Iron Man 2 is a neat experience that was enjoyable, however I found that the characters not established previously in the Marvel Movieverse were cardboard and weak. Whiplash was a really cool character, but his cunning and depth went to waste in a disappointingly weak ending in comparison to the grandiose of the final battle in The Avengers or Spider- Man 3. There was little focus in some of the more important and interesting components, but the movie was undoubtedly an epic all around experience that was tense at moments and would be a hit with adolescents for the more comic action scenes. Maybe a cash in, but it's there.
