Summary

Fantasy action adventure starring Robert Downey Jr, Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley. Wealthy industrialist Tony Stark must rely on his wits when an attack on his home leaves him without his super suit.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Back on track after the disappointing first sequel, this back-to-basics adventure has impressive CGI action and a substantial and involving story to match, as a soul-searching Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) finds himself cut adrift from everything he holds dear. When a villain known as the Mandarin (a deceptively brilliant performance from Ben Kingsley) begins a terror campaign, Stark is attacked in his Malibu home and feared dead. The man-in-the-can soon realises the Mandarin has ties to Aldrich Killian (a superbly villainous Guy Pearce), a scientist from Stark's past whose Extremis virus is being used to turn disabled war veterans into invincible super-soldiers. Director Shane Black and his co-writer Drew Pearce fill the unpredictable plot with smart surprises, breezy black humour and an exuberant sense of fun. And there's no shortage of visual spectacle, with highlights including a wholesale trashing of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, a breathtaking midair rescue and an explosive dockside climax.
