Considering the fact that I've been highly anticipating this movie, even before the credits rolled on its predecessor, it had very big shoes to fill (Shaquille O'Neal sized ones really) But, knowing how difficult it is to follow up on successful movie with a sequel, especially in the film adapted comic book genre, I sort of expected to be disappointed in some way or other by Iron Man 2. After watching the first ten minutes though and getting a small glimpse of what was to come, I immediately realized that there was no way that this movie couldn't/shouldn't be better than the first. Essentially everything from the first movie is back, plus new additions like Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle, Samuel Jackson, and Scarlet Johansson.
I could really go on and on about what I liked from this movie, but I'd rather keep it sweet and short. Iron Man 2 is better than the first, the on screen chemistry between Downey Jr. and Paltrow is there, the writing is more on point, it has incredible special effects and explosions, and its once again the definitive summer blockbuster so early in the season. So, by all means see it.. (Over Robin Hood and Shrek Forever After in the coming weeks)
