Good sequel, not a great movie

I liked the movie and expected lots of action, but have several comments:
1) Too much violence even for Iron Man
2) The story line leaves way too many holes
3) Plot is way too silly to believe even for this series
4) Great addition of Scarlett Johansson

They needed to spend more time developing the plot, and less time fighting and blowing things up...that is always the trouble with sequels. The directors/producers think they have to increase the amount of "action", but they always over do it. Transformers is a great example.
The movie is entertaining. The story line is incredible, but there are so many holes and impossible "fix it in 1second" solutions that it's not what it could have been.
Overall, I was disappointed, because my expectations were too high. The first movie was at least believable enough to get really into. This movie...well, there were several parts I laughed at a dramatic point, because the "fix/solution" was just too silly. You'll know what I mean if you see the movie...
But hey, like i said, it was entertaining. I give it a 3.5 stars.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

S/B Best Picture

I took my son to this movie with an expectation of it being pointed more to kids. Although my 11 year old son loved it, this is a movie that covers all the bases. I was more than pleasantly surprised that it had adult story/plot appeal as well. The 3-D format was very well done, and managed to immerse me in what would probably have been a less than believable movie. Some scenes were too cartoonish, like the chanting natives circled around the special tree, but almost all of the movie seemed believable because of the 3-D effects. A note to any holdouts: You have to see this movie in the theater. I’m not sure if the 3-D effects would be anywhere near as believable even on a large screen HD TV.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
