From cinemablend, The first wave of Iron Man 2 reviews have arrived on the internet and the reaction is… strange. Though the film currently holds an 82% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 17 of the 20 reviews there listed as fresh, a closer examination of what most of these critics are saying reveals something else: disappointment.
If you read through all of those reviews you’ll discover conflicted critics, most of whom seem to be zeroed in on the same, specific problems over and over again. Most reviewers seem to think the film is wildly uneven and too light on action. They say that keeps it from being as much fun as the first one, though I wonder how long it’s been since they saw the first one. Much as I love the original Iron Man it’s also wildly uneven and, to be frank, kind of light on action too. The first act of the film is a blast but that final act never really takes off and zooms into the stratosphere the way it should have. To me the things most of these critics complain about are the very same things that didn’t work in the first one. And the first one, in spite of those things, was a lot of fun.
