The New Film Iron Man 2

The Iron Man franchise has become one of the most successful comic book super hero stories of all time. It’s hard to think that this beloved comic book character, developed by Stan Lee and Bill Finger inidered as an antihero, could ever fail to attract an audience of die-hard comic book fans. The Iron Man franchise began with the first issue of the series and has grown into an amazing multi-million dollar industry, selling more of its merchandise than any other comic book franchise. The latest movie in the franchise, The Iron Man 2, just debuted at the box office last weekend and is sure to rake in some serious cash during its first weeks of release. If you are a true Iron Man fan, then I’m sure you have been following the latest development in the saga.

The plot of the Iron Man film series revolves around the development of a synthetic version of human tissue, called “plasmoid” in comparison to the biological material we all belong to. The creation of the Iron Man suit was a result of a massive nuclear war that ended when the United States Navy vessel Deep Water Gulf inadvertently exploded and sank the North Korean ship. The salvaged parts from this attack were gathered and combined into a working bio-genetic weapon that could be remotely operated. This creation was tested on a few unsuspecting test subjects who weren’t aware that they were being poisoned while the apparatus attached to their skin began to attack their bodies. The poison was injected into their systems and a chemical reaction transformed their bodies, turning them into super soldiers capable of defeating any enemy that stands before them.

While the initial success of the weapons system was considered a success, the nuclear warhead component was discovered and added to the arsenal. Without the rogue element, the US couldn’t launch a strike against Iran for fear that they would wipe out the stockpile of nuclear warheads hidden away in those nukes. Thus, the evil genius Dr. Bruce Banner was fired upon by Tony Stark and Pepper Pottinger created a virus to attach to the virus, disabling the American soldiers’ ability to kill enemies with weapons designed to kill viruses. Once the soldiers were rendered defenseless, the Iranian hostage crisis escalated into a very costly disaster for the United States. Instead of striking at the Iranian compound with Tomahawks, we let them capture our Navy scientists for use in stealing vital information from our nation.

When the US finally did strike, they discovered that the building was already empty except for a lone security guard. Having been brainwashed by Hydra into fighting for Hydra, he attacked the scientists and killed them all. Before he could strike a killing blow, however, Bucky betrayed his old friend Sam Wilson and the two saved the captured scientists. With the help of a Hulkbuster repulsor, Bucky distracted the guards long enough for Wilson to sneak into the facility and save the captured scientists, while the USN destroy the remaining Hydra base.

If you thought the ending of the first Iron Man film left you feeling unfinished, wait until you see the second. In the new film, Rhodey becomes the head of a new terrorist organization called The Brotherhood without completing the deal he made with Banner during the first film. He executes several hits on Americans working for the government and captures the mind of his mentor, Dr. Curt Connor, only to kill him during the course of an intense fight in Africa. While we never found out why he killed Connor, this turn of events established Rhodey as a dangerous enemy in the future films. We can only guess that it could be related to the success of his terrorist organization.

The new films will continue to entertain as many viewers as the first Iron Man has. The story line is exciting, the fighting action is great, and the cast does a fantastic job of bringing all of these characters to life on the big screen. The best part of the film was seeing Rhodey, Ant-Man, and Bucky work alongside each other like they have for years.
