No misteps, no major triumphs either. Its exactly the same feel as the first one, but without a whole lot of surprises, you know exactly what to expect this time around. You could play them back to to back and it'd be a four hour movie.
It felt a bit much like... just an installment. If it was a tv series, it'd be an episode. No major upping of the stakes, no real fear for the characters at any point. And while the "Tony is gonna die" plot thread really had me going, they solved it a bit too easily. It was just... busy setting up the universe, still.
Also, the last fight needed to be ten minutes longer.
So.. it wasn't bad. Worth seeing. But... more of the same. Does make me wanna pull out my Samurai Jack dvds tho...
