Nearly as good as original

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2010)

I liked the movie enough. Aside from feeling burned by my theater's new $11 ticket price, ouch, I had a good time. But I give most credit to the audience with whom I watched this movie at 12:01am on the eve of the opening. The theater was quite full and those people are fanatic, laughing louder and making more whooping noises, clapping often, at stuff that most audiences would let pass in silence.
The story was a bit simple, incomplete. Left me really unsatisfied. But if you want all the same stuff from the original: Tony Stark's ego, hot chick diversions, an evil dude and some government red tape as antagonists, then this basic rehash of the original is good for you.
