Iron Man 2

[drelmo]

Iron Man 2 comfortably exceeded my expectations.

It is funny, full of genuinely witty banter, and that helps push it through the pathologies of sequel superheroes.

They even waved around a Not Captain America's Shield Maybe to imply it had the mysterious new element. :)

You know..I hadn't even thought "Vibranium"

They didn't use anyone's codenames apart from Iron Man. (There's a brief reference to the words 'War Machine' in dialog, but he's never called that, and the word "Whiplash" is, like "Ewok" in RotJ, never spoken aloud.)

My guess is that the Thor movie happens concurrently with IM2 (Fury is constantly saying something more important is happening in New Mexico), and the crater scene happens near the end or at the act 2/act 3 boundary...
