When my friend suggested we go see Iron Man 2 this weekend, I was a little skeptical. Having not seen the first one, I wasn't exactly excited. Still, she sat me down to watch the first one, and as soon as it was over I demanded we go see the second. It far surpassed my expectations, and left me rivited in my seatt. The effects were amazing, and it was both action packed and emotionally valid. I would recommend going whole heartedly, as well as sticking around after the credits for an added treat :)
