I would give this movie a 3.5 stars if I could. As all sequels made these days seem to fall short of the first movie made in the series, Iron Man 2 is no exception. It was fun to watch, but left me feeling they missed out on a big part of Tony Stark's character - his wit. And I may be saying this because I watched Iron Man 1 in the theater directly before Iron Man 2 so comparing the two is a little easier. There were a few moments that made you chuckle, but for the most part you sit silent in the theater. They weren't as great at explaining newer characters or plot schematics. However there were great action scenes, and I like that they played on the dynamics between Pepper and Tony - though I still think they could have done a better job. ScarJo was pretty cool, and Mickey Rourke was kinda hard to understand during most of the movie. Was not impressed with Don Cheadle's interpretation of Rhoades. Very flat. Undynamic. And Sam Rockwell needed to to work on his characterization a bit more as well. One minute his character is this, the next minute it was that. I dont' know. Hollywood tried, and trust me it could have been worse that it actually was. Just be sure to stay after the credits for a short continuance of the story!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
