Sequels have such a hard time matching the success of the origninal movie and this is no exception. I was so excited to see this movie but disappointed when the movie ended. What an exceptional cast! Don Cheadle, Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Rockwell, and I'm sorry but I can't go on, but let's just say the talent was there to make a great movie.
Unfortunately, there was one problem, the script. It was all over the place, and the characters were not as believable as the first movie. And there was one casting that didn't work out well; Mickey Rourke. He was amazing in "The Wrestler", but here he just looks like a Russian version of Randy the Ram Man; oh and a homeless version too, no trailer to sleep in. In addition, his character is supposed to be a genius and a brilliant scientist? Come on, really? At least make him seem like a scientist, not a car mechanic who can weld crap.
Scarlett Johansson is so unbelievable hot in role that I forgot she was fighting guys in the movie. Absolutely smoking, and the rest of the cast was equally good with Don Cheadle filling in admirably as Tony Stark's best friend and fellow freedom fighter. So if they had touched up the script and recast the villain this would've been worth the wait. If I were you, I'd wait for it on cable.
