No offence to people who like the comic, but to me it was a disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2010)

I have seen the first Iron Man and rather enjoyed it. I did hear they made this one and saw the trailer. I must say, trailers are very deceiving.
The story started off OK, but then we saw the main villain (Roark, who didn't have much dialogue through out the movie). We sort of knew why he was being the villain, but we didn't know anything else about him.
The action scenes just ended way too quickly and the rest of the film seemed it was just about Stark acting like an arrogant prat, which I thought got very slow.
The acting performances were pretty good, but Scarlett Johansen performance just kept saying to me "look how beautiful I am". But the rest of the cast did well.
There is also this big commotion about the ACDC soundtrack released, I only counted 1 or 2 songs played in the film, that was it. They didn't even play Black Sabbath's Iron Man at all, which I thought was annoying because it's a great song.
All in all, it was average and nowhere near as good as the first movie. I did hear people liked this because of the comic, so to the people who liked it, I'm sorry if being a bit too strong.
