Comments: I finally got around to watching Iron Man 2 today. After not expecting it to be up to par with the first film, I found myself pleasantly surprised. Iron Man 2 is filled with both the action and comedy of the original, and while it may not be quite as good, it's pretty damn close. The movie gets off to a bit of slow start, but picks up the pace soon after and is certainly entertaining. There's a nice little reference to Captain America in the film (next summer), and there's a reference to Thor after the credits (also next summer; The Avengers is in 2012). Iron Man 2 certainly lives up to its billing and is an enjoyable way to spend two hours. Count me in when the DVD is released.
