Iron Man 2 (2010) - Rating: 3/5

Fun and enjoyable, though largely messy and meaningless. Too much to deal with, and not enough time. Too much focus on technology, gadgets, gimmicks, and future movie plugs (The Avenger movies) at the expense of character and plot. Should have trusted my gut instinct to wait this one out, expected it to turn out this way. All the headline actors underused. Reminded me of Transformers a bit. A corporate sell-out, caving to the stuidios. Some of the dialogue quite amusing and entertaining, peppered throughout the movie - you have to listen out for it - it's never consistent. Waiting for something to happen throughout the whole movie, but never materialises. Worth watching just for Downey Jr's performance, and the machine-porn.
