Justin Hammer : What Is The Name Of The Sequel To The First Iron Man?

Another flash-bang-wallop of a marvel feature in the now continuing saga of tony stark a.k.a. iron man, this is equally as exhilarating as its predecessor. the suit is still the star for me, my main objection being that old metal-head's screen-time is reduced greatly by the increasing focus on the troubled tony stark, who besides a worsening poisoned-blood situation (caused by his palladium-based artificial heart) which threatens to kill him, suffers rock-star excess, over-drinking, the approbation of colleagues and lovers, the chiding of s.h.i.e.l.d recruiting officer nick fury, disputes with a confrontational congressman, continuing rivalry with smooth operating megalomaniac justin hammer, oh and daddy didn't love him either - all of that before mickey rourke's whiplash enters the scene.so, quite a lot going on then, which with so much character development, gives the likes of downey jr., gwyneth paltrow and sam rockwell (the latter, the real show-stealer here) the chance to act and interact, although don cheadle seems very ill at ease as pressed-into-action hero-or-villain war machine and rourke gets to mumble and mutter a lot in a heavy russian accent.

Iron man 2 has tony stark aka iron man fighting off ivan vanko, a man hellbent on revenge, as well as a new arms dealer justin hammer. for the sake of cramming more characters in sequels, like all sequels do, we also have natasha romanoff/natalie rushman, better known as black widow. black widow, or the eye candy known as scar jo, adds nothing to the film for me.

Ivan vanko doesn't take the defeat lightly and joins stark industry's rival, justin hammer who has been contracted by the government to develop a war fight technology similar to iron man. the next action scene takes place at tony stark's birthday party, which he believes will be his last due to his illness. intoxicated, tony arrives in his iron man suit and the situation soon gets of control.

Although his technology—glowing, electrically charged whips—isn't anything new, he is always fun to watch. likewise, sam rockwell is great as usual as a villain, the wisecracking justin hammer.the plot simply continues on from the last film, after people have found out the true identity of iron man. while it's nothing too complex, the progression of the story is logical--it would surely bring some enemies out of the woodwork if they knew who he was.

Now (in the first 'iron man' movie) it's terrorism and a rival within stark industries who would take it over, the evil obadiah stane, played by jeff bridges. in 'iron man 2,' the enemies are two: a foolish prancing peacock of an upstart industrialist competitor, justin hammer (an excellent sam rockwell), who wants to eliminate stark and his company and have his, not tony's, exo-skeletal weaponry be what the pentagon exclusively buys and uses; and a dangerous maverick russian, half criminal, half tech wizard, with bad memories of tony's father. this individual, ivan vanko (a brilliantly used mickey rourke), winds up unwillingly serving justin hammer, but breaks out on his own in time to do battle with stark and hammer, allied.i think it's safe to say screenwriter justin theroux is having some fun with the sacrosanct values of the original cold war era comic source of iron man.
