Sequels always used to be worse th an firsts. Then 'Empire Strikes Back' kicked things in to another field.

I loved 'Iron Man' . I can't go wrong with Jeff Bridges in it. Big performance real acting; bald with beard clearly the bad guy.

Mickey Rourke is the new bad guy as Ivan Vanko. Expcept he has a reason to be resentful of Tony Stark and I liked this twist that the supposed bad guy actually had a real moral reason to fight the hero. Then again he doesn't come across as really wanting to kill Robert Downey Jnr which lessens the movie's impact.

This twist is cut by a script that has been rushed together following 'Iron Man's success. Wish it had been better.
