The billionaire superhero, Tony Stark now returns in "Iron Man 2!" Another marvelous production by Marvel Studios. I was not expecting much because I know sequel often screws up, like "Transformers 2." However, "Iron Man 2" is totally worth waiting, paying and watching. Haha. It is not more thrilling compared to the first one (premiered in 2008) yet it is still awesome.
Back then, we just wanted to say hello, to introduce ourselves. This time around, we want to say thank you. - Jon Favreau (Director)
There are plenty of talking scenes but not crappy like "Transformers 2" had. The fun starts after Tony Stark gets on the racing track. Furthermore, "Iron Man 2" have actions, explosions and with that both, comes great visual effects.
"Iron Man 2" opens 2010 summer movie season in an exciting way for me. Hehe. Anyway, I'm not having any movies to watch in May so I might watch it again. I regret for not watching "Iron Man (2008)" more than once!
Besides just enjoying actions in this movie, there are lessons to be learned too. Always keep your secrets hidden even from your best friend, Haha! I felt sorry for Tony Stark after James Rhodes took the Iron Man suit, caused some destructions and then flies off to give the suit to the military.
Another lesson is no matter how successful you are, always remain humble and just because you are the best today, it does not mean no one can come close to you in the next day.
Tony Stark (casting by Robert Downey Jr) and his relationship with Pepper Potts (casting by Gwyneth Paltrow) have grown deeper. James Rhodes had been replaced by another actor and then, there are few new characters.
The story line is okay but the ending was not satisfying. Whiplash (wearing powerful armor suit) comes for final battle with Iron Man, I thought it's going to be the most epic part of the whole movie but it ends "simple."
Just about two weeks after release, Marvel Studio president (Kevin Feige) happy with the results of "Iron Man 2" and decided to make the next sequel. Currently scheduled for 2013 release and there's already contract with Robert Downey Jr.
Rating: 8/10
Don't be too attached to things. Learn to let go. - Justin Hammer (repeated back to him by Ivan Vanko)

As a sequel, it has what Iron Man shone in but amidst all the action, there did not seem to be much plot build up. Much of the film I also felt like I was watching an extended trailer for The Avengers.
