Iron Man 2 (2010)

This has to rate very high in special effects alone, the scene in Monaco on the race track was brilliantly done and exhilarating to watch. The action was good and was pleasing to the eye as long as you could accept that in the film world, the human body can easily survive the amount of shuddering and impact equal to being hit with a cannonball in the testicles.

The cast was good as were the performances, particularly from Mickey Rourke who looks like he could be a good replacement joker for the late Heath Ledger in Batman. Accents aside (which to someone who doesn't know any Russians was just fine) Rouke stood out by a mile but the placement of Sam Rockwell and Jon Favreau himself in slightly tongue in cheek roles worked very well.

One possible criticism would be the under-use of Samuel L Jackson but this has only made sure that he will be appearing in future instalments of the franchise. Other than that, the film was very entertaining, however, the Colonel can only give this 4 rams in the stomache by a Rolls Royce out of 5.
