The early reviews for the superhero sequel are out, and they’re mostly mixed to negative. That’s hugely disappointing considering how good the first movie was.

And anyone looking for an explanation as to why “Iron Man 2” fails might look at an interview Robert Downey Jr. gave Entertainment Weekly. During the discussion, the actor lets slip that the movie was recut after test audiences hated Tony Stark this time out — perhaps because Downey pushed the arrogance too far this time.

Have the filmmakers fixed the problem with the theatrical cut? You’ll have to wait until Friday to see for yourself.
