I'm more in your court. It was a little rushed but fun. They are tying all the movies together and some of Iron Man 2 was shortchanged to work in the connections to the other movies. The Marvel movie universe is shaping up to be an interesting mashup of the regular and Ultimate universes. The movie was a solid B for me.
Other impressions: Nick Fury as deus ex machina was bit annoying but I liked that he broke Tony down and showed him he didn't have all the answers. His backstory was expanded a bit more and more clues were dropped. I was pleasantly surprised by Scarjo as Black Widow. She didn't have a ton to do but she was good. I liked Jon Favreau's expanded role as Happy. I didn't miss Terrance Howard at all. Cheadle was an upgrade imho. Rourke was good but he seemed shortchanged by the story. I liked all the Easter eggs and shout outs to the Marvel Universe. I really liked the after credit scene. --- In [email protected], Adrianne Brennan <adrianne.bren...@...> wrote: > > I completely and totally disagree.
