Iron Man 2 (2010)
Better than the original. The story is a lot more complex and involving than the first. Action is pretty good, and effects are great. Favreau has learned a thing or two about making an action movie since making the first one. Nice cast all around. Rourke is impressive.

(500) Days of Summer (2009)
