Yes I think this is better than the first movie
SCREENPLAY/DIALOUGE: The screen play or dialouge wasn't too special. I give it a 5/10, it wasn't like I was writing down the quotes, yet it wasnt a horrible dialouge
ACTING: I give the acting a 8/10, Mickey Rourke was great with the russian accent. Robert Downey JR. never dissapoints. Jon Farveau added a little comedy. Scralett Johansen was a suprise, I though she played the role good. That Patrow lady was ok, I don't know why she was screaming at the race car scene, other than that nothing really special, but SAM ROCKWELL, ROCKED IT. This guy is awesome and he shows it in this, I was so glad he was in this because he is the man and pretty much stole the movie. And yes I know Don Cheadle was in it, he fit the role very well, just was a little corney
STORY: I give the story a 6/10, it was all centered on Tony Stark's idiotic ways, I was dissapointed he wasn't as funny as he was in the first one.
Overall I liked it better than the first, a bigger cast, more characters, better action, and much more interesting than the first.
8/10
