Saw this yesterday. I came with the same expectations brought by the first movie. Overall the film was decent, but it didn't quite feel as good as the first. I noticed the audience was a lot quieter in this movie. The plot was okay to me, it sort of felt like the movie was rushed somewhat. Iron Man 2 was probably in production longer than the first, and it sort of shows. For one I thought the introduction to the villains wasn't done as well as the first film. Black Widow was badass.

The movie still had its funny moments, though and the after credits scene gave us a glimpse of the next Marvel film for the upcoming year.

I give Iron Man 2 a 7/10.
