Oh dear...

3/5. Very good effects, especially at the Monaco Vintage Grand Prix.

I don't know if this the same director as the first one, if so, they've taken their eye off the ball.

If you go see it, there is yet another teaser after the credits...

I thought it was great throughout, though the sequel doesn't look near as good.

Why "Oh dear" DG?  3/5 is a passing grade, no?

You forget that his rating system is off by at least 1 from most other rating systems.  He rated Iron Man 2 in the same classification as the new Indiana Jones movie which would be an "Oh dear" in my books as well.  I learned long ago that I often completely disagree from Danny's reviews, and early reviews on RottenTomatoes look promising, so I'm still hopeful.

Malenko:
Same director , Jon Favreau. He always does a tiny bit part in his flicks. He played Happy Hogan in the first IronMan (limo driver) and apparently reprises the role in this one. I thought the first IronMan was a 5, I have huge hopes and will judge form myself just like I did the Clash remake.

I was trying to think of a way to scale what I thought into his but its too varied.....

Michael Clayton was a 5, Gran Turino was not (a solid 4)
Taken was a 4.5 but IronMan was a 5
300 was at least a 4, same with Max Payne. Zohan was a 2.5 on a good day and Yes Man was a 3
Indiana Jones 4 was a 2.5 tops, TMNT was a 4

I didnt see anything else on his list to compare to.
