Iron Man 2 ÷ Spider Man 3 = 0 !

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2013)

This is one of the worst action movies I have ever seen. It has the longest talking ever spoken in an action. And - to make it worse - very few action too. Review the action with me: the appearance of the evil man, Ivan Vanko, in the stadium, the fight between Iron Man and his friend, and the climactic fight. This is by any mean NOT ENOGUH, especially in the presence of this huge amount of talking, which made me feel that I was watching a boring and dry chick flick!
Originally, it seems stuffed. The title character has many conflicts: 1) Ivan Vanko. 2) Arms dealer Justin Hammer. 3) His sickness. 4) His fight with the government. 5) His fights with his love. And the way these conflicts were treated, required him to spend most of the time talking, not in action, to be more like the first windbag superhero!
Furthermore, the script has idiot points. For instances: in the stadium, the evil man was violently hit by a car, twice, and though didn't suffer any injury later??!!, Iron Man's friend, Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, fights with him while wearing a super suit, then simply "steals" it to the army, just like that (How absurd!), let alone the matter of the father who hided the secret of the metal which his son would need after 30 years through a design of a city-which was so far-fetched and forced!
The action infuriated me. Its choreography was primitive. It begins to ends shortly after, with the easiest solutions. There is not even one satisfying action sequence. Regrettably, it leads to believe that Iron Man is such a weak superhero, with no real powers!
What saddened me more was the many talents and qualities around. The movie is a very good looking. It's fraught with strong CGI (hyped a bit, but generally strong), cozy and richly elegant cadres, and radiating image; where everything is beautifully glowing, from the Iron suit to the drinking glasses. (Robert Downey Jr.), (Gwyneth Paltrow), (Don Cheadle), (Sam Rockwell) and (Scarlett Johansson) are fine actors. But they were so wasted, without any catchy roles. See (Rockwell)'s character; he wasn't any interesting or funny. Instead, he seemed like somebody who's on massive cocaine, and acts annoyingly due to it. And I hated (Johansson). She was something moves in terribly tight dresses, and that's it. This is why (Mickey Rourke), with half distinct character, was the one who stole the show, despite looking deformed by many failed plastic surgeries!
For its whole time, Iron Man 2 (2010) made me weary and uneasy. It reminded me with Spider Man 3 (2007), and I kept asking which one is worse? Actually, both have stuffed script, many conflicts, and boring pace. And while Spider-Man 3 is overlong with much action, Iron Man 2 is shorter yet with less action. So, in the end, they are equally bad!
If I have one thing to say for Iron Man 2's makers, then it'll be: When you will learn that action movies have to be about action?!
