Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

I thought Iron Man 2 suffered a bit from what made Spider-Man 3 such an awful movie in that it tried to do way too much and was constantly distracting itself. Each of the three story lines were good on their own but when forced to compete for attention were given short shrift.

It delivers entertainment but for me did not rise above the middle of the pack for comic book movies. Though when I got home AMC was showing Superman Returns so I was immediately reminded that it could have been much worse (if they'd been showing Transformers I'd have been reminded of who truly abysmal it could get).

As for the post-credits nugget I'm guessing that only 20% of the people there had even the faintest idea of what they were seeing (it's a set up for the Avengers movie), I know I had to explain it to Lani.
