    An awful movie. The more distance i get from it the more insulted i am by it. It's teetering on some ol' bullshit.

    I do not get why they say that Tony Stark was an asshole. He was dying from palladium to the chest for one thing. What would you do if you only had about 7 days to live? Not that the film doesn't have problems (existentialism is something I like about chars- although, Whiplash should had been more developed) but  I still loved it to death. Full Price.

    This movie was really great. Though the first one was one of my favorite movies of all time, this is a love letter to Marvel fans. High FULL PRICE!! Like the first one, stay after the credits, because you will find a little easter egg for all you 'God of Thunder' fans.

    First Rule of Movies: Sequels Suck. The original movie was well made and thought out. I can watch this movie over and over. In the first movie, Tony was the man. Women wanted him, men wanted to be him. In Iron Man 2, there is nothing alluring or cool about Tony Stark. He is an ass. He's dying and you really don't care. Mickey O'Rourke did an adequate job with what he had, but I didn't like him or understand his motivation. They could have spent a little time developing the Character to make you understand his hatred for Tony Stark. The rival supplier company leader Hammer was not compelling. I like T&A as much as the next guy, but I felt Scarlett Johansson's black widow to be one dimensional and forced. Samuel Jackson....what can I say. It was truly the role he was born to play, since his likeness was used in the comic book. I had to wonder,"How much did they pay him to do the "I got my eye on you" line. Terrence Howard was a good James Rhodes. The replacement of him with Cheadle was unneccessary and overkill. You don't need Cheadle to play a sidekick to Iron Man. You need Cheadle to play Iron Man in an adaptation that in which Tony Stark is black. Speaking of Roadie, how could he power the Iron Man armor without a power source in his chest? Obviously, I was not the target demographic for this movie, because it was a Some ole BS to me.

    I really liked this film. I wish it had more action, and alittle more of a story..but i enjoyed this film!!

    Robert Downey was great. But I thought the Warmachine guy was a bit underdeveloped. He easily sneaked into the laboratory and puts on the Warmachine suit, and he knows how to use the suit right from the start. That's not very convincing. Also, the end game fight was also a bit too short, suffers the same problem from the first film.

    Full Price! Not that many sequels are as good as this one!

    This movie is awsome (even though the first one was better). The villain here was great too.

    Iron Man (2008) - A. An Outstanding surprise of an action-packed superhero movie. Iron Man 2 (2010) - A+. An Award-worthy, fun and terrific action-packed superhero movie sequel.

    This movie is the definition of matinee. The fight scenes were amazing and there were a lot of them, but there were very few good scenes with Tony Stark. Also, this movie does go really slow in the middle until the final fight scene and it didn't save this movie at all. I also wanted to know why they have Don Cheadle instead of the other guy? Don Cheadle is good, but I hate when movies make a cast change.

    Full Price

    FINALLY saw this and thought it was a great movie. Sure, not as fun as the first and a somewhat disappointing villain at the end (Whiplash was pretty lame in my opinion anyway in the comics). Still, decent acting with the main characters and a story that was still interesting. Low Full Price for me.

    this movie got wayy too hyped up and it was just a dissapointment. Not even close to being as good as the 1st movie and the end just completely ruined it. Matinee for sure.

    Finally watched this yesterday, and sadly I think you guys were spot on. It's not a bad movie, but it's no where near the standard of the first (which I loved). There's a great action sequence at the end, and Robert Downey was great as usual, but much of the movie just dragged. Nothing really interesting happened, and the dialogue was uninspired.

    Really? A Matinee? They gave Spider-Man 3 a full price and this sequel was WAY better than that. It may not have been as good as the original (due to the lack of a strong villain in my opinion) but it was still a blast to watch. I'd give this movie a LOW FULL PRICE.

    Iron Man 1 was better than Iron Man 2. It was more fun, had better character development, and didn't have as much going on. Spill nailed it by saying that Iron Man 2 suffered from "sequelitis." It wasn't bad; it just wasn't amazing. However, it's still a low Full Price for me because I felt the action sequences in Iron Man 2 were much better than those in Iron Man 1. It's just that there were too many characters in the sequel. It was hard to follow at times. I also wanted to see more of Whiplash and less of the arms dealer guy. His character was so annoying, and Whiplash was much more valuable to the movie.

    Iron Man 2 is Full Price all the way. There were plenty of character development, especially with Tony. I didn't mind the fact that there weren't a lot of Iron Man action sequences, but when it was on, I was geeking the fuck out. For me, it was the perfect sequel to the first one, and it's better because of the various characters. I do say, however, I wanted more Whiplash scenes.

    I absolutley loved Iron Man , I liked better than the first

    Not really into Marvel type of movies...otherwise, it is made professionaly.

    I pretty much agree with everything you guys said. It was a great movie, but it was too jokey at times and there were so many characters that we didn't even see character development. But other than that, I loved it. Great action, good acting, IM2 can't touch the first one, but its still a full price.

    I thought Howard was fine as Roady but I was curious and researched why they switched him out and the word is (not necessarily the truth because this is the internet after all -- which is an extension of real life where you can't always know the truth either) is that he was very difficult to work with on the set and that, because he was first cast, he wound up making more money on this flick than any other actor, including Downey or Paltrow. When they tried to redress that in the sequel he got stubborn. If that is true I coudn't really fault them for dropping him. Ultimately an actor is a contractor, if I demand too much for my services, regardless of whether I was involved in previous work for the client, the client will hire someone else -- regardless of how easy or hard I was to work with, although that can also affect the equation. Spoiler Alert: And again, as far as Roady having command access to the suit storage I suspect the house is keyed to recognize him (unlike the gal from Vanity Fair in the first movie). As far as being able to work them, I have friends that come over and play console games with me that do not own a console, they quickly become very good and sometimes beat me at them. Likewise, Tony was dead drunk when Roady beat him. Finally, even dead drunk Tony wasn't willing to win at any cost against Roady --- seriously, by movie end we know he could have just melted him in half for the win.
