Iron Man 2

Tony Stark is back as Iron Man, as he continues to provide world peace while the US government wants his one of a kind, hi-tech suit turned over to the people. Some "people" don't want to wait for it to be turned over and take matters into their own hands.

It's a fun movie, well done and well acted, but it's not one of the rare sequels that out does its predecessor. The opening and ending are exciting and keep you interested. It does get a little bogged down in the middle, as Mandy said, trying to decide whether to be it's own movie, set up Iron Man 3 or set up The Avengers. While the Avengers stuff is interesting, especially to the die-hard fans, however it's not really necessary for this movie. I also felt like the climax of the story kind of comes out of nowhere and is a little unexpected...but still works. The special fx are great and overall it's a pretty good start to the Summer blockbuster season.
