Yes, I finally saw it.
Six months after the events of the first Iron Man, Tony Stark's life has become more tense than ever. Now that his secret has been revealed, everyone wants in on the Iron Man technology, whether for profit or power. But for the Russian, Ivan Vanko, it's revenge. Tony suits up with his new sidekick, played by Don Cheadle, to face his most challenging battle. But he has another problem on his mind: the shrapnel in his chest is causing him blood toxicity.
Nothing could beat the first "Iron Man," but this is a pretty good sequel. The first was definitely more original, but there were plenty of entertaining battle scenes, which I'm sure was what most fans went to see it for, but there was also pretty good acting that was the top of the critics' minds, believe it or not. After trying so hard to find a time to see this in the theater, I won't waste a minute to see Iron Man 3.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some language (the worst of which is bleeped out).
Three stars (out of four) for the uncomplicated but not disappointing "Iron Man 2."

IronMan and WarMachine. Aren't they cool. I already have seen the IronMan2 and it was cool. But one thing that is my concern is that the climax of the movie was not found in the middle but instead it was in the last part where it was almost the end of the movie. it somehow gives me an impact of thirst however it was good.
