watched it..liked it...Lots of CGI action so if you are not into that than do not watch. I didnt like 2 as much as I liked 1 but it was near as good. Rourke, Downey and Cheadle were good in it. Sam Jackson was a wasted performance and Scarlet Johanson was nice to look at but she wasnt very good in this movie.

Got it. didn't know that.

I really liked this one. The story was much more complex but it held together well. Stark loses it and someone else has to take up the suit, just like in the comic. Downey is naturally the best person to pull something like that off. The War Machine suit is bad ass. Johansen is great eye candy as usual but she thinned out a little too much for my taste. Bring back the thickness.

Fury isn't played up as much as some of the reviews say. But the setup for the Avengers is obvious.

Mickey Rorke has the grizzly old guy market cornered. His portrayal of Whiplash was great.

Solid two hours of entertainment.

Pretty good quality. Not the best, but a good way to kill a couple hours at work if you need to.

Meh. Techno eye candy, killing robot drones.

Johansen is nice to look at but wooden as hell. Really, really bad. Paltrow's on such high heels that it makes her walk really oddly and it's distracting. Plus she looks like a scarecrow.

Fun but I wish I had waited for the DVD.

I liked the first one a lot, but this one was better IMO (despite the slow middle section). Cheadle is a much better Rhody-- although he doesn't show it until the last half of the movie. Overall much better supporting cast for Downey, and Mickey Rourke is the easily the best villain since Ledger's Joker. Garry Shandling and Sam Rockwell were excellent. Finale seemed a little rushed, but worth watching on the big screen.

Comic book fans will want to stay through the credits.

Pretty much a waste of time.

The three major players are good as noted above, but Christ is the dialogue and direction garbage.

I prayed for Paltrow to die more and more after each scene she was in.

Entertaining...then again, I think this is the first theater movie I've been to in the 1.5 years since my daughter was born, so I'm pretty easy.

That said, Paltrow and Johansen need some food. Now.
