Iron Man 2 kicked ass (spoilers possibly)
Highly enjoyable - I thought it was even better than the first. Anyone else agree? Disagree?

That scene where Tony Stark gets hauled before the Senate sub-committee is gold.

1. I thought it was great too. About on-par with the first one...
...though I think the first one was a little better. That's not Iron Man 2's fault though - they're setting up a very, VERY big story that pays off in 2 years. I did think the action sequences were even better than the first movie, and I loved how they continued to expand the universe of characters and events...

Did you stay until the end of the credits for the final scene?

2. I thought the first was better but both overly patriotic and shallow
but that's just me. I liked this movie way better (and Batman Begins/Dark Knight superior superhero flicks to Iron Blah IMO)-->

3. Dark Knight is one of my favorites.
They showed a preview of Christopher Nolan's new flick - it looks pretty bad ass.

4. I really enjoyed the first Iron Man, but I think the second one suffered
from a very slow start - I honestly thought the first hour really dragged. It got quite a bit better after Samuel L. Jackson showed up, but up until that point, I was disappointed.

6. It's less bloated than most superhero sequels
Downey is good as always. Rockwell was FANTASTIC.

Scarlett looked magnificent.

Loved Garry Shandling as the Senator.

It was decent. C+/B-

7. My family wanted to take me to a super expensive Sunday brunch for Mother's Day.
I opted to go see this as a family instead. Much more affordable and exponentially more entertaining, besides my man whips up awesome Sunday brunches.

Loved them wicked whips!
