   I'm a big fan of Downey but even he couldn't bring this film to life. His character, arrogant yet funny in the first installment was simply just arrogant this time round. At least Paltrow and Johansson provided some enjoyment and the hope that the film might continue just that little bit longer. Cheadle also at times outshone Downey's own character. The action scenes were enjoyable though. However, even more annoying than the lacklustre script was the feeling that the ending had suddenly been tacked on and then was over far too soon… Expand

   I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the predecessor of this Iron Man franchise. Well it was not exactly cerebral as The Dark Knight (its Summer opponent of 2008), it was fast-paced and indeed had enough action to fill its run time. I wish I could say the same about the sequel, Iron Man 2. What was a franchise known for its action, is now a dull plot-developing movie. The majority of the movie focused on the foolishness of Robert Downey's character. Although well-acted, I wish there was more "Iron Man" than of Tony Stark. The final scene of the movie does go back to it comic-book roots with the duo of War Machine & Iron Man, but it feels empty because there was not much to support it. It is an acceptable and somewhat enjoyable blockbuster, but I could not get over the mindless drama and lack of action.… Expand

   I found this film to be highly disappointing. When I saw the first Iron Man, I was blown away by it. It was an epic, action packed adventure. Which included an excellent, easy to follow script and a great, entertaining story. One of the best super hero movies I had ever seen. This movie however couldn’t be more opposite from it's prequel. It was an overall lackluster and dull experience. The movie didn’t have the epic, action/adventure feel the last film had. This was brought on by a combination of a dull, hard to follow story, a poorly written script and little action that was moderately exciting at most. The only bright spot I saw in this movie was the return of Robert Downy Jr..Who played the role of Iron Man just as well as he did in the first movie.. Overall this movie just isn’t worth it. It definitely isn’t worth expensive movie ticket price(I really wish I could get my $8 back….). If you absolutely want to see it, I would highly recommend to wait and download or rent it when it comes out at most.… Expand
