After seeing this movie, I thought that this one was not excellent, but just as good as the first one. It continues where Iron Man 1 left off, and introduces plenty of new characters that die-hard comic book fans will know by heart. The action never stops. Plenty of good CGI. The soundtrack is classic rock by AC/DC and there's some laughs. Comparing it to that other super hero movie of the last decade is easy....it ain't no Dark Knight but is more like Superman II. Stay after the end credits for a bonus scene. This is the best superhero movie of 2010, period. Too bad Terence Howard doesn't do a good of a job as Don Cheadle.
