Typically with these films the sequel trumps the original, largely because the first in the series is just weaker, using a lot of time for set-up. I will say in this case though Iron Man one was such a great movie that, even with it's anti-climatic ending, it was tough to top. Jon did a very good job but the story simply wasn't better. Stark's character just did not have the arc that he did on the first flick. But Iron Man 2 was still a super solid sequel.
