Kiderült, hogy a szuperhős Vasember valójában Tony Stark. Kihasználva az iránta való érdeklődést a milliárdos feltaláló fel akarja hívni a figyelmet a közjó szolgálatába állítható technikai újdonságokra. A kormány azonban azt szeretné, ha fejlesztéseit a hadsereg kapná. Tony azonban nem akarja megosztani a Vasemberrel kapcsolatos információit, attól fél, hogy azok rossz kezekbe kerülnek. Közben felbukkan egy rejtélyes figura a Stark család múltjából. Ivan Vanko a saját fegyverével akarja elpusztítani a Vasembert. A szuperhős kénytelen újra akcióba lépni, hogy a barátai segítségével legyőzze azokat az erőket, amelyek őt és az emberiséget fenyegetik. (UIP-Duna Film)

Favreau rendező kiválóan kihasználja a sztárszereplőkben rejlő lehetőségeket, ahol még a "mellékszereplőknek" is olyan szerepek jutnak, mintha a testükre szabták volna - a félszemű Samuel bőrkabátban, az eladható Rockwell ügynök, a blade-módra verekedő Scarlett, mindannyian, élükön persze Downey Jr. vezetésével, maximálisan élvezik az egészet (talán csak az orosz pszicho-feltaláló Rourke megérdemelt volna, hogy lélektanilag kidolgozottabb legyen). De maga a sztori abszolút nem vonzza az embert - gyakorlatilag nincs dráma vagy feszültség, és kevesebb mint két akciójelenet van, ami alig 10 percet tesz ki a kétórás (!) játékidőből. Tulajdonképpen kisebb csoda, hogy egy ilyen izgalommentes forgatókönyvvel rendelkező képregény hogyan tud egy ilyen élvezetes beszélgetős film síkján maradni.

I wouldn't expect a warning about the power of (media) imagery from a film whose main protagonist spends half the time drinking and goofing around. Stark is just as amoral a character as the other arms magnate, Hammer, but he knows how to impress people and make fun of himself, a trait that characterises the whole film and distinguishes the Iron Man franchise from the dark comic-book adaptations along the lines of The Dark Knight, which don't make light of the superhero mythos. Favreau doesn’t follow the trend of psychologically more intense comic-book movies. Iron Man 2 is darker solely in what happens to Stark’s body, not in what he goes through. This focus on the surface can be seen as the reason for the popularity of Stark and those like him, who know how to perform in front of television cameras (through which we also see the protagonist several times). That focus on the surface is also the reason that Scarlett Johansson, whose curves are manna for the eyes, has a generally superfluous role in the film. Mickey Rourke, who doesn’t talk much but speaks to the point, is also delightful, as is Gwyneth Paltrow, whose verbal shootouts with Downey are reminiscent of classic screwball comedies with their double entendres and timing, and the roughly two action scenes added in just for fun (since they gave us money for them...) are a joy to watch. Throw out abundant one-liners, look good doing it and quickly fade from memory. Mission accomplished. 75%

This doesn’t work, man. A by-the-numbers comic book movie with zero interesting scenes. I wasn’t particularly thrilled by the first Iron Man, either, but I had no trouble watching it as a mind breather. What I liked the most were the dialogues and the interactions among the characters, something that unfortunately I can’t say about the second one, and thus the lower rating. And the worst is that when there finally was some action, it only took a moment for me to long for it to finish quickly. Bland, without any spark or ideas.

Two days after watching it, the only memories left in my head were strawberries, great actors, and a lot of missed chances (for everyone - Scarlett's absolutely tragic fight in the corridor, like the rest of the action). Even the first film wasn't particularly perennial, but this is a pretty sad downgrade.

Where is the taciturnity and momentum of the first film? Where is Stark's strong personal charm? The second film amounts to watery, scattered, and terribly lifeless blabbering of the star-studded characters, whose dialogues and jokes often feel like they were written by a five-year-old (I admit that the problem may be the dubbing, but unfortunately, that is hardly going to change my impression until I see the version with subtitles). I forgave Favreau’s routinism in the first film because Downey's character had an edge. In the second film, most of the beautiful things are gone, and all that remains is chatter, outdated humor, and surprisingly Downey, who seems to be so convinced about his own irresistibility that he completely ignores the emptiness of his dialogues. There is something wrong with a comic book film that does not get me out of my seat in two hours with even one ballbusting moment. I cannot give the dubbed version more than one star...
