While the ultimate goal is to separate you from your money, this sequel has two other reasons to exist. Firstly, it has a standalone plot, which has too much Paltrow and too much Rockwell, both of whom bring nothing to the table. Conversely, Mickey Rourke says very little and is both more appealing and more interesting than either of the other two.
The second reason Iron Man 2 exists is to further advance The Avengers, which is again designed to separate you from even more of your money.It's ironic that the part which should feel like an intrusion, and is in reality an unfinished story, is more entertaining than the main part of the film, which descends into an obligatory explosion-heavy finale.
Once again, Robert Downey Jr proves to be the best cast Superhero in the entire Marvel universe.

All right....I hate to agree but I did like it better the 2nd time around too.
I liked the Sam Rockwell part of the story. He appears to be just another Tony Stark, rich, smug and an all around douche but turns out, with the same power, couldn't have been more different.
Halfway through the finale I noticed it reminded me Star Wars: The Clone Wars....turns out it was the same guy that designed it. Who knew?
