Nowhere near as good as Ironman 1

Rating: 3/10 (8 April 2012)

The script was weak, the acting predictable, the action reminiscent of The Transformers and the soundtrack, which had promised a whole lot of AC/DC featured exactly TWO songs from them.
Other than that, I suppose it was okay entertainment.
While Ironman was not particularly highbrow stuff, the script at least was pretty good, and the plot moved right along.
Ironman 2, however seemed to be all over the place. The beginning/intro was WAAAAAAY too long and very boring. The plot came and went, editing was not particularly tight, the action sequences were over the top and after a while I was hoping the movie would self destruct.
I saw no point (other than eye candy) for the introduction of the kung-foo fighting girl, just an excuse to see a pretty girl dressed in a skintight outfit kicking ass - did NOT really help the plot.
Ivan-with-a-grudge character could have worked, but the writing would have needed to be way better.
I'm glad that I didn't go to the theatre to see this, would have cost a lot more and I would have been even more irritated.
So if you like to see a bunch clownasses blowing things up without a particularly good story, you may enjoy this.
