decent second installment though not as interesting as the first one

Rating: 6/10 (8 May 2010)

Iron Man 2 didn't degenerate all all into an episode of Transformers 3, but the ones expecting a story as enjoyable as the original will be a bit disappointed. This follow-up to the 2008 success has some problems with the plot, I'm not saying it's a bad movie but certainly worse than its prequel. There are a lot of scenarios but none of them explaining what's really happening. Furthermore the action scenes we have aren't excellent at all, the storytelling is amusing and entertaining, acting performances up to the situation as well but the whole product is less convincing than Iron Man 1. I'd certainly recommend it but without great expectations from the viewer.
