Critic Reviews

  • Laremy Legel, Film.com

    It's enjoyable to see a quality superhero dynamically and enthusiastically rendered.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Rourke puts a human face, albeit a bashed one, on comic book villainy.

  • Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

    Even the director...seems to view the heavy clanking of mechanized men as a bit of a chore: the kind of well-prepared yet unremarkable meat course that must inevitably follow the delightful amuse bouche of Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Stark.

  • Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

    Superhero Stark remains intriguing.

  • Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

    It's a solid blockbuster with a few faults that you just don't mind overlooking.

    Not as awesome as the first one but a whole bunch of ass kicking goodness involved!! Cant wait for Thor, Captain American and the Avengers.

  • Martin S


    I think that it was better than the first one. If you want action. That's what you get. And there's some good actors in it

  • Michael M


    Your typical super-hero movie. Filled with too many explosions and bad storytelling. The original was capable of doing both much better.

  • Ken S


    A great cast is totally wasted on a script that's full of refrigerator logic.

  • Matthew S


    It ended with everyone still strangers to me. But hey, there is a lot of cool and sexy eye-candy! The action sequences were at least coherent, unlike a lot of movies, and left plenty of room for humor.
