What I Think

I didn’t see this movie in theaters when it was released for reasons I do not remeber but I wish I did. Even though it was not as good as the 1st Iron Man (2008) movie it was still good and better than The Incredible Hulk (2008). My favorite part of the movie is where Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and War Machine (Don Cheadle) fight off the drones and Whiplash (Mickey Rourke). This is my 12th favorite MCU movie as of this date above Thor: The Dark World (2013) and The Incredible Hulk (2008).
