Not a block buster but still highly recommended

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2010)

The movies has got some strong performances by a star studded cast and impressive special effects but fails to live up to its prequel. The plot of the film is a bit uneven and it does not seamlessly blend to make it a gripping entertainer. Robert Downey Jr is excellent as ever but did not have many wise-cracks in his dialogue delivery as in the prequel. Also some of the sequences around Robery getting drunk in the iron man suit and him sitting in the middle of the large do-nut seemed a bit un-necessary. I loved Micky Rourke in his role but Don Cheadle does not come anywhere close to Terrence Howard in his role. Insptie of some of the flaws in the storyline of the film the movie will not at all bore anyone and is a fast paced, action packed and a highly watchable comic-hero popcorn flick.
