Now Playing Presents: The Avengers Movie Retrospective Series

The first Iron Man film set the gold (and red) standard for Marvel superheroes in movies, but Marvel Studios knew the pressure was high to build up to The Avengers so just two years later Iron Man 2 was released. Jon Favreau was back behind the camera, and Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow were still starring, but now Don Cheadle dons the War Machine suit, Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke team up as villains, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has a much larger presence in the form of Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, and Scarlett Johansson's Natalie "Black Widow" Romanoff. The film is certainly bigger than the first, but is it better? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob's review to find out!    {Marvel Series}  {Iron Man Series}  {Avengers Series}  {Comic Book Series}
