--------------------------------------------------------------

This character is one of my favourites for Robert Downey Jr. and he gives the perfect larger than life performance, but it's the small moments where Tony deals with more personal aspects of his new life that are the most intriguing!
Gwyneth Paltrow has much more screen time as Pepper and there are some really funny scenes as she tries to deal with Tony's outlandish ways.
Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer does his best to be as cool as Tony and is nicely annoying and Don Cheadle is good as Tony's sidekick and gives us a glimpse of Iron Man being able to handle life as part of a team.
It's nice to get more info about S.H.I.E.L.D. as Samuel L. Jackson brings Nick Fury in for more of a chat and gives some nice teasers for what's to come whilst Scarlett Johansson makes Natalie mysterious and totally kicks ass as Natasha and Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson is still in the mix.
Mickey Rourke is impressive as he says little but does a lot and all his action scenes are great fun and I also like Garry Shandling as senator Stern who gets the best line as the film closes.
As with the first movie the effects are great throughout and the battle at the end is crazy and well performed. Full on action that enjoys itself!!
