The Kernel take
A 57 Metascore on a $200M budget represents a notable critical disappointment, though the $623.9M worldwide gross suggests audiences were far less discriminating than critics.
Director track record: Jon Favreau
Iron Man 2 trails well below Jon Favreau's 64.1-point average across his other 9 scored films, falling 7.1 points short and failing to approach the 79-point high water mark set by the first Iron Man.
Lead track record: Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr.'s 57-point outing here trails his 60.6-point average across 27 other scored films, a 3.6-point dip that still leaves him nowhere near the 86-point peak he achieved with Richard III.
