Justin hammer iron man 2 movie#
I’ll be honest, the first time I saw this movie I had no idea who this woman was or why she was even in this movie other than to be a nice body to keep Tony distracted. While the movie itself isn’t as action packed and plot driven as the first, it does show us a much more human, and mortal, side to Tony Stark. Luckily he just so happens to be the hero of our story, so with a little help from SHIELD he’s able to pull himself back together and make amends for his behavior. And the more reckless he becomes the more the people in his life turn away from him. But to the public eye it’s all just classic Tony Stark irresponsibility. Everything from him driving the racecar to parading around in the iron man suit during his birthday party is all a result of him falling into despair. This leads to all the risky, self destructive behavior we see in the movie. But now, when the arc reactor in his body is poisoning him, he realizes there’s nothing he can do about it, nothing he can do to prevent his death, and he panics. Even when he was being held captive by the ten rings he was able to remain collected and plan his escape. Tony experiences something in this movie that he’s probably never experienced before in his life: helplessness. The Tony Stark we see in this movie is not the same man we left off with at the end of the first movie. Someone give this man a hug, he desperately needs one. He’s basically a spoiled brat who can’t do anything for himself and wouldn’t have any kind of success at all if he didn’t steal and copy the work of others. Much like Obadiah in the first movie, it’s no surprise that his plot to basically become Tony Stark fails because this guy has no idea what he’s doing. I’m pretty sure that if Rhodes wasn’t so fed up with dealing with Tony, he would have seen right through Justin’s poorly constructed facade. The only people that actually buy his bullshit are the military, and that’s only because of his all-American civic duty act. Everyone just regards him as the annoying, whiney, piece of shit that he is. All he does in the movie is piggy back on the success of others and attempt to manipulate them. That’s what Justin Hammer is, the world’s biggest piece of shit. It’s actually unbelievable that a single piece of shit could be so large and achieve sentience.
