I enjoyed this, don't get me wrong. It's a brilliant summer blockbuster, but there's just something off with it, and can't put my finger on what it is. Everything is there, a good balance of action, drama and humour. I'm racking my brains as to why I didn't enjoy it as much as Iron Man.

I've came to the conclusion that's it just isn't memorable enough. It's as if they just made it for the sake of having a sequel. There's nothing that memorable about it at all. The pacing I feel is really uneven, there's only 2 main action scenes, and as good as they are, I just felt that they were just showing off the special effects. It just didn't have any substance.

Robert Downey Jr is a brilliant actor, and I have to admit, there were scenes in Iron Man 2 where he really did make me laugh. The comedy was spot on, and it contained quite a lot of 'laugh out loud' moments. Anyway, the problem I have with Stark is that he doesn't feel like the same man from Iron Man. He comes across as arrogant, where as in the the first movie he was really smart. I wasn't too keen on the introduction of the Black Widow either, as much as I enjoyed watching Scarlett Johansson on a 60ft IMAX Screen.

I left the cinema feeling flat, and disappointed. I'll wait for the DVD release and watch it again. But I wasn't that impressed today, sadly.
