Iron Man 2 is a pivotal MCU film, highlighting Tony Stark's struggles with the side effects of his suit, government pressure, and his own mortality, revealing his personal growth.

The visuals were truly amazing! However, I couldn't help but be a little surprised by the scenes where Iron Man's suit was repeatedly destroyed. There were so many instances of "if it breaks, just put on another suit" that I found myself thinking, "Wait, is it over already?" As a long-time fan, I felt that the image of Iron Man as the "steel hero" had become a little cheap. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted to depict Tony Stark's human frailty, which differs from the invincible hero image we've come to expect.

The film was thought to be a festive film with all the Avengers and all the heroes, but it was also a glimpse into the struggles of each of the heroes.
