While I didn't love 2008's Iron Man, I at least enjoyed it. And while I enjoyed the first few minutes of the sequel, the rest was a bit of a mess. The storyline goes all over the place, with unimpressive villians (Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell) and useless characters who seem to have been added purely for the benefit of some extra star power (Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson). Robert Downey Jr. creates a very likeable superhero as the arrogant Tony Stark, but Gwyneth Paltrow is just terrible as his leading lady. The CGI-effects are impressive in some scenes, but cartoonish in others. I didn't hate the film, but there wasn't a whole lot to like.
