Iron Man 2
Jackie Blue:
It's a good arc for Iron Man the character.
It's not a good arc for Iron Man the Movie Franchise.

Well, to begin with, the symbiote arc in Spider-Man was terrible to begin with. It never fit the character.
Beyond that, emo Spider-Man could've worked if Sam Raimi weren't a shit director. People don't seem to want to admit it, but 90% of his output is cult classics that people enjoy mostly for schlock rather than any discernible quality.
The alcoholism arc in Iron Man was beautifully done, however, and Favreau strikes me as an at least competent director.
Faker:
Ok, I'll grant you that with the exception of the Spider-man trilogy that the rest of Raimi's out put fits in the "cult" end of the spectrum, but I think to call him a "shit" director oversteps the mark by quite some distance.
Ok he isn't the worlds greatest director but you have to admit he has a definate visual flair, and has acheived remarkable things on very limited budgets.
Yes Spider-man 3 was a stinker, but the fault doesn't lie in Raimi's limitations as a director. The script was the real weakness, and the fact that Raimi very much had Venom, a character he repeatedly said he had no interested in, pushed onto him clearly diminished his enthusiasim for the project. I think if 3 had of been just Sandman, and Harry as the new Goblin, it could possibly have been the best of the series, but alas we'll never know.
Dazed:
That would take very little doing, given that the entire series is godawful shit of the worst kind. The directing sucks, the acting is worse, and the writing is beyond horrible. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst should be fed through a woodchipper together.
Scandanavian War Machine:
they're saving that for Spiderman 4
