I liked it. Granted, it wasn’t as “fun” as the first movie — the character-based elements of the film were a lot heavier. I did appreciate how Tony’s self-destructive tendencies were given highlight, though. I’d probably say the character-driven parts of the movie were stronger than the action parts, which might not be satisfying for everyone, but I thought it worked well.

I didn’t care as much for Cheadle over Howard, but he did a fair job. Mutual agreement on the most annoying thing in it for comic fans – Justin Hammer as a total wimp Tony Stark-wannabe. And I have to agree with Stark on Johannson, even undercover – “I want one.”
