Well, I'm sure some opinions will differ from mine, but I thought Iron Man 2 was even better than the first one, and I consider that to be, if not the best, one of the best movies ever made in the super-hero genre.

Good acting (OK, nobody expects any Academy Awards here), decent plot/story line, and GREAT action sequences and special effects.

When I first learned that Robert Downey Jr. had been cast for the role of Tony Stark in the original movie I thought...what? He, of course, proved me very wrong in both that movie and this one. And, while the abrupt shift from Terrence Howard to Don Cheadle for the Rhodey character was a little disconcerting, I got over it pretty quickly.

Bring on the Thor, Avengers, and Captain America movies...do those folks at Marvel know how to turn a buck or what!
