Iron Man 2...

I'm giving the film an 8 out of 10. I gave the first an 8.5 (or 9). The first film slightly edges this one out, for me.

Don Cheadle was a good replacement for Howard (Rhodey) and his screen time was kept down enough so as to not steal the show. I was at 1st worried about Scarlet's character, who is never referred to as the Black Widow, and that the film would end up too busy; as has often been done with Batman movies. Downey Jr is back as Tony Stark and just as enjoyable to watch as he was in the 1st film.

I even got a a "Stark Industries" beanie upon leaving the theater!

And yes, stay around to the end of the credits...

That's scary littleD.

I'll see it on Netflix though I'm sure.
Even if only to see Scarlett Johansson.

Scary because I didn't like the first one.
And since most sequels aren't as good as
the first movie (as you said in your review),
that means I might dislike it even more.
But I'm sure it will get Netflixed* by me, if
just for the sound.

Heh heh... well then you might wanna give this one a "pass" if you didn't enjoy the first movie. I was never an Iron Man "fan" growing up and reading comic books... but I dig Robert Downey Jr. and he made the movie "work" for me.

Speaking of Iron Man, has anyone seen Mickey Rourke's interviews
(Leno, Letterman)? He's one crazy cat. I think he'd jack you if
you said the wrong thing to him.
