I finally went to the multiplex to see "Iron Man 2" this afternoon (and yes, I stayed all the way through the end of the credits to see the little bonus scene, having learned my lesson about leaving too soon from the first "Iron Man" movie), and I'm very glad I saw it on the big screen.

Maybe it wasn't quite as emotionally involving as the first film, but I loved the banter and Don Cheadle as the new Rhodey, and there was quite a nice insight into some of what makes Tony Stark tick (or not tick) at several points.

I'd definitely recommend it, if you're one of the three other people in the world who haven't seen it (there were four, but I saw it today).

Glad to meet one of the other three!

(Actually, my mom told me that I should probably amend my claim to 'one of the three other people under 50 years old who haven't yet seen it', since she and dad and all their over-70 friends are content to 'give it a miss'!)

I hate to admit it, but I was downright bored through the middle of Ironman 2. I just couldn't buy Mickey Rourke as a physicist, even with my suspension of disbelief set to an action movie 11. His character just looked smelly ;-P

Yeah, I had a hard time buying Rourke as a scientist until they finally filled in the back story about his having served 15 years in a Russian prison, where he'd picked up the tattoos and the scars and the grimy persona (though he didn't look much like an intellectual even in the picture of him before he went to prison). Oh, well!
