Is this a comedy or an action movie

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2010)

I saw this movie just last night. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, I did, but for me this should be an action movie but there's a little too much comedy for my liking. I laughed a few times during the movie but my fellow movie-goers where laughing a lot more. The acting is not great. The first Iron man had better acting. Gwyneth Paltrow did a poor job this time around, Jon Favreau, you're the director stay in the director's chair, made the mistake of putting himself too much in the movie, Scarlett Johansson was a disappointment in this one but that may be do to the fact that she is using looking amazing in the movie and that may makeup for her inferior skills (she looked terrible, stay blonde), Don Cheadle is horrible in comedies and pretty great in drama/suspense unfortunately Iron man is not either of those, RDJr does fine as Tony just like the first movie, Mickey Rourke doesn't get much screen time in this one but does a nice job as one of the villains in the movie, never been much of a Samuel Jackson hater but in this movie he is not the right guy for the role. After seeing all this it's a wonder I rated the movie so high but it's the story and the action scenes that help this movie. If you like action and the comic book genre then this movie will satisfy your needs. If you don't like it then skip this movie.
