Won't comment on it too much now, but got to see the employee screening on Wednesday (I work @ Universal Studios), and after being totally let down by the first one, I can honestly say that I was NOT disappointed by this one. Go out and see it. Very well done, the CGI wasn't over the top, and man was it action packed!
Do NOT pass, TRUST me on this one. There is NO similarities in this one and the first one. If you liked Iron Man, you will LOVE this one. It's much more action packed, and the story is very well developed. Iron Man (well Downey Jr) makes a cameo, and you also get a sneak preview of a new super villain that comic enthusiast are familiar with, that will soon make his mark in movies to come. If you watch it, and didn't like it, I'll tattoo a picture of Cronaldo on my chest..................I'm that confident that you'll like it.
