This is let down from the first Iron Man

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2013)

If you are reading this I'm going to assume you know Iron Man and saw the first movie or at least know of the comic from Marvel.
Blah blah blah. Iron Man is typical and Downey Jr is his a brilliant actor; though in this movie, he isn't as sharp as the first movie.
The action and CG is as to be expected and yes there are some scenes in the movie which I didn't like but that isn't what caused the low rating.
The problem is that Rourke's character is a complete travesty. He is awkward, out of place and not suitable to be a villain for Iron Man. What is his super power? Oh yeah, he doesn't have one.
Besides the fact that he gets slammed by a car, not once, not twice, but three times in to a concrete railing and he doesn't have internal bleeding, broken pelvis and ruptured organs???? What were the writers thinking?
I think Mickey is a brilliant actor. He was amazing in The Wrestler, but this script is bloody awful and as a villain the entire movie is pulled down to a level of unbelievability which it does not recover. None of Downey's off the cuff jokes, the fun action or the CG helps.
Casting - 1 Acting - .5 Script (-1) Directing (-1) Special effects - 1 Believability - 0 Continuity - 0 Fun - 2
