(I wish I could give this movie 4 1/2 stars) This movie was just as entertaining and exciting as the original. It is only as good as the original because there was alot of build up (maybe too much), but the wait was worth it each time. The only real knock I have on this film is Mickey Rourke, the villian, was barely in the film. And, before you jumped down my throat I realize that like the first one, Stark's worst enemy is himself. I just thought maybe there would be more of clear antagonist, thats all. All that being said go see the film; and wait through the 7 minutes of credits for an awesome surprise for nerds and geeks out there.
