Weak. I saw it last night at midnight I was so pumped to see this movie. Not nearly as good as the first one. Maybe my expectations were too high (especially after the first movie and The Dark Knight). I'm curious to see what others think... And there isn't enough Scarlett Johansson.
Ditto Maroon. The Movie Phone guy, a critic I rather like, says the movie is fun if you keep your expectations under control. It's not as good as the first one and the filmmakers seem a little confused as to the plot. I'll see it, but I'm glad of the warning. The first was such a pleasant surprise.
there was enough character development to make the movie good. I liked it a lot. My wife liked it a lot too. His particle accelerator was amusing, especially with the captain america shield to help level it.
Every scene with SLJ was slow as hell. Many parts of the movie seemed to drag. Just seemed everytime they did those seems to help set up the upcoming Avengers movie that it killed the pace and style of the movie. Incredible hulk sucked as well. So not sure why the heck I would really want to see that movie. Especially if iron man isn't played by RDJ, which is what Iron Man 2 seemed to imply.
Saw it tonight. Meh. It seems a little in love with itself. The rapid chatter between RDJ and the other characters lacked wit. The plot is something of a mess, I guess because they are trying to set up something else. No interest in seeing another one.
I was disappointed with the first one and hoped for better with the second. In my opinion it wasn't bad, but it wasn't better either.
Hated the second one. What was up with them swapping out Terrance Howard for Don Cheadle yet claiming it was the same person? The character development was completely unbelievable and didn't jive with the character development (specifically Robert Downey Jr.) from the 1st movie. There was very little continuation of the story and characters from the 1st movie. I was very disappointed.
