Just like the graphics in the original Tron were ahead of its time in 1982, the special effects in this movie are simply phenomenal. There's a LOT going on in this movie, and while you don't have the see the original to appreciate the sequel, it does give you some "inside" information that most patrons probably will not get. This was my first IMAX 3D movie, and it was well worth the one-time splurge.
Picking up about 6 months after the first movie, Iron Man 2 continues the story of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and his rise to fame after letting the world know he is Iron Man. I don't want to give away the movie, but do yourself a favor and stay until AFTER the credits roll for a teaser of the next Marvel franchise that will hit the screen!
