With this movie being a sequel, I figured it would be entertaining but not great. I actually loved it, just as much as the first Iron Man movie, possibly more. Robert Downey Jr. was brilliant as he always is, as was Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle, and Scarlett Johansson. With a cast like that you can't go wrong. Throw in Samuel L. Jackson to top it all off. I can't wait for the Avengers movie and Iron Man 3. I'll probably go see it at least once more before it leaves theaters.
This movie did not have much of a story to it at all. And what story was there was flawed. For instance, Anakin was never a master and would never have been given a padawan. But whatever. The padawan he was assigned was reckless and opinionated, kind of like him. And it was interesting to see the two interact and develop their relationship. That was the only real story I found. Everything else in this movie was nothing more than a vehicle for the fighting. It seemed like a lot of violence to subject a young child too. Clone soldiers getting blown away left and right. I also expected better animation for a feature film. Overall, I enjoyed it because I am a star wars fan. But unless you are too, you probably won't get your money's worth.
