Iron Man 2: Review – Good but not Great

Watched Iron Man 2 last night and it didn’t quite live up to the hype. Half way through the movie, I leaned over to Jessica and whispered, “It’s tough to make a good Sequel,” and that’s how I felt about the movie overall. Make sure you stay and watch all the credits because there is a final scene afterwards that hints at what’s to come :) .

I give it 4/5 stars (Good).

The good:

  • Action-packed with some sweet special effects
  • Great acting
  • Fairly clean (not much language, sex)
  • It’s Iron Man, so of course it’s a lot of fun to watch
  • Good humor

The bad:

  • Weak plot
  • Predictable plot – I thought that the villain was way too predictable
  • A little too much “I’m dying and I feel sorry for myself” going on… (too much destructive behavior)

I recommend you go see it, but you probably won’t be dying to see it a second time.

    I would not recommend staying through the credits. All you see is Thor’s hammer, and if you follow Marvel movie news at all, you know there’s a Thor movie coming out.

      Ya it’s nothing huge but if you have the time and paid $10 to see the movie, ya might as well stick around for the last scene. :)
