Iron man 1 was much better, although bad enough for itself. No thrills, but barely watchable blockbuster, even enjoyable sometimes, as you have to satisfy with that these days.

But this is totally useless sequel. Action is little and even those end quickly. Some are even unexploited enough like one in Monaco. Stark's main competitor is terrible to say the least. For the one bad ass weapon maker he is totally childish. Gwyneth is again total waste of movie tape in this movie and many other supporting roles. Director should have concentrated more on the relation between Ivan and Stark and should added more interaction between them for further story development. That would present much better watching experience.

Do not waste time watching this piece of bad movie making.
