Astonishingly Overrated

This movie just barely misses being a full-fledged bomb due to Robert Downey Jr. and especially Mickey Rourke's performances. Talky, predictable, dare I say only "average" effects work by ILM? This time, 22 year old, 5'5", 115 lb Scarlet Johansson dons the laughably cliched (at this point) black catsuit and (surprise!) single-handedly leaves 20 hulking trained and armed guards in her wake... all while striking equally cliched "sexy" action poses. Sam Jackson seem out of place in his role, just like Star Wars. He needs to stick with serious acting roles, these silly comic book roles are hurting his mojo. There are too many extraneous characters and story lines, the suspense never builds (you never feel like Tony Stark's life is ever really in jeopardy), the film feels longer than it is (never good) - which means it has its share of boring spots, and the final battle is underwhelming and anticlimactic. - Sad as this villain had real potential, like Doc Octopus in Spiderman II. Really, Iron Man II is a mess but Rourke and Robert Downey Jr.'s performances "save Iron Man" more than any new power source for his high-tech heart.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
