Tony Stark is Iron-Man, as he announced so openly at the end of the first film. Unlike most superheroes, he has no intention of keeping his identity a secret but this doesn't mean he'll not have any new enemies.

Whilst driving his own racing car, he is ambushed by a man with a similar suit which is exactly what the authorities had been worried about - copycats. Despite being arrested, the badie is recruited by a rival military company who unveil their own army of robots, but as is so often the case in these films - the bad guy can't be trusted and has a scheme of his own.

Meanwhile, the extra fame of being Iron-Man starts to go to Tony's head. It all comes to a head and eventually even his closest friend thinks the suit would be better in someone else's hands.

The film is good fun, but perhaps a bit over the top. One for comic book fans and action freaks but the plot is a bit weak.
