Is it as good as Iron Man?

Rating: 7/10 (29 April 2010)

To give a quick answer. No!
The film starts off way too cocky. Tony Stark is a smart ass. He's up himself. He's giving attitude at a senate committee. Then he's off to Monaco.
The film for me gets cooking after about twenty minutes. There are a lot of good things about Iron Man 2. There is just some stuff in there that doesn't go over to well.
The good. War Machine. I just wish Terence Howard was back. Mickey Rourke - underplayed and great accent. The finale - great action.
The not so good. A stressed Pepper Potts. Tony Stark - not as engaging. Too little of Iron Man kicking A$$ The Easter egg at the end of the credits being nowhere as good as the original Iron man. Only two AC/DC songs used in the film.
