Finally watched Iron Man 2 last night and was pleasantly surprised. Movie sequels rarely live up to the hype but this just about did.
I wouldn't say it was better than Iron Man but that's largely because one didn't know what to expect whereas with the sequel the setting is already in place. War machine makes his debut, played by Don Cheadle, with a nicely spec'd out suit of his own. Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson don't have huge roles to play (yet) though Scarlett Johansson does pull off some nifty action moves in her cat suit. With a thumping soundtrack by AC/DC, Iron Man 2 makes for quite an action-packed ride.
Hint: Don't walk away when the credits start rolling....
