
More sexual innuendo pppresent than the previous Iron Man film, more languge and more violence, such as drones killing people at a fair.  Tony is jerk for the first hour of the movie, so he's not a role model super hero like Spider-Man or Superman.

CONCLUSION
This is easily the worst movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and besides teasing Thor and Captain America, does nothing for the franchise.  I didn't enjoy the hour of Jerkism displayed, and it was almost unbearable to watch.  Mabey you'll like it, but I didn't.  Some of the scenes were cool, but the film as a whole was unenjoyable.  Why was Black Widow in the movie again?
