Half baked

Had loved Iron Man, and had great expectations from the sequel too.. But expectations are a sure way to disappointment. Thanks to the sequel for helping me see the lesson a bit more clearly. Talking of which 'half baked' is the necessary and sufficient review for this one. It seemed to me that the director tried to fit in too much of stuff to please every-one and the resultant mess ended up pleasing no-one. Some salient blahbah
1. A villian who creates an electric whip in twenty first century is dumb.
2. Remote controlled robots is as old as Baba Aadam.
3. Second lead with nothing to do is older even than Point #2, but I object to the underutilized tin-suit.
4. Too many hollywood stereotypes (father, legacy n stuff), Iron man the original was much more realistic.
Overall, a few good graphics, but not worth your time.
