Much preferred the first Iron Man. The parts between the action sequences are incredibly dull. None of the characters is really that interesting.

I think the story is just way off. There is no onward thrust in the story.

The dialog is obscure to say the least when you can understand what they are saying. And what is Stark's problem. The story expects you to understand too much from little hints.

Robert Downey Jr needs to speak more slowly and articulate each word.

Mickey Rourke is just so bizarre looking.

Gwyneth is older looking - her face is drawn but still has a stunning figure.

Scarlett is alluring with her dark hair and her action sequence near the end is quite good. But her role is a bit puzzling.

Just forget it - its a waste of time. Even the fighting between the silly looking Iron Men is so lame.
