Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay). The action is terrible, and the plot is basically just an excuse for the action. Despite that, there's not actually much fighting, which is a good thing. Still, the plot is completely uninteresting, and anything that's good about the movie was much better in the first one. It's implied that in the period between the two movies, Iron Man did a lot of saving the day, maybe even some superhero-ing. Why can't we see that movie?
Objective Rating: 2.0/4 (Indifferent).
