3D gave me a headache. It was like an old drive-in "B" movie. Very disappointing, the first was much better. Cage's crazy antics were too spastic, and the story was too thin. The boy's character wasn't developed enough to care about the outcome. Too much emphasis on fire and FX and that made the movie unbalanced. A disappointing waste of time.
I enjoyed the movie and once again it was due to Robert Downey, Jr. The action was great, the quick wit was good too. I did tire of the super hero angst. Don't wrestle with life issues, just be my hero!! I like the addition of Don Cheadle but missed the demeanor of Terrence Howard. Pepper Potts was much better this time. I like the sassiness of her character. Lots of other clever jokes and innuendo to make you laugh. Allusions to future movies make me happy! Stay and watch ALL of the credits. Go see this movie!!
