I have posted this review also at my other blog: Dadedidodu.com
Loaded with a box of popcorn, a bunch of fast food takeouts – we raced our way to the cinema. We got there just in time, advertisements featuring new movies are still rolling. I was not too excited about the movie because I was not too much of a fan of the first film. But here is hoping that the second installment would be good, and ofc ourse we wanted to see what the hype was all about. To my disappointment – the movie turned out to be much like how the first one was, full of high grade special effects and visuals, but lacking in the story department. Just like part 1, somebody AGAIN copied Iron Man’s suit and became the villain – there goes my hope for originality. The only real thing that made the movie bearable was the graphics – and the funny antics of Robert Downey Jr. I was also disappointed at the fight scenes… the enemies were bleh. The only good fight scene was between War Machine and Iron Man, the final fight with the antagonist was not even worth mentioning. To the creators of future comic book adaptation movies - PLEASE PLEASE and again PLEASE EXTEND and CRAFT great fight scenes – it should be the heart of any comic book super hero adaptation movie!!! GRRR!!! OK… now that I got that off my chest, I will give my final rating: 4 out of 5. It should be lower – but since Z was happy about the movie, I gave it some bonus points. I’m guessing with Z’s reaction to the movie that we would be present again in the next installment of the film.
Reminder: One thing worth mentioning was Nick Fury’s more prominent role, so word of advice – wait for the end credits roll, you’re in for a small but nice scene.
