Jon Favreau and Marvel set the bar pretty high with the first movie and while this movie never quite reaches the lofty heights of its predecessor, it is still a worthy follow up to the original. The returning cast members, Downey, Paltrow, Betany and Jackson, exceed expectations as do their new castmates Scarlet Johansen, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell (who was original considered to play Stark, now playing his rival) and Don Cheadle filling in for Terrence Howard. If you liked the first movie, definitely see this one and brace yourself, cuz there's more to come from Marvel and Iron Man
