iron man 2- i heard many mixed things from critics and audiences alike so i was skeptical. then when i went away after i watched this, i was more than pleased. this movie was GREAT. TDK great? Nah. but it was still hot. if you expect wall to wall action, wait for the a-team. this is a story that develops the character of tony even further as well as his friends and enemy. the cast did an outstanding job and when iron man is finally in action, he does not disappoint. great action sequences and convincing. war machine did his thing too. this is also a set up movie for the avengers which, for a comic book geek like me, it is fine ( again sit through the credits if you are a marvel comic fan). rdj absolutely killed this role and solidified himself as the best portrayal of a superhero ever. i am watching this next week on imax with my son but this is HIGHLY recommended, especially if you are part of the true "geek squad" like me. makes you so giddy that this is for real: they are actually doing an avengers movie. its mind boggling.

Just came back from watching Iron Man 2 with the family. It did not disappoint. RDJ is really a great actor. This is a must see. The end of the credits is a must for comic book fans.

Mickey Rourke portrayal of wiiplash is awesome. Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer was also well done. Scarlett's portrayal of Agent Romanoff was ...eh...ok. Her action scenes though were very good.

Paltrow as Pepper Potts has really good chemistry with RDJ as Tony Stark.

just ordered this on bluray (International Version)... love these historical epics & this one gets great reviews

Just finished watching "Kick Ass" Wow!! Did not expect it to be this good. Big Daddy and Hit Girl really takes the cake. This is a must see but as jazz said...this movie is violent and a lot of offensive languages.

Question: Which was better...Black Widow fight scene or Hit Girl fight scene?

Hit Girl fight scene? dunno what movie you're referring to.

the Black Widow fight scene was awesome... 1 of the better parts of the movie IMO... i'm glad they didn't put her up against another female villain for the cliche catfight scene, those types of scenes are always less than spectacular unless there's some sweat, nekked boobies & perhaps some jello involved.

You have to watch "Kick Ass".

has to be the hit girl fight scene because it was so unexpected and vicious. black widow scene was still great tho.
