Personally I would say that Iron Man 1&2 are equal

It was not bad, but half way through the movie I was wondering what was going on. I mean, was there a story or just a mix of random adventures through the life of Mr. Stark?

Plus, worst final battle ever.

Not as good as the first but it was still a great movie.

Spider-Man is still the king :)

My favorite movie, so far this year . Better than the first.

It wasn't as good as the first, but I still enjoyed Iron man 2

it was ok movie
not as awesome as the 1st one

I thought it was a bad movie... too many jokes - no matter if your loved one is in risk of dying, there's always time for a smartass joke! - , a terrible villain and a Power Rangers type of ending - lol at those robots, identical as those Power Rangers useless enemies before the boss!

So why would you guys say it isn't as good as the first. Please don't say something like "it wasn't as refreshing" or something else along those lines. Thanks

I thought it was great. Some of the Justin Hammer scenes went on for a tad too long, but I loved the movie.

Ultimately, I judge if a movie is good or bad depending on if I wasted my money and/or time watching it.
With Iron Man 2, I was completely satisfied.

As for the ending, it was a logical one. If that combined blast ****SPOILER*** blew up some of Stark's house, Vanko or whatever his name is (who wasn't wearing his helmet), I would expect a genius like Stark and a "I'm on the same page" Rhodes to do it again.

I enjoyed Iron Man 2, but I don't think it's quite as good as the first. It felt like certain parts could have been explained a lot better, and yes, the final fight could have been better as well.
Overall though, it was a good movie. I don't regret seeing it at all.
