"Iron Man 2" Movie Review

"Iron Man 2" is the perfect way to kick off the summer of 2010 movie season which, frankly, is something I didn't anticipate I'd be saying. Why? Because the trailers for "Iron Man 2" turned me off.

What You Need to Know About "Iron Man 2"

2008's "Iron Man" proved audiences will turn out for superheros who aren't named Batman or Superman. Iron Man did so well in theaters that greenlighting a sequel was a no-brainer.
