Could have been so much better

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2010)

I was a huge fan of the first movie and was really looking forward to this film.
There is no reason one should know anything about the source material for a film to understand what is going on, which means the script was poorly written. I knew nothing about Ironman and enjoyed and completely understood the first film.
There are characters introduced that do not further the storyline at all. Also, the villains in the movie do not have clear motivations. It was all just surface violence for CGI techs could show off.
By biggest disappointment was that much of the science in this science fiction movie did not make enough sense for me to believe it. Example... the whips sliced cars in pieces, but did very little damage to Ironman's suit, that was already riddled with bullet holes. Coupled with the poorly written screenplay made for a disappointing night at the movies for me.
