Improves on the first one

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2010)

Robert Downey Jr. coaxed you into the movie theater to see something you'd never usually see- a sci-fi comic book hero movie. Now you're back like a hungry kitten looking for more. And Rob Downey's metaphorically waiting at his doorstep for you to come back so he can give you some more (movies, I mean). Maybe I should stop with the metaphors. All I'm trying to get at is this movie totally dominates over the first one.
Having one villain was cool. But how about fighting a whole army of robots programmed to kill you? WIth Tony Stark, saddle up. This is gonna be a crazy ride.
My legs hurt by the end because I had been leaning on my seat the entire time! The action is more intense, the comedy really sticks out and everything really seems to bunker down and get into serious comic book entertainment mode. And the looming question of will Pepper and Tony kiss or not still bites at you. Are they going to make us wait until 2013 to see them kiss? Hmm.
DEFINITELY if you saw the first one YOU MUST SEE THIS! And after speaking to some people, even if you haven't seen the first one you still catch on. You won't be sitting there going "Huh?" for 2 hours.
There's more of everything from the first movie (in a good way) in this, and yes, Robert Downey Jr. is unquestionably HOT in this! ^.^
