Iron Man 2 - Bigger ? Yes, Better ? - Nope.


I watched the movie Iron Man 2 recently. I had seen the prequel - Iron Man and had really liked the movie. It was a wonderful entertainer and Robert Downey Jr had done an exceedingly excellent act in it. Hence having a sequel to that with the same and right amount of fun filled in it is a difficult job. Hence I watched Iron Man 2 with some what muted expectations.

I felt it's an Ok movie nothing spectacular - but pales in comparison to the original.

Its filled in with more action packed scenes, fights and Robert Downey Jr has done his role well. But I felt it's filled with a little too much action and the story also doesn't have much substance in it. No, not that I want some strong story in an action entertainer but there should be a central theme that's driving the movie from start to the end. Here I felt it to be a little weak.

Hence may be worth a watch for the action scenes and Robert Downey Jr. But definitely not as good as the first one - Iron Man - which is one of my favorite superhero movies.
