Not quite Spider-Man 2, but worth the wait.

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2010)

An awaited sequel with high expectations, Iron Man 2 will definitely satisfy the summer movie goer's need for a action packed film. My original expectations for the film were that it would be as good, if not better than the original Iron Man. Although the film didn't live up to my expectations, it did everything, but disappoint. Although campy in some parts, the film succeeds in building on Tony Stark's character crisis, provides humor in unexpected places, and drops many clues for the future Avengers film. I would have loved to give this film a 7.5, but couldn't score it as high as an 8, so a 7 will have to suffice. If you enjoyed the original film you will more than likely love this one as well.
