I didn't like it at all. i thought it sucked big time. I loved the first film and eagerly anticipated this one but it was beyond flat. The first third opened well and kept my interest but then it dragged itself into oblivion for an hour of slow plot development.
The final showdown battle picked it up again but for me the damage was done and I didn't really care what happened in the last act as the film had lost me by then.
The script was diabolically bad. The scenes whewre Pepper ignores Tony in her office as she is just too busy was painful to watch. This is the guy who made her CEO and is still the largest shareholder in the company and she has no time for him? Yeah right like that happens in real life right enough? And what was Samuel L Jackson doing in this movie? That whole plot development was just confusing and dumb. Like Tony needed Samuel L to come along and "force" him to save his own life? Lame indeed.
I gotta give this one a thumbs down much as it pains me to say it. And I LOVED the first film. Was this made by a different director?
