I liked it. Iron Man isn't one of my favourite characters, but they did this pretty well. It was very entertaining.
First off, the bad guy - Vanko. He was awesome, and one of the best villains I've ever seen. They gave him all the best lines, and whoever thought whips could be so classy. What a brilliant character. The scene at the monaco grand prix was one of my all-time favourites.
Iron Man himself is okay. He irritated me with the same things that irritated me in the first movie - continuous snarkiness that just seems to never end, and long drawn out monologs to himself that seem to end in mumbling. But he was okay, and I could get over it. And ugh... he's dying AGAIN. I mean seriously, can we have a fully functional protagonist for once.
The women were cool. Love Pepper and Black Widow, they were awesome. There were some nice allusions to Captain America and Thor.
8/10

Perpetuates Hollywood's complete idiocy with respect to anything Russian.

I don't imagine I need to tell you they do the same with most other cultures. *NM*

I know. On the other hand, as movies become more global they should improve on that.

Why don't they just do like Team America and Durka Durka their way through the language. *NM*

Yeah, because Hollywood invented Vanko, Natasha, and Chekhov.

You bring up good points about Hollywood's idiocy generally. I don't disagree.

I didn't really mind Vanko wanting Stark dead, although it was pretty silly.
