first of all there are two words to describe this movie Totally Awesome!!! there i say it despite review from many critics or gossip by people who already watched it at the screening or in other country mainly in Asia because they've got an early release date, ignored their gossip or critics review.In my opinion this movie was one of most excited,entertaining superhero movie ever made so far for those people who already watch iron man before or a big fan from it's comic book they totally going to loved this one maybe for quality yes it's not as good as the first one but it's not a really terrible movie like they say there still a lot of terrible superhero movie out there and this is not include Iron man 2 was a good sequel it's not great but it's good and really worth watching from the special,visual,sound effect was perfect but what makes this movie it is not as good as the first one or not surpass the critics expectation because a few stupid scene and lot of slapstick humor that just really ruined this movie like the humor for example instead of clever and funny comedy like the first one this sequel turned it into a stupid slapstick comedy not just that if the first one all of the joke and humor was perfectly pitch by all of the character that doesn't happen in this one some even try hard to be funny and that just really annoying for us to watch and that just really ruined this movie potential and not just that some scene just really stupid to watch like there is one time happy tony stark driver driving around the circuit of formula one with a ordinary car and that just really stupid and don't make any sense at all and because of stupid scene like that really make this movie looks bad and one of the most important one bad editing really really bad one and because two of these minor mistake favreau did really break it's quality and lack of originality that the first one had to offer maybe he's in hurry making this or maybe the budget that was being cut off effect the final picture all of this was just really sad and destroyed it potential to be as good as dark night or even better.the acting was good and a breakthrough performance from Sam Rockwell as Justin hammer really lived up this sequel as usual Robert Downey delivered it everything from it start until finish and a little disappointment from don cheadle as Lt.James Rhodes replacing Terrence Howard other than that a surprise good performance from scarlet Johanson as the sexy shield agent black widow as well as mickey Rourke for playing a vengeance full scientist Ivan vanko despite all of that minor mistake this movie is really worth watching for and just really awesome superhero movie in the end let just hope for the best for this movie to do well in the box office so iron man franchise didn't end up just like that despite all of the bad review or people talking that is not as good as the first one i am just has a big expectation about this franchise to be great and i hope all of that could change in the next iron man movie (if it's going to be made)and favreau should direct again to proof those critic that has underestimate him in this movie and make the most awesome superhero movie ever.
