There are "chick flicks" and there are "guy flicks"; "Iron Man 2" is definitely the latter. This film has everything you're looking for in a summer blockbuster: action, eye candy, good guys, villains, and tense moments. While the plot is not going to win any awards, the action is virtually non-stop and the fun keeps audiences engaged across the more than two hours of film.
After the first Batman movie of this new series, I expected a good followup - and I was not disappointed! I saw the Imax version, which was a little too loud at points but made the film appear larger than life. I was surprised at the violence and only a PG-13 rating, although I didn't lose interest at all in the 2 1/2 hours. I'm sure there will be another, and I'm guessing it will involve Catwoman, since they alluded to that in this movie.
