The special effects in this are great and the plot is complex yet easy to follow. There is one scene before a giant fight destroying Iron Man's house where Iron Man is extremely drunk and doing stupid things. There is one big kiss and only one part where we see Scarlett Johansen (I know I spelled it wrong...) changes for a shirt time (nothing but her in her bra and her legs are shown). There are many violent scenes but they aren't not realistic enough to be ridiculous but not so realistic as to scare you. Tony is a narcissist and bad role model most of the time. The villain, Ivan, hangs two guards (we don't see there chest and up but we see their legs dangling and know it isn't pretty) in one scene and the scene where he semi-believably breaks out of jail. The most scary parts are when Ivan is going after Iron Man because he attacks Tony in public places with crowds; one attack is at a race car track where some innocent racers are attacked and one is at a giant exposition with tons of people. Don't worry... there's just enough explosions. In the end teamwork helps Iron Man--who's had his ups and downs at this point--save the day. A couple petty bad words are said but s--t is said once. Altogether, it's a fantastic and entertaining movie which keeps your eyes looking up and keeps you fascinated. Just don't bring the toddlers.

My husband and I took all of our kids (12, 7 and 5) to see this movie. I was a great big "iffy" on my youngest, but he's tired of being left behind and he begged to see it. We relented with the plan that we would leave if he was overwhelmed. Our 12 and 7 year old loved it, the 5 year old was bored, but hung in and claimed to love it when we left. It's full of combat, weapons, mass destruction and scary situations, but it was all fast moving and I didn't find it terrifying (like Batman). I did have to talk my little one through the first scene with Whiplash (Ivan) at the race - I reminded him it was pretend and assured him that Tony would "be okay". We did take the two younger kids to the bathroom for the scene with the hanging guards (as recommended by other parent raters). As far as the sexual stuff, there is definitely innuendo but it was clever, earned big laughs from our audience, and I didn't feel uncomfortable at any point. As far as objectifying women, the value of Tony Stark as a role model, and product placement messages - um, really? It's a summer superhero blockbuster movie - what else would you expect? We love this type of movie, and I thought this one was great. After seeing it, I would place this on par with the Toby Maguire Spiderman movies as far as the degree of scariness/violence but definitely racier. I also thought it was lighter than the first Iron Man. I'd rate it one of the better sequels I've seen and would totally recommend it to anyone who likes this genre. Whether or not kids are ready for this movie is up to their parents (and not the lady who said she couldn't even enjoy the movie because she was so worried about the kids in the audience).

Typical superhero violence with a villain bent on revenge. This had sexual humor too. BUT THIS WAS NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST! The first was MUCH better.

I hate this movie. I enjoyed Iron Man, but this one is horrible. Tony Stark/Iron Man is just egocentric in this movie. Sure, that's because he thinks that he will die. But why base a whole superhero movie around it nonetheless a movie based on a popular Marvel Comics superhero? People say that there is a lot of action, but there is none. There is only three major fights. The second major battle just happens to be between a drunken Tony Stark and his buddy, both in battle suits. The main antagonist is horrible. The villain gets defeated with one blow from both Tony Stark and his friend. One blow not for a henchman, but for the main antagonist. How would people like it if Joker got defeated in one hit in The Dark Knight? It's crazy. Three dumb action scenes, an egocentric Iron Man that acts like a total jerk, and the fact that they can't even mention that the woman spy's code name is Black Widow. Why not mention her code name. In the comics, she's a part of a superhero group called the Ultimate Avengers. I also hate that dumb guy that hired the antagonist. How could he possibly think that an evil mastermind would follow his orders? That's like Joker or Lex Luthor being bossed around by someone who isn't powerful in any way. When the opening started with Iron Man dancing with a bunch of women in front of a crowd, I was like oh no, this movie will be horrible.

Both boys loved it, we purchased DVD when it came out. Heavy on action, light on story. Some of the details of the story got lost on the kids but they loved the action.

I saw the movie with a couple of friends and and their moms.The movie was violent in alot of diffrent ways with blowing stuff up like cars and windows throwing people around alot.Showing off guns as mentioned as a weapon.The movie was an awesome movie like one of the best of 2010!But violence wasn't the only problem.Somewhat alot of swearing was going on just not enough to leave.They said a** a few times but they mentioned The name of God in like 'Oh God'.They said s*** b*** h*** also I counted 14 swear words but there maybe more I am just not completly sure.Tony ( Iron Man) drank beer and wine and at one point I think he was drunk.Ladies didn't dress appropriate for a conversation but really you couldn't say it was too bad like all you saw was their bellies and backs.But it wasn't all innapropriate they had positive messages just to have fun.Violence and swearing was basically the only problem to it. Sci-fi horror too.All I got to say is it's an awesome and amazing movie and it's worth watching.

This movie was really boring. Scarlett Johansson was pretty but, there was nothing to see in this movie and it just seemed to drag on (even though its just two hours). I don't like comics or Iron Man but, the first movie was better and less boring.

Its typical Iron Man. Doesn't have anything really bad. I mean, the majority of the sensuality in the movie is stuff that's thrown into commercials all the time. The violence is fine for the rating. Might even be fine for PG.

Its a great comic book to movie adaption.The acting is good enough and the storyline reads just like a comic book which is what sells the movie. The action is intense but not over whelming.
