the good:
- robert downey jr. incredible. seriously. again, i have to give major credit to the people who cast him as stark/iron man. he was perfect note for note from beginning to end.
- sam rockwell as justin hammer. despite the lack of real development of the rivalry, sam rockwell also proves that he really is as good an actor as he always seems to be.
- visually. like the first one, a stunning movie. some overdone (the scene where black widow breaks into Hammer's offices felt too showy, as if to say "hey teenage boys, here's a hot woman in a cat suit kicking ass") but mostly fantastic.
- the nods. mostly the captain america shield. agent coulson's reaction was pretty much priceless.
the bad:
- lack of development, plot and character wise. even of the characters you knew from the first one, it felt like there was a lot just sort of thrown at you.
- shoehorned together plot. too many story lines put together with various levels of success - tying Whiplash to Hammer was good and made sense. black widow being tied to shield, eh (yes, she should be, but i think a major point was missed in both her and the villain were Russian). the whole war machine plot, while it did work, felt a little rushed as well.
anyway. so was it as good as the first one, which was completely brilliant and amazing? no. and i don't think it really could have expected to be. it really felt like, in some respects, they were saying "this movie is a stop-gap between the first one and the entire future of the marvel film universe - we're not positive if we're going to get another movie out of iron man alone, so we need to hit you with this, this, and this." it will be interesting to see where this leads once the rest of the avengers are put into place. how it SHOULD go is something like this:
at the end of the captain america movie - maybe after the credits, where we know he has been frozen in ice, we see a block of ice with a vaguely human form in it on a table, surrounded by tony stark (in or out of costume), thor, bruce banner (or hulk), and maybe some others that we will not have seen yet (wasp? pym? maybe we only vaguely identify them in this scene, just to set people up for the avengers movie, which this will then lead into). of course, i don't write for marvel studios so...
